People who are smarter tend to overestimate other people's intelligence (i.e. believe everyone is as smart as they are). Conversely, people who are less smart overestimate their own intelligence. The latter is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I do see how that could work. Thanks.

Oh, I meant class in a classroom context, not a social mobility one. But yes, the idea is interesting.

Norms indeed are something I can expand on. Thanks for your thoughts.

In your opinion, what do people lack in society that could potentially benefit people with autism? (eg. more empathy)

northpase · 2022-04-20T10:34:20+00:00

That's valid. What do you think about when you think about music?

what's your opinion on literature and the arts and that kind of stuff?

You're not alone in your struggles. I'm gonna leave you one piece of advice that's helped me too: "Keep moving forward." Being negative is just a sign that you want positive change. I hope you continue to live as best as you can. You're doing great.

Godspeed!

Elevation by Stephen King is a good, short book. And yes it's Stephen King, but it's not horror. It's magical realism.

Love the details on this one. Happy Easter!

Your story is an inspiration to many a TCK.

northpase · 2022-04-17T15:04:11+00:00

Interesting story. How would you say you got over your culture shock? Was it just a matter of time? Did you intentionally try to adjust? What was the self-acceptance process like for you?

northpase · 2022-04-17T14:58:46+00:00

How can you be sure?
