Some people think I might be slow , but I do have an IQ of 120 which is considered slightly bright. Is it because I am low energy?

Not unintelligent, though you seem sometimes to draw very firm conclusions that others may find somewhat puzzling as your kind of evidence is not very transparent at times, like God revealing his approval of Trump to you.

You don't look or sound like an unintelligent individual.

And hey, he can believe whatever he wants to. He just needs to know that it will be challenged like all of our own believes.

You wouldn't like it if someone wanted you to accept their own "truth" now would you?

What our friends think, what our parents think, facts, conclusions, statistics, written stories, witness accounts, etc.

We all see what is true differently. Some of what we believe is true is in the minority and some of what we believe is true is in the majority.

Evidence can be as subjective as it can be objective.

Aspies are often perceived to be unintelligent when they are not.

You don't seem unintelligent in the video, nor do you seem particularly low energy, in fact you sound pretty excited to share your new studio.

You do definitely come across as autistic, and you don't blink very much when you get onto a train of thought.

Online I come off as very intelligent.

It's quite sad, really. Where did that gross misconception come from anyway?

Much obliged everyone. I shouldn't care too much what people think . Its only I was wondering if I come across a certain way would cost me on job interviews. Because usually interviews do not go very well. When I'm able to perform musically, I feel more natural and not as awkward.

There's nothing wrong with this guy.

He talks with a Southern accent....and he has the Southern rhythm, which is relaxing.

Some people who don't know any better would think he's "slow." But I know he isn't.

He's a guy from southern Virginia whose political beliefs do not mesh with mine--but who is a very viable human being, nevertheless.

Differing ways of communication, verbal and non-verbal

I'm from Central Virginia, actually. But, thanks.
