is it possible that we're all just really smart ppl, and thats another reason we have SA. I mean we can notice right away when a person doesnt like us, or if hes making bad faces at u and stuff like that, we can notice the slightest things. Do u guys think that we're very clever, and we notice things that others wouldnt, ???????????

i don't feel like we have the right to assume what other people think and i believe most of the time we are wrong. i just think we tend to be overly judgemental for the sake of our own security.

now, i'm sure all of us are geniuses Wink Very Happy ....




but no more genius than the average person

Definitely not me.

I think part of my problem is misinterpreting. Any criticism or correction feels like an attack to me even though when I think about it rationally I realise that it is not intended in this way.

I also don't have confidence in my ability to know when people wish I would shut up and go away compared to when they like me and want to be my friend, or when they are laughing at me and think I'm a fool. I used to get this wrong as a child (and it caused me some trouble) and although I am much better now, I still lack confidence.

I know I'm intelligent academically, and I can be quite perceptive about people I know well. But I'm not intelligent at reading people. I think I'm probably below average.

But that's just me.

I 've always thought that we were extra clever aswell. I hope it is true but I don't think so. I've been able to read people very well on first glance but maybe it is because our brains developed slightly differently growing up due to sp. And now we seem to have new powers, but we give up alot of things as well don't we??

I'm very intelligent in every way except socially. I'm a social retard.

No, I don't believe that. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.
