Many people with aspergers and other forms of autism turn out to be above average in the intelligence department. As far as aspergers, I don't want to say that I know all of the facts, but I do understand that most people with it excel in a specific subject. I knew someone back in school named Franklin, and when it came to WWII, he knew EVERYTHING. It's actually pretty cool to see. I always find it ironic when people with "mental disorders" turn out to be smarter than most "normal" people.

I didn't want to rub it in his face I have aspergers and a really high IQ, which lead to developing a form of dyslexia. I love being me! in short.

Don't worry. JakobBen is the type of person who believes that on something such as the internet-where slang is widely accepted-you are required to be 100% correct with grammar, spelling, and a well missed punctuation. Jakob fails to realize that not every teacher is an english teacher... nor does he realize that teachers have no control of what a student chooses to use and not use when they are online. No, no Jakob is just a dick, who prefers to pick on one person, but not the other.

I am not an English teacher, I am a social studies teacher. I have a certain inability in spelling and grammar, sorry it bothers you, but it takes nothing away from my teaching, or my intelligence.

[JakobBen]

Whoa. I now understand why kids these days have such lacking ability with the English language. If they're learning grammar and spelling from you, then I think 'your' the source of the issue.

Amazing!
