| Posting anything that promotes hatred or harm is illegal at most and against most sites' TOS at least, so no, you're not going to see them on the net, that doesn't mean people don't think it and that doesn't even mean it's not out there even now. Just because you don't see "promotion of hatred or h... |

| My situation has improved; I've been able to socialise to some extent with coworkers at my old job and I'm much more aware of things. What I lack is more opportunities and exposure than social skills, and also self-confidence as a result of bullying from high school. BTW, if you don't like my opinio... |

| To be fair, I did take classes outside of computer science (mostly poli sci, but also Russian). Far more females in those programs, and people were more likely to talk too. I even got to talk to a few of them, but was too focused on my work and wasn't socially aware enough. So many wasted opportunit... |

28 here.
Dunno about others, but I think in my case it's more due to lacking opportunities. Apparently a lot of girls look at me but I rarely get to speak to females. It's not easy given my male-dominated job either (programmer). |

Do autistic people have physical differences?
Do autistic people have a different mental age?
Are autistics Indigo children?

I have both a high IQ and AS and my brain is very busy as well; it's rarely ever at rest. Apparently there are studies correlating stress with high IQ also.
I think where the AS part comes in is that you get addicted to those thoughts and you can't drop them. |
