Top 6 Things Autistics Are Better At Then Neurotypicals

Post Reply New Topic

Being autistic means that you probably struggle with dating, living independently, and making friends to a certain degree. But there are things that autistics are actually better at then the neurotypicals population. Here are the top 6 things.

Note: This won't apply to every autistic but autistics tend to have these qualities.



1. Honesty...

Autistics are well-known for their honesty even when it's not always what you want to hear. For instance, a woman asking her autistic boyfriend if her dress makes her look fat. While most neurotypicals would say "you look great honey!", if a spectrum male feels like you look fat, he'll probably say yes.

Honesty is a good trait to have because it lets others know you're trustworthy but being too honest can either piss some people off or make you come off as an a**hole. (Just read my old threads that have been locked for knowing that being too honest and impulsive makes you come off as an a**hole)




2. Seeing patterns

"Brain regions associated with recognizing patterns tend to light up more in autistic people than the general population, perhaps explaining why those with autism often excel at visual tasks, a new study finds.

A new review of multiple studies determined that people with an autism spectrum disorder tend to have more brain activity in these regions."


That's some good s**t right there!




3. Doing routines...

Why do you think so many autistics get a job of stacking books at a library? Because it's detail oriented and it's basically doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...

Oh my f*****g god! Just the thought of it makes my brain hurt! No way in hell am I ever doing that s**t.

But for many autistics, they're quite good at doing repetitive things...



4. Quirky sense of humor...

If you're into socially awkward quirky males, then you may like the autistics. Us aspies tend to have a quirky sense of humor. Some things that only us autistics could come up with that are funny.



5. Logical Thinking...

Many of us are like mini-Spocks. We're always observing the world around us and using logic. Because we're badass like that...


6. Sex

According to a study published by Aspielovers.c0m, people with autism spectrum are better at having sex then neurotypicals. The reason is because autistics are less likely to be sexually active so when they hit the sack, they f**k like it's their last. They also can go harder and longer then neurotypical males ever could.

In addition to this, the average neurotypical male has a refractory period of 30 minutes while the average autistic male has a refractory period of just 2 minutes. They can literally have multiple orgasms in a single session.

For this reason, autistics are truely the most badass motherfiretruckers around. All you need to do is just find a girl to "pokemon and chill" or "anime and chill" with and you'll be set. Just wear protection.

number 6 is true for sure. lmao.

I'd have to say 1 thru 5 apply to me for the most part.

As for number 6, wow can't wait to get started on that!

Sounds like you're really growing up, Ezra. Anybody in mind? hee hee

Oh my god

I hate sex and I suck at it.

There is no aspielovers.com or aspielovers.com that I can see And even if there is or was such a website, websites do not usually publish studies although studies are reprinted and links to studies posted on websites. A online search showed no studies or even speculation about this topic.

Very high incidents of depression and anxiety have been well documented in Aspies. That depression and anxiety inhibit sexual ability has been well documented.

Because of the high anxiety and the depression rampant in the Aspie population discussion the positive aspects of the condition, examples of successfull Aspies, and advice from those Aspies are desperatly needed in part to counteract the negative falsehoods and assumptions about us held by society and by many of us. Replacing negative falsehoods with positive falsehoods can be a short term morale boost but can also be damaging. It would seem creating any type of falsehood would be more damaging if we are more honest as often theorized.

So if any studies confirming the above actually exist I would love(pun intended) to to read them.

^^ Buzz kill

Same here... But hey we get points for honesty!

As an asexual, I find number 6 somewhat difficult to believe.

1-5 definitely apply to me, though

1 to 5 apply. It's easier for me to climb Mt. Everest than get sex from somebody. At 53 I'm still a virgin and have never been in a meaningful relationship.

All of the above 1-6 tend to apply to me in varying degrees.

I love observing the world around me and I like to see patterns in things. Being fond of words I like to do cryptic crosswords and work out anagrams, as well as write and do quizzes on sporcle.com.

1-5 describe me to a T. I don't have much to say about #6 though.

This is great, especially "Pokemon and chill"! Although I would imagine it may be more difficult for us because it involves constant touching and stuff....

^ best part IMO. i never had problem with touching.

yeahhh, no. as much as i'd (really) like to believe it, we're gonna need a source, buckaroo.

1 applies to me. Also the one about logical thinking. I also notice details with stuff that others seem to fail to notice. It can be really irritating sometimes when others fail to apply logic to a situation and won't listen to my advice....Then they finally figure out I was right
