Asperger’s syndrome

[Anonymous No.9817267]

Is there any benefits of having Asperger’s syndrome from a scientific standpoint?

[Anonymous No.9817273]

No. You can have high IQ and not be a fucking social retard

Also, a diagnosed feature for Asperger's and HFA is an average to above average IQ, which automatically places you within a favorable range of academic ability.

>>9817273
A diagnosed feature of HFA (and related ASD conditions) is the requirement of an average to above average IQ.
So you're wrong.
If they have a below average IQ, it isn't AS, or HFA.

No, whilst everyone is on the autistic spectrum (as that's literally what a spectrum means), it's about the amount of observable traits you have.
Also, pic related.
And, because I know you don't know this, but spatial processing is extremely important for mathematical (and logical, in other words academic) ability.

[Anonymous No.9817327]

>>9817325
By academic, I mean STEM.

[Anonymous No.9817333]

maybe because you are a complete social outcast, you have more time to spend on science and stuff

Say it again, kiddo!
I've undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome.
I better keep it this way.
Not even my mom knows about it.
It's almost like I'm hiding beeing gay or some shit

[Anonymous No.9817338]

>>9817333
Partly, but another diagnostic characteristics is certain dedication or interest(s) that you focus solely upon. Which can be extremely helpful when studying, whereas the normal person might lose interest or burn out.

[Anonymous No.9817341]

>>9817335
Maybe visit a professional diagnostic psychiatrist, you might get some sorely needed help.

Imagine that we were all asperger and that we are invaded by an intelligent alien species that is indistinguishable from the human being (except for his eyes)

[Anonymous No.9817358]

>>9817341
Nah, most of the things I've pointed out are mild cases desu
I've also no idea what a psychiatrist can help me achieve
I'm not really that socially awkward IRL
I do ha e to to act sometimes to seem normal to others which I'm very aware of

[Anonymous No.9817359]

[Anonymous No.9817362]

I stare too much, in an attempt to make "normal" eye contact. It gets awkward.

[Da mole No.9817365]

>>9817267
speaking seriously, there is no benefit to being asperger

[Anonymous No.9817368]

>>9817365
Even some diagnostic characteristics are helpful for a career in STEM, such the long-term memory.

[Da mole No.9817372]

>>9817368
Having a good memory does not mean havings a great intelligence

Asperger’s syndrome is no longer an official diagnosis. It's all simply autism now.

[Anonymous No.9817377]

>He doesn't understand the point.
Another diagnostic characters is an average to above average IQ.
So, again, you're partially wrong.
In fact, even if you DID have an average IQ (and therefore able to have AS or HFA), having other characteristics like better spatial processing, memory; attention to detail and autistic obsession (among others) would mean you could function BETTER in STEM than a peer of the same IQ.
So, now you've gone from partially wrong, to completely wrong IN THIS CONTEXT.

As it should, it should be graded along the spectrum it makes more intuitive sense.

I got this idea the other day for a device that would stop you from ever being able to look at another face again. It would need to have a forward facing wide angle camera and an eye tracking camera so it could tell when your eyes were approaching a face. It would have electrodes that painlessly stimulate your eye muscles so every time you are about to focus on a face your eyes would be forcibly steered away just enough so that you couldn't look directly at it. You'd be able to see faces in your peripheral vision, but it would totally stop you from looking directly at one. If something like that was possible to build and implant into a person, I wonder what sort of psychological damage it would cause.

Try to give your eye contact a meaning, people dont usually just look at eachother unless they have something to say or comment on. And if someone catches you looking at them, just say something like you wanted to get their attention and look away

Isn't this an episode of Black Mirror?

[Anonymous No.9817482]

>>9817465
There was that episode where people could block each other, but I feel like my idea would be even worse. The feeling of being so close to looking at someone but never being able to lock on would be a terrible punishment.

Diagnosed autist here. Some of the signs depicted in this infographic seem pretty inconsistent with autism. "No response to sound" and "No real fear of dangers" are especially suspicious. My cowardice and preference for medium-level sound can be attributed to autism desu.

The cuddling thing is also kind of hard to answer when you haven't got any close acquaintances.

I have asperger's and am in college I personally love solitude and used to be terrible with interacting with others (I can fake better now). I do inappropriately laugh at times and don't really fear much. But I also have a 119 and get A's in all STEM classes.
