A Retard
Yeah, retards that invented half the stuff you use!
Autism doesn't make you smart either. I have never seen this stated.
Just because there are brilliant people with autism, that does not automatically diagnose everyone with autism as a genius, just awkward lol.
I KNOW THAT NOT ALL ARE, BUT TYPICALLY THEY ARE AND I SAID ASPERGERS NOT AUTISM!
"One parent's search for answers to a particularly distressing school situation led her to characterize the plight of her 9-year-old Aspergers son like this: "The good news is he's bright, and the bad news is he's bright!"
This revealing description makes a sadly accurate statement about an educational system that not only fails to understand the Aspergers youngster – it also fails to recognize that such understanding is in fact necessary if positive change is to occur. An analysis of what this parent meant by her statement gives one a window on the sometimes bizarre world of Aspergers.
In most disorders, a descriptor like "high functioning" is an excellent indicator of potential success – thus, the good news. How then can intelligence be considered bad news? The answer to this question lies in the paradoxical nature of Aspergers itself.
Kids with Aspergers are cognitively intact (i.e., they possess normal, if not above-average intelligence). This creates an expectation for success. Furthermore, the pursuit of their restricted range of interests and activities often results in (a) the amassing of impressive facts, and (b) an expertise beyond their years. This is a potential problem!"
