I feel like that sometimes, but I am still proud to be an Aspie.
Just think of all the famous, amazing and rich people who are Aspies!
Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak (few people know him, he started Apple and invented the personal computer) Steve Jobs (runs Apple today, invented the iPod... Thats just very very very few, do some research, there are so many successful Aspies.
And saying having a high IQ wont help you in life is ridiculous!
Also, with the interest and knowledge can come skill, coz if you enthusiastic about something you can learn how to master it, for example, I am very good at computers, coz thats my interest.
Like I said earlier, if your interests skills can tie in with a good career, you'll probably be pretty happy. However, when your interests/skills are not conducive to any kind of career (at least any you or others can see), then your life will probably be more miserable.
Why is it when people talk about Aspies they talk about the ones who are famous for their computing?
