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 🇫

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
I believe you’re thinking of Down syndrome
“What about this” x 9000000000
No, that's a myth, autism is correlated with low intelligence
let me look it up
NAXALT
Yeah downs syndrome is definitely not correlated with high intelligence lol
generic comment of no value
Asperger's high iq, autism low
yep it correlates with low IQ
Down’s syndrome is completely different. There are serious physiologic changes with downs.
They don’t live to be very old
I had no idea that Asperger's was divorced from autism
Do autists live to be old? I heard that IQ actually correlates with lifespan.
Theyre just buckets of symptoms that show up together. They have no underlying causal theory
The latest DSM tightened up the reqs for autism diagnosis, so aspies aren't autists officially
IQ correlates to being based and redpilled.
It does, but only because high IQ people tend to take better care of themselves
@Jacob that's actually a good question, most of the autistic folks that I've known in my day have other underlying health issues that would prevent them from living a long life. But that doesn't mean all of them do that's just an anecdotal experience
Or low iq people die off
oh ya that's another thing
"autism" just refers to described behaviors
it's not really an *actual* condition @Perihelion - CA
And make more money for better treatments
Saying that you behaved a certain way because of your autism is a tautology
True
Has Down syndrome always existed or is it a new thing?
Most modern psychology is tautology
Well, that doesn't mean it isn't useful
Always, they just used to be left in the woods
@Jacob I just learned a new word
