That or theyre trannies

it's a myth that high IQ people are more autistic

@Perihelion - CA yeah there's a darker Avenue you can go down too lol

People sometimes get neurotic and autistic mixed up

^hmm good point

Autism spectrum disorder is kinda just a made up bucket of symptoms many of which correspond to introversion

WE WANT :honk:

People conflate autism with savantism

Autistic is the guy from 4 chan educating you on something obscure. Neurotic is your ex gf.

:honk:

@ophiuchus yeah there are definitely types of autism that are absolutely debilitating. Not all are blessed with the Savant nature

actual diagnosed autism correlates with low IQ

Lol well smart people tend to be more neurotic is what i mean

Neurotic is the 4chan shill from the adl

Autism is non-verbal screeching because you set down the trash can lid too hard

:yeet:

yee yee 🤠

Pretty sure there is good evidence that autism is an extreme male brain. Ol Sasha Baron Cohen's cousin is a pretty famous psychologist who has done work on it

I wish we had a "this tbh" reaction for agreement

Autistic people, even girls, tend to have hyper masculine facial features

But pointing works

Aspergers is basically an inability to handle your emotions

@Andrew-KY I've actually heard that it has to do with too much testosterone which is why it's predominantly diagnosed in males.

I'm not sure if that's true though

Introversion is actually heightened sensitivity. At far end you have screeching at noise. As an introvert put me in a party and overstimulate me and i understand the need to screech loudly.

“I feel slightly sad, I’m going to completely overreact”

@ophiuchus oh shit Courtney?

also, a lot of people don't understand what correlations are

Too much testosterone would cause both a hyper masculine brain and facial features @Jordan - MD

Wew

I knew an autistic with a pituitary problem so he was like six foot eight

My aunt had two children- one non-verbal autistic child who’s in a group home, one aspergers kid who gets autism bucks

So, some people take the myth to the other extreme. Just because autism correlates with low IQ doesn't mean *all* autistic people are dumb. There was this guy at work who I called autistic, and my manager and a shift leader were like, "he's actually really smart". Like, okay, but I didn't say he was dumb, I said he was autistic.

My only emotion is 🇫

F

F

And, no, I didn't say it to his face, it was in private. I genuinely think the guy was on the spectrum, I wasn't just being a dick.

I’m pretty sure the invention of the hyperlink made everyone under 30 have terminal ADHD

Autism is correlated with high intelligence
