| I'm not sure these have to be contrasting opinions. You can be highly intelligent and lack the executive function to focus that intelligence in any useful way.

| I think autistics can excel in some areas and be clueless in other areas. So we can be geniuses and dum-dums at the same time, depending on which area of knowledge or ability someone who sees us is looking at. I graduated from an Ivy League university (not that that makes me a genius) but I can't d... |
