Considering most "writers" today consider a good character to be whatever twitter and china tells them a good character is.

I for one welcome these new robot overlords! Lets hope we can get a fresh story for once.

Very true. Smartest guy I know has a postdoc in a very erudite field and has aspergers.

I have some pretty darn brilliant people in my family - not surprised if I am somewhere on the spectrum.

I have 100% classified myself as hypomanic. Thankfully, not many of the negative side effects and no bipolar / depression.

Just like you classified yourself as a record holder. Since it’s all self diagnosed it must be true! Funny how that works!

Ya, autism is a spectrum and aspergers is on the absolute highest functioning side of it. Meaning high functioning to the point where the person can even handle most social situations without difficulty or even without others being able to notice any possible social incongruences

A person functioning at a level below asperger’s would have noticeable issues in social situations. From assessing kids on the spectrum on this functioning level it’s usually quickly apparent that there’s something that’s just a little “off” in their communication style. It’s hard to describe, but sometimes they are just more intense, as if they are concentrating much harder on speaking than should be necessary. Other times they may make a comment that is too blunt or inappropriate for the conversation. Things like that

Then there is a low functioning side to autism. The lower the functioning level the more cognition will be effected, and the person will struggle with things like sudden change in routine and issues with stimuli/textures. The very lowest functioning have limited or no vocabulary and frequently engage in self-injurious behavior such as hitting self

So when someone uses the word “autism” no one really knows where on that spectrum there are picturing. How someone appears on each far end is like night and day different

It's not great that people like OP self-identify as autistic as a cheap road to intellectual clout online. Autism is awful.
