Just wanna make a quick distinction between high and low functioning autism.
Given that I have high functioning autism, I can safely say they have increased book intelligence but decreased social skills.
Generally, yeah. I’ve seen some variances (I worked with autistic kids and teens for awhile). Regardless, autism is unique and everyone should do bit of research about behaviors, so that they are better equipped to understand...too many people become in unnecessarily angry or annoyed with people with autism, because you can’t always communicate with them in the same way you would with normative people.
