| Am I 100% sure that autistics accomplish greater things ( as a % of their population ) then neurotypicals? NO! I am only 80% sure. Am I 100% sure that the world is not flat? NO! I am only 98% sure. I have not personally done any experiments that prove it. And it is not an appeal to authority to thin... |

Are you guys saying that no autistic people were world shakers. Name a few and I will only put them on the list. If greater then 8 I win if only 2/5 you win.
BTW I understand the difference between IQ and emotional intelligence.

Your list has many undiagnosed people on it including Vladimir Putin who rose to be a KGB chief and president of Russia (who knows what he had to do and deal with for that one) and one as old as the hills Bill Gates.

| Feeling like a super hero is a great morale booster for use in the home. Outside of that shelter, excess self-esteem is offensive. It depends on what you mean by humility. I am saying, " I'm OK and you are OK" I am not saying " I am OK and you are not." I am saying that I have s... |

For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mind_of_Adolf_Hitler was very accurate as proven by the fact that... |

| If you think you are disabled you will think like a disabled person. However, you have to be realistic. I accept the fact that my aspergers has many challenges. If I accept my disabilities and not my exceptional abilities I will not have a good life. I give the analogy of a boxer to my students. Su... |

| Scientists do not randomly acquire data . Their research is fine tuned to answer a question ( provide evidence) for an idea. |

| BTW when I say that we have super powers I am not suggesting that we wear tights and a cape. That is a way too literal interpretation. When I was diagnosed I objected and said, " how can I be autistic when I am great with metaphors? " The psychiatrist said that you don't have to have all t... |
