Aren't some autism extreemly intelligent?? Especially with numbers and music??

Not intelligent. As I understand it, some of them have incredibly good memories for certain things, so an autistic person with apparently incredible maths skills probably just remembers things like the result of 1549+1437 naturally, so are able to rattle that off once they've seen it once.

I'm probably wrong.

a *very* common symptom of autism is that you cant stand disorder, and strive to achieve it... such as putting some wooden blocks in a row according to colour, that kind of thing. at the same time, some people could have really amazing skills, like hearing a piano piece for the first time, then proceeding to transcribe the score without ever seeing or hearing it before then.

:o

I think most humans brains develop around literary things [ie, reading, writing-- not suprising beign that the rate of literary subjects compared to numerical subjects in most schools is like 4 to 1]...while autistics humans minds develop around numerical things [ie, math, numbers, ect-- somewhat like computers]. That's probly incorrect, but my theory anyway. (^_^)

But, I think autistic humans are extreemly good at gambling [They can easily count the cards and determine statistics], music [Music is mathematics/numbers], memory, mathematics, ect.

My brain developed as far as possible around mathematics (of course I am perfectly literate!), I just prefer using my mathematics and logical capabilities rather than my communication ones.

Is there any reason why this cause is close to your heart CodeRed?

Um, yeah, I was wondering why CodeRed, normally a rather critical persona, has brought this matter to our attention.

No, I know nothing about it, but a person I know from another forum has a son who is autistic and she asked for donations, so I decided to sponser her (using money obtained by pirating games). So, instead of using that money to buy drugs that fund terrorism, I thought I'd use it for some good. I am trying to balance the stealing with a little giving

Robin Hood!

This forum is a form of communication.

Don't underestimate the importance of your communication skills. Learn to use them effectively while you're still young. It's a lot harder to develop them when your an adult, and you'll need them when hunting for your dream job (unless your dream job involves washing dishes).

Believe me, I can use them, I've achieved a supposedly "unachievable" 50/50 in my GCSE English Oral (Most teachers refuse to give you full marks in principle). I'm not saying I can't communicate, what I am saying is that I find logic, programming and mathematics much easier and way more interresting.
