Alot of my classmates thought I was retorted because of how I acted & because of how much I struggled in skewl due to dyslexia & other learning problems. I do not have a special skill/strength/talent that us Aspies are stereotyped to have so I know I'm NOT a genius & am kind of stupid.

Neither. I'm probably best described as mediocre, or an intelligence version of the curate's egg.

I've had people commonly compliment me on my intelligence, which is nice of them, but it's typically people I don't even know that well. Am seen as an idiot sometimes too when I don't follow what someone is saying, or don't get some social cue/hint.

How can you be so smart and stupid at the same time?

It's a paradox, like alot of things about me. :?

There are more things I'm really bad at than things I'm particularly good at. As said though for most things it's a case of mediocrity. I'm too clever to be really stupid and too stupid to be really clever.
