Apparently it means being so much smarter than everyone else, that everyone else just seems so simple to you that you can't relate to them, everyone else just finds you to be stupid, because you're actually so smart that you can't speak the language of the mongoloids.

No wonder why I think you people are such idiots.

Autists are good for one thing only.

Counting cards for me.

Autism has nothing to with intelligence. It just means you lack the ability to pick up on otherwise obvious social cues.

Autism is 100% about intelligence and related mental processes.

Social cues are just a side effect on some parts of the spectrum.

High-functioning autism is a subset of the condition in general. The overarching term "autism" has everything to do with communication and social cues.

Social cues are naturally illogical and a person of advanced intelligence operates on a level much higher than that. It's like trying to drive a race car on mud.

You need to be able to socialize to succeed in this world. It's a much more valuable trait than high intelligence.

You can't put a label like that on autism, because it isn't a social disease.

There are more lifes who can't pick up social cues who aren't autistic at all.

It's about abnormality in the procession of information, which absolutely results in lower or higher IQs, being socially incapable is only a side effect.

I just want to clear the air and say that not all autistic people have high intelligence, rather it's the level of intelligence you have that determines where you fall in the spectrum, if you do at all.

However, the different kinds of autism stem from the way a person handles information, and that is the same place that intelligence stems from.

The two are strongly linked, and there are serious social symptoms, but they are not the underlying cause, or by any means the definition.

Well, investing in vaccines then.

It's not caused by vaccines.
