I actually had this thought about what if there are people who act super NT on the outside, but on the inside they are nerdy and just afraid to show anyone?

| Eugenic abortion is... ugh. It gives me the creeps. I don't care if you're pro-choice or pro-life; the decision that a life isn't worth living when you have a disability, when it would be worth living if you didn't, is just eugenics plain and simple, based on prejudice and bad science. To be frank,... |

Plotting a novel isn't about having a high IQ, it's about being a creative person.
I'm am gifted, meaning I have an IQ around or above 130, and it's brought me nothing but misery.

I would be default stick with ASD. |

She's just saying that you're doing fairly well, that you're "mild" and coping with life better then a Low Functioning Autistic, that you can handle stuff alone, even if you need a little help or guides.
I think that's the gist. |

There's no option for just "Yes"?
No opinon, I haven't been seriously wronged by any single person enough times to know for sure what I'm like.
