      “Autistically smart”?? There are many words in the English language that describe extreme/unusual intelligence. There’s no need to perpetuate stereotypes just to do so

        Yes, I’m not particularly smart. The opposite actually. I may be more intelligent than some other people because of social problems conditioning me to avoid “smart” or “witty” ways of solving problems.
