| As an ASDer with high IQ, I completely relate to Anna's statement of "I have no patience for people's stupidity." I don't feel sorry for people who get taken advantage of when it was completely avoidable by doing 'due diligence.' ummm you do know that many thousands (perhaps hundreds of t... |

Ugh, where do you get that from? No one said Anna was autistic. |

| Of course, you could argue that in a society which lets the upper echelons get away with billions in fraud and theft, Anna isn't doing anywhere near the same level of damage, and in fact is potentially lifting herself into that strata where control over the lower levels of society means getting awa... |

| That's one of the hardest parts, I think. I never had any interest in a career or profession. I have no issue with being responsible for myself, I just don't think the way NTs do. I totally get that. Out of high school, I had no desire to go to college, and no career ambitions. I'm fascinated by pe... |

| Anyone else watch "Inventing Anna" on Netflix? I'd love to hear from other ASD people regarding this, and here's why... Most people are hating on Anna, saying she's a sociopath and snake. But I completely disagree. Like any social media influencer or successful person, Anna created an imag... |

| Currently, I'm on disability. I'd like to go back to college, but what to study?? There's lots of jobs I would be great at, but I have no interest in anything and no direction. Many years ago, I took a career test, and the five jobs best suited to me and my high IQ, were of zero interest to me. Wond... |

| Wow! Bilingual and multi-lingual is an excellent talent. Not sure where you live, but there's lots of federal and state jobs that need bilingual workers. Many agencies that help immigrants require bilingual skills. Courts need translators. Global companies need bilingual workers, especially import-e... |

Wow. I think that's a very hurtful and insulting thing to say to anyone - neurodiverse or NT. |

The current leadership in Texas is a perfect example of both. I would call that behavior bullying, hateful, judge... |
