This, along with your "low IQ" comment, makes me wonder whether you have been easily swayed in the past by mid- to high-IQ scam artists or ideologues pitching intricate schemes.
- distract8901 3y agoWhy are you so unwilling to accept the extensively documented phenomenon of an autistic person being more intelligent than average? Some autistic people are genuinely ahead of the curve. Some individuals develop extreme talent/intelligence in certain areas. There is no question of whether this happens or not, it's a demonstrable fact. Your quote illustrates something that self-aware and reasonable people do: recognize their limitations and yield to someone with more expertise. If you think that's somehow a bad thing, you should have a really long think about what that says about you.
