Rather than going around declaring ourselves to be super humans I think it is better just to raise the question and let neurotypicals decide for themselves what is a super human.

How does one prove it? I win a prestigious award at work and I'm not supposed to brag about my award but then its okay for my Boss to slam me with a bad performance evaluation because he's the Boss.

I have a few ideas for shirts.

Awesomely Autistic Artist

Ladies, I am autistic.
If you like me, you have to say so,
otherwise I think you are just being polite.
Oh, but I'll be yours forever...

Ladies, I am autistic.
Since I don't realize other women
are hitting on me,
I can't cheat on you.

You are supposed to "brag" about it. "Award winning" truly describes you.

I've been called a golden sword the company doesn't want to use, but doesn't want to get rid of either.

Make a dress shirt or suit, just to differ from the standard t-shirt with:
"I'm the one that can focus on knowledge. I'm not scared of facts. And don't need your approval. My brain works splendid regardless your awareness of the fact. People that uses their thinking capability can see through the obvious and know that it's not necessarily the answer."

Phone number in hex etc.. ;)
(some people can count to "10")

Aspies are different. Aspies have problems, but definitely strengths too, something many seems to want to be blind too.

People tell me that autistics can't be artists because they copy the work of others

Obviously if an alien appeared before us with a brain twice as large as ours it would be harder to refute its superior intelligence. So let us say that it is a super human that uses more of its brain than the average person who only uses 10 percent.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_brain_myth

Quote:
The 10% of brain myth is the widely perpetuated urban legend that most or all humans only make use of 20%, 10% or some other small percentage of their brains. It has been misattributed to people including Albert Einstein.[1] By association, it is suggested that a person may harness this unused potential and increase intelligence.

Though factors of intelligence can increase with training[citation needed], the idea that large parts of the brain remain unused, and could subsequently be "activated" for conscious use, is without foundation. Although many mysteries regarding brain function remain, every part of the brain has a known function.[2][3]


Autism including Aspergers Syndrome, has been legally defined by government regulations as disorders understood to inherently limit brain function, in almost every case of these disorders.

Impairments in Social Interaction, impairments in Social communication, as well as restrictive repetitive behaviors, are understood to be a result of limited brain function.

This doesn't mean that autistic people can't be better than average in certain areas of cognitive abilities or skills, it just means that they have limitations in certain areas of brain functioning that result in these behavioral difficulties.

Autistic individuals are often not understood well because of these impairments. It's a good thing that you are proud of your achievement and wanted to share that achievement with others; some autistic individuals have difficulty sharing their achievements with others. Supervisors vary, hopefully the next one you have will be more understanding and supportive of your achievement.

Innate intelligence provides no advantage in the workplace, if not accompanied with actions that are perceived to have merit.

Autistics have no impairments in social interaction but rather society itself is at fault.

There are currently no individuals professionally diagnosed with Autism Disorder or Aspergers Syndrome that do not have significant clinical impairments in social interaction.

Autistic was a word invented by psychiatrists/psychologists to identify individuals with these impairments in social interaction along with other diagnostic criteria described by psychiatrists/psychologists.

Symptoms of significant impairments in social interaction, happen within 6 months of birth for some autistic children. How does society make that happen?

Society refuses to adopt a more complex language that would effectively end all social impairments that autistics face. For example the Greek language features different words for different types of love. There is a separate word for erotic love, brotherly love etc. Society likes to keep things simple by limiting our choice of words and rather chooses to use body language to further convey meanings. If our language was infinitely more complex the neurotypical could not understand it nor could they understand our technology. Faced with a technology that they cannot understand nor can they believe neurotypicals find comfort in classifying us as mentally ill.

Even if a neurotypical dares to believe that our advanced technologies such as space and time travel are possible a neurotypical will quickly dismiss our technologies as a waste of money even though money itself is an obsolete form of wealth transfer.

Stop making stuff up. Right now. I wonder if you know that you're being extremely offensive.

Really? so if society had more complex language, I would process things faster.......pick up on all the body language facial expressions in interaction, have no problems with eye contact ect? all that if society simply encourages the use of complex language?


I somehow find this a little bit on the doubtful side.
