Intelligence Vs Autism Spectrum

Hi, I just stumbled across this site and found myself reading the discussions which are very interesting. I set up a profile which you’re welcome to ignore because I don’t really know completely what I’m on about but these are the half unformed thoughts about myself and my life that I have been wondering about.

How do you know if you’re just above average intelligent/academic or on the autism spectrum? 

I might say something wrong while explaining this, I’m sorry if I have already, using wrong terms etc because I’m not deeply educated on it.

I’ve kind of been thinking isn’t it rational to shun socializing if you’re intelligent and not necessarily in an environment where you have connection with other intelligent people?.

Isn’t preferring objects to people rational for someone academic? Humans are quite silly and frivolous and unless you’re working at a top uni, not going to be highly intelligent. But does avoidance of them mean you’re arrogant or use your brain in a more productive way. Some people take drugs or drink so maybe they’re not going to be using their brain to its full capacity. 

So isn’t it just a survival instinct that if you’re clever, you’re going to prefer to be alone rather than settle for averagely intelligent humans, which might look like there’s something wrong.

Isn’t it a fact that we live in an unaesthetic, Capitalist, Consumerist driven world that often makes the man/woman made world quite ugly, full of fake advertising and trash. So isn’t avoiding all that sensory disingenuous junk again rational? 


Isn’t it rational to order the world around us, so isn’t keeping collections and cataloging the height of intelligence? 

Doesn’t it just mean that you’re a good person if you like rules and like them to be followed?

Isn’t the best way to get things done during the day to have a repetitious routine? And not liking it when undisciplined people come along and try and tear you from your strict routine, just because they’re lazy and lack focus and are addicted to frivolous hedonism. 

Might be utter junk coming out of my head, thank you

  • The toxic effects of 'bullying related trauma' destroyed any hope of doing much , with my intelligence, for the common good. I'm reduced to passing on academic and other articles found via my RSS feeds that hopefully better inform and/or interest others. I've done that, almost daily, for about 25 years  now.

  • Awwww this is so sad to hear, I’m sorry. I wonder if I suffered some of this but don’t know. People think I’m cold and standoffish I think. Also I’m not sure if I come across as disingenuous, pretending to care, like with colleagues when I don’t. Also I think people find you a threat when you come across as though you don’t need them. I watch other females behave very close, I’ve had people try to be my friend before and be like they were joined to my hip and I had to get out of their stifling grasp. But for others I think that might be quite normal to have such close relationships. Whereas to me I only see toxicity with that. So I think maybe if I give off that vibe that I don’t care whether the people are there or not they don’t like it.
