IQ- at least 140, degree or PhD level academic qualification,
Sees being an autistic person as far more a gift than a deficit
Progresses quickly from non diagnosed to expert with lived experience
No.Somewhat.126 and bachelors.Gift in some ways curse in others. Not less or more than a neurotypical, just different.No (at least in the way I think I read what you are saying on that 5th one) I was diagnosed as a child.
Btw I thought I said it earlier but I guess I didn't so I'll add it now, actually despite having a "good" score on my IQ results I don't put too much stock in them overall because they do have biases and and they also don't measure types of inteligence just the ability of the person to take this one specifically. I also find it weird to apply IQ to something like an ASC diagnosis, for instance if the assessor suspectes a learning disability along with ASC they will maybe test for IQ just to see if that helps confirm of deny their suspicions but for "people with HFA" it doesn't mean much. Because my issues are less a problem with capability and more a problem with cope-ability a IQ of 126 and the ability to opperate multiple vehicle types or achieve academically doesn't mean squat if I get overloaded, overwhelmed, meltdown, shut down or go non-verbal in thos emoments my autistic experience is like anyobody elses regardless of something like IQ.
