I am autistic, however. Life will never be "easy" for me; I'll probably fail at things that are so simple...as simple as they come. In fact, nobody has ever truly understood my wisdom; they just nod their heads and give irrelevant replies. For those of you who aren't autistic, consider yourselves blessed.
@AdolescentMr Why? Sometimes autism makes one a better person cognitively. Take me for example. I have Aspberger's Syndrome. I suck at school and sports and I can't really concentrate that long, however I rock at logic and debating. I'm better at that than most people I know. I probably wouldn't have that ability if I weren't autistic.
@ASwiftHippie Yeah, I guess it might be. I've been as shy as Fluttershy my whole life and I find it almost impossible to gauge my own tone of voice when I'm talking and so offend people inadvertantly.
@Moshikashitenai Yeah, and from what I can tell you're above average intelligence. You understand your problem. Normal autistics don't. I don't think normal autistics really have very much abstract or complex thought at all. I have been around a lot of autistic kids because my class had an especially large amount of them(something to do with bad vaccinations) and they don't really understand when you explain something to them, but some can memorize everything you say.
Maybe normal wasn't a good way to put it. I mean someone who has qualities typically associated with autism(Impaired thinking/feeling, social functioning, etc.). There are something like 4 or 5 different types of autism and it varies in degree from person to person.
Either way, you know exactly what I'm talking about, you're just being difficult and pointing out technicalities -_-
The point was that Aspergers is pretty mild and sometimes has advantages.
I am a genius myself, according to the various IQ tests I've taken. However, I am a living example of the ideals of CREATED genius. I made myself who I am!! I'm not a normal genius (I'm not "popular"). Instead of a high knowledge, I have extraordinary wisdom. I may not be a master at math or science, but I am a master of philosophy and human nature. Logic is of less importance.
Nest step in the research - what is the long term psychological effect on the scientists who continually shock small defenseless animals - do their dreams change?

@Moshikashitenai Yes, but Aspergers isn't really the same... It's more of a social problem than anything isn't it?
I have even heard a lot of people trying to claim that Isaac Newton had Aspergers.

@ASwiftHippie What is a "normal autistic"? I don't believe such a thing exists.

This dr. Amidzic says he has not been shown any evidence that genius can be created...
He may not know about the Polgar sisters...
I too am a believer that genius can be created.

conditioning also leads to brainwashing such as propaganda, and mind control. there's nothing new about this.
