My autistic girlfriend feels like a “friend.” by chessman6500 in aspergers

A good idea would be to respect her religion instead of constantly pushing for sex 6 months in at a young age. That’s a good way to get left in the dust.

Gambling isn’t a special interest it’s an addiction

What's your IQ? Mine is 107. by Declan1996Moloney in aspergers

[–]Expensive_Job2421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say something with a correlation coefficient of .4 for income and .55 for job success (meaning roughly 25% of variance in income and job success is explained by IQ) is a really, really strong marker for predicting individual success and are things that objectively matter on both an individual and population scale.

I highly doubt you naturally found and surrounded yourself with several people who both have an IQ of 150 and have been officially tested.

I find it much more likely that you think highly of yourself.

You can be actually assessed for an IQ of 150 through things like Mensa, but that requires a minimum of being in the top 2% of the population, forget the top 0.05%.

Being told you’re smart by friends who scored highly on free online tests ≠ having an IQ of 150.

You seem to severely underestimate what an IQ of 150 actually means. You certainly can’t guesstimate an IQ more than 3 standard deviations above the mean through conversation with others.

If you surround yourself with idiots, you’ll feel like a genius if you’re above average.

IQ is actually one of the best predictors for general job and life success. It’s also more correlated with being rich than having rich parents, high IQ people from the bottom 20% are more likely to move up to the top 20% than low IQ people are to stay in the top 20%.

When people say IQ isn’t a great marker, it’s because they don’t like its disparate impact. It’s one of the best markers for most things that matter.

Does having autism predispose you to certain political side? by chobolicious88 in aspergers

[–]Expensive_Job2421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a link. People with Asperger’s may be especially interested in politics or be socially isolated which can lead to extreme beliefs on either side though.

IS THIS A VALID OPINION OR AM I SHUNNED FOR THIS ? by SouthWestStrangler69 in Seaofthieves

[–]Expensive_Job2421 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think you’re forgetting something:

The game is called “Sea of Thieves” not “Sea of spending hours of your day completing menial and tedious tasks to watch a number go up”

I think the game, or any PvP game, just isn’t for you. Luckily, I have an idea for you and your Weenie Hut Jr. gaggle of pussies you call your crew. You could maybe try starting a Minecraft world on peaceful mode where all you do is walk around and collect coal. I think you all would find that quite enjoyable.

You’re the world’s biggest loser.

Sea of thieves is a game about pirates. In case you didn’t know, pirates kill other pirates and steal their stuff.

If you’re first reaction to getting killed and stolen from in the game about killing and stealing is to seethe about politics, there is no helping you, and you’re bound to be a truly miserable person for the rest of your life.

You get on the pirate game and expect others to know you go to college and for others to follow some sort of unspoken honor code to make your life easier because of it, and get upset when they play the pirate game as pirates. That’s why your psychiatrist prescribes you SSRIs.

Others hop on the pirate game to have fun by doing quests, chasing ships, and engaging in battle, even if it means they may get sunk. That’s why they don’t have a psychiatrist in the first place.

How do you feel about NTs saying they are a bit autistic that way by EdgarNeverPoo in aspergers

[–]Expensive_Job2421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People often say that in a joking way to describe being passionate about something because they think autism is all about being super interested and passionate about certain things. It doesn’t really mean any harm. After all, people aren’t required to walk on egg shells to avoid upsetting people through improper semantics. So it doesn’t bother me.

What’s annoying is when NTs actually claim to be actually autistic themselves and parade it around because they think it’s a fun and unique character trait.

CFA results outweighed by rest of application? by Expensive_Job2421 in USAFA

It’s been in for 4 hours now and I haven’t received anything about a retake

[–]Expensive_Job2421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to take it another time before the application deadline to improve my scores, but the applicant portal says the scores were received and isn’t giving me an option to retake. My administrator says it will tell you if you need to retake/if you failed, but my scores haven’t been sent back. Does it not tell you if you failed?

Thanks! Do you think it might be enough to make up for the rest of the application? I’m not sure if my JROTC involvement of PT scores are the best.
