Am I alone in this?

From as far back as I can remember I've been the cognitive equivalent of the person that bats >.310 in the minor league but <.230 in the major league. Is it due more to the ASD or the schizophrenia/schizoaffective? I'm not at all sure. League= baseball.

I'm an autistic + sz/sz-a person. I blew hot and cold when it came to exams. Based on what my father told me,a few years ago  I underperformed significantly at school.

What I'm talking about is the practical l use of intelligence. I basically suck at it. I'd be up 's**t creek without a paddle', as my late wife would've put it, without the help and support I get. That's contrasted with being a member of several high IQ groups. They're more to do with vanity, getting a short lived ego boost and having something I'm not totally crap at than actually doing anything useful IRL.

  • I only have a remedial knowledge of US Sports. However, Baseball is an Aladdin's Cave of Statistics. Same, in this country, with Cricket. (another sport I only have remedial knowledge of)

    Sometimes, Intelligent People get screwed over. The Work environment demands 'Team Players'. We end up in mind-numbing roles; which don't feed our soul.
