it’s a rather complicated question because individuals with autism tend to be neurologically diverse. I find that many people will occasionally put autistic individuals into one group which isn’t accurate. People need to grasp the fact that it’s a spectrum disorder so people with autism can be very intelligent. This isn’t stating that every single person with this disorder is capable of intellectual greatness because it’s diverse. In fact, it is believed that Elbert Einstein could’ve had this disorder because of the way he behaved. Traits like having poor communication skills, bad anxiety, anti social behavior, and having intense interest in a subject are common amongst people within this spectrum.

∙ 11y agoVery smart, but people sometimes neglect to see it. Since Aspies are usually overwhelmed, and awkward in social settings, reading emotions, and sometimes have a hard time with communication, they might get ridiculed and called dumb, but really, that isn't so. Many people who aren't aware that someone has aspergers, sadly, one of their first thoughts would probably be that they're very slow/stupid. Understand that they're really very gifted people.
