For perspective, a 30 point difference separates average IQ from intellectual disability. I have more of a difference in my cognitive abilities as a single person, than your average Joe does from someone who has an intellectual disability. People don't see that.

Something I don't talk about much, because, tbh, I'm ashamed to some degree, and afraid ppl will bully me for it as they have in the past: I'm not only #autistic, but highly #gifted. They call ppl like me "twice gifted". Twice isolated would be more like it. I'm a National Merit Scholar. I missed 5 questions total (together worth 3 points) on my PSAT. I absorb information, especially about science and math, like a sponge. I have an IQ just shy of 140.
