I have autism as well and can create great catchy portions of songs in my mind (I have actually made an entire song in my head). I wonder if this comes from my autism.

Sadly "Superior" is a word seldom used with people that are autistic. The word is "disabled".

By the age of 14 I knew 23 languages, and mastered about 60 advanced fields.

Since I never learned how to play baseball I was "learning disabled"...

We need to push for more cognitive diversity. Not all humans need to THINK the same as everyone else. Is having one night stands, getting drunk, smoking, watching porn, and lotto tickets really the epitome of the Übermensch?

I wish I had a superior skill in something lol. I must be to autistic or not autistic enough to have not been graced with any savant skills.

I often fake stupid because being smart upsets people.

I'm good at learning languages and have a great memory. Not savant in anything though just good at a few certain things. Socially awkward and often been bullied, ignored, etc.

Despite this have done pretty well and it has been difficult as my family really pushed me to be something I'm not.
