This is why I don't accept myself as a part of a "community." Gotta love when the "autistic community" claim so many historical figures as autistic, tens, hundreds, thousands of years before the diagnosis, with the only "autistic" traits being "genius and socially awkward".

He doesn’t even understand what words mean

Go back to the dart board

how many autistic people are genius in the first place lmao

About the same percentage as non-autistic people, probably.

I did pick a new dartboard out of a dumpster a few weeks ago, just need some darts for it

pick up

>dumpster diving

jesus im jewish and i dont even do that

idk, being autistic seems like it would hinder your ability to become a genius

i firmly believe autism doesn't actually mean anything and it's just a thing people came up with to categorize uncategorizable people

Like, no one here genuinely cares about Mint fisting a pig on that farm, falling through the ice, or losing a finger playing darts

it's funny to talk about

everyone's got a bit of "autism" by their standards of what autism is

but idk if anyone really cares how you live your life

I care about it, mint you are not allowed to die

it's meaningless

stop trying to die

I don’t know which of those is true or not

First phijkchu death is gonna be awkward as fuck

yeah I just live my life

if we find out anyways

we better

realistically, some of the people who go forever inactive might be dead

No one will find out about you

y'all all better be putting something in your will to let us know

I’ll make sure of it

everyone innactive was a covid death

I told my university friend to join this server and tell you guys if I ever die

your parents will put your real name on the tombstone

someone call Biden and let him know

I'm actually diagnosed as autistic, and I don't claim to be a genius in the slightest, but learning some things is way easier than learning other things, and it can be very easy to become obsessed with one subject at a time, that can last for months or longer for me, but for some autistic people it can be for years or for a lifetime, so if it's something they can learn about easily and become obsessive about it for very long periods of time, they could very well end up well-educated in one area.

Maybe the issue I have with that is

Really you’re autistic damn that’s crazy I couldn’t tell

Ahem

There is a difference between being knowledgable

and being a genius

I can agree that autistic people can learn a lot of things

I don't think that implies being a genius

everyone's got a different definition of being "smart"

There’s an archetype of autistic geniuses

But “autism” covers a very wide range of conditions

That's true, but if something comes very natural to you, and you become extremely obsessive about it, you can end up learning way more than one normally would about something

like, I know someone who had a kid who couldn't talk, and was a full-on vegetable

I think the closest to the autistic genius I can think

is those weird mathmaticians

who live as hermits

like the guy who solved that millenium problem, then quit academia to go live with his mother

Another reason I can't stand the "autistic community," they basically ignore anyone who's "low-functioning," even saying "functioning" labels are "ableist"

Autism isn’t the next stage in evolution, if anything, it’s a genetic dead-end

to me, that's what "autism" is arguing over people being high-functioning or savants or whatever is within a standard deviation of the median anyway

Like, you're socially awkward but can recite pi to 2600 places right out of your head? Great, what does that have to do with the 30 year old woman that can't communicate almost at all, kicks holes in the wall for no reason, and still wears a diaper because she can't understand how to use a toilet?

yeah

I think we all know labels are imperfect

and they're just easy

Niggas really came up wit 50,000 words to describe "fatherlessness"

I can do the first 20 digits

ope

I can do like 5 or 6

it really doesn't matter

it is even more meaningless than most knowledge

see I made like an elaborate social puzzle, gave a bunch of people different clues that they are only allowed to tell others of once I die

I should update it though, it's been a few years

we should all set up a deadmans switch of sorts

if you do not press it every 6 months, it will post that we are dead and full dox ourselves to the server

exactly that

discord deadmans switch when

new nitro feature

or would that promote suicide

i don't need anything like that because i will literally never die

that's my hopeful goal

neither will rusp

he is always 7 years away from death after all

rusp and i are perfect specimens

I have already promised too many people that I will outlive them

Pika, I'm going to upload you to the cloud when you die

I am fine with this

I prefer senators who don't die

Hope you didn't piss off the meta
