I've been talking to you in several post about the same thing so I wasn't even paying attention to the topic.

It's just a way for insecure people to feel better about themselves when they are scared/

Truly there is no man on this forum who is less arrogant than you.

You're seriously saying that ci is the least arrogant man on the forum? WTF

Well if it's not a disability why does it prevent me from doing some things I would like to do, such as socially interact without freaking people out because they wonder what the f*ck is wrong with me.

I don't freak out. So how do you explain that?

Well if it's a disability why doesn't it prevent me from doing anything I would like to do, and why can I socially interact without freaking people out?

No I said I freak people out because of how much I fail at normal social interaction......there are people who accept me for who I am and all but lacking social skills does not help so much with job interviews or other important things.

However sensory overload can freak me out........even more so because of the co-morbid PTSD and anxiety.

Maybe you cope with it better...not everyone with AS has the exact same functioning level, symptoms or co-morbid disorders. Just because your AS does not prevent you from doing anything you would like to do and socially interact without freaking people out does not mean it does not prevent me from doing those things.

everyone is different you know.

seriously though no need to jump on me because my AS interferes negatively with my life.

Okay, people....

Continue with the Autism Supremacy

Lol. Joke. Of course I would marry a Muggle; there aren't enough Autist women out there for everyone to marry a fellow Autist.

I think I am better than most NT, but I'll do everything in my power to avoid getting special treatment. This is for the same reason I'd be insulted if I were to play chess with a child and someone were to suggest that the child start without a queen to make it easier on me. People are not born equal, but the way you find out whether they are equal or not is to give them the same starting position and then to see what happens.

As far as special treatment goes I would like to challenge the neurotypicals to a game of computer augmented 3 dimensional chess. 3 dimensional Chess is just too complicated for me to play without computer augmentation. I am in favor of Special Olympic Games but with dignity. I wish neurotypicals would understand the autistic paradox that even though we are mentally delayed we are nevertheless geniuses.

First, I don't have mental delays. Second, say what you want but if you don't prove genius don't expect people to listen to you. Third, just claiming that you are a genius is a great way to claim you are better whilst not actually doing anything.

80% of people diagnosed with Autism have lower than normal rates of IQ.
50% of people diagnosed with PDD have lower than normal IQ rates.

A diagnosis of aspergers only requires that an individual does not have a cognitive delay; Many people diagnosed with Aspergers are in the normal IQ range.

Averaged together Aspergers diagnoses will average higher IQ's than in the general population, but that is an artificially elevated number because an abscence of cognitive delay is a requirement to be diagnosed with Aspergers, so below average scores are not averaged among those that are diagnosed with Aspergers, whereas in the general population they are.

Genius is rarely identified, some of those identified with genius intelligence have shown traits of autism and speculated to be on the spectrum, however most people diagnosed with Autism have normal to below normal averages of intelligence, given the whole spectrum.

IQ is not a full measurement of intelligence, and has lost some of it's utility in measuring intelligence, now that we understand there are many other types of intelligence that established IQ tests do not measure.

I'll challenge what you both said as based on flawed premises.
