Think yourself out of it

Silver100

Do any of you find that if you're "intelligent" people expect for to "overcome" your AS symptoms, when they don't have this expectation of people they see as "less-intelligent"?

I have used my intellect to learn consciously how to interpret peoples' behaviour in some circumstances so I don't make the mistakes I did as a child, and it has helped me understand my self better, but there is so much that is not available to intellectual influence, let alone control.

I find this view very irritating.

  • i think there is three types of intelligence,, IQ(general), EQ(emotional) and KQ(knowing),, knowing is,, say you are a rock scientist,, but don't know how to knit.., so a wee old woman shows you how, this old woman has a higher KQ on that specialism.

    Any IQ has nothing to do with Emotional intelligence.., this were I struggle, give me a functional non-social task, no problem, even if I have low KQ, I can learn it by my overall IQ learning capacity, but MY EQ is very low, but the upside is,, it pushes up my IQ because I SEEK to INTELLECT solutions to emotion issues and situation,, this strategy FAILS ! Hence my point is one of totally agreement with Silver and True. BUT IS WHY, BECAUSE WHEN NT'S SEE HIGH IQ,, they attribute it also to emotion quota(EQ).. which is totally wrong. But it is there fallacy, we must not get fooled by there pressure, as we know by autistic experience it does not work that way,, I WISH IT DID ! but I need to stop thinking that... it is not that easy.

    What can we do about this ? I really hate it,, I struggle like **** but the world thinks I am coping !!!! because I can talk intellectual *** !
