"What really makes me uncomfortable is when Aspie campaigners couch that ‘leave us alone’ argument in the myth that all AS people are super intelligent mathematician science savants and some sort of master race. That makes me feel, as an Aspie who doesn’t have any of that, I’m a double fail — I fail at being normal, and also fail at being AS."

Yes! This! Now, I do, do maths reasonably well, when I put my mind to it, but there is no special interest there at all. When I tell people I’m an Aspie, they so often seem to think that means that I’m good with numbers or have the first couple of hundred decimals of pi memorized. And like…. no? :-(

I, meanwhile, am terrible at math. So, yeah, triple this.
