Re: let's share how autistic we are

Well, savant's means that you are very handicapped in one area and very gifted in another. You are probably just high functioning like me. Aspies have average to above average IQs and generally have skills to go against their handicaps.

▼A bunch of iamverysmart level 'bragging'

For me, I teach myself different aspects of mathematics all the time, and I'm naturally gifted in science. I remember a lot of things in my every day life, including conversations from months ago (which my friends and family don't like when I bring up obscure things from years ago, especially when I'm using it as evidence in an argument with them) and having a few more than the first thirty digits of pi memorized by heart by looking at the number for 15 minutes, I don't even know my lexile level now but I know it was like 1500 at the beginning of high school or something, I almost always had shown mastery on tests I'd taken in school, either getting 99th percentile or at least the highest score in the school, I'm naturally gifted at computers and can type up to 128 words per minute (even though my general highest is only 109, and I usually stay around the high 80s), I'm naturally good to an extent at instruments to the extent of being described as having absolute pitch before, I'm good at finding exploits, loopholes, and such, and my brain never stops working at speeds that cause me to not get sleep.

That being said, I am no savant. I do have countless flaws, like not being able to wear 99% of clothing, having to cover my ears a ton, not being able to drive because headlights, the sun, and other lights hurt my eyes so incredibly much, not being able to walk into a supermarket and not instantly gag at the smell of fish across the store, not being able to eat most foods due to taste and consistency, having no skill in inference and the such, never understanding instructions if they are not 100% specific, not being able to function if my schedule is changed, not being able to relate to people around me, drifting away from conversation, having barely any grasp of connotation, not being able to understand if I'm wrong (or just good enough at arguments to not let myself be), not being able to handle situations that are too stressful, being stressed out and having sensory overload by things such as crowded areas, not getting nonverbal hints, not liking looking at eyes, not recognizing faces to the extent where I don't always recognize people I know very well, and so many other things.
Truthfully, however, I usually just am known as either someone who is called way smarter than he acts or some kind of sheldon cooper. Many people don't even know I'm autistic. I'm neither gifted nor handicapped enough to truthfully be a savant, and I truly wouldn't believe you are either. For all I know, you may very well be, but I at least wanted to kind of dissect myself and why I don't believe I'm anywhere close to a savant for anyone else who may believe they are.

This is actually just a normal conversational skill called accomodation theory. You will basically converge with someone (adapting to their linguistic features/nuances/etc.) to reduce social differences between you and ease the flow of a conversation. If I'm in London/with younger people I go a lot more into MLE because that identifies me as part of their group and reduces conversational barriers between us. It's not something I particularly think about but it's a conscious thing (if that even makes sense)

not liking looking at eyes

Among others, this is actually such a big thing for me. I can never look into people's eyes bc it just makes me uncomfortable most of the time and I don't even need to look at them to speak to them yk? I once had a science teacher who was a total **** about it and pulled me out after class to tell me if I didn't look at his eyes when he was speaking to us I would fail the subject lol

Funny thing is I've lived in the south usa for my whole life, and my accent is stuck somewhere between British & Irish

I always thought it was something people did to creep each other out instead of something socially required when I was younger.

Re: let's share how autistic we are

i feel uncomfortable when i look into peoples eyes as well, and if its a female or male i look away from them or only look at their eyes for a certain seconds and look away from them, i also don't want to look at their private parts but its hard when i do look at them, so i look away most of the time i talk

^^ this. also didn't realize it was actually required until just now

i distinctly remember the first time i made eye contact with someone and was like "oh wait this is eye contact and i just made it"

and honestly i can't even look authority figures in the face

i just feel completely oblivious to everything tbh

I guess this is a good time to notify you all of the fact that, even though you seem anonymous, forum mods can see who you are.

That is all.
