To answer the original question, no, absolutely not. &guy's people don't enjoy any inherent advantages over "normal" people.  Some are smart and have the ability to focus intently on highly specific tasks, but most of them have measurably poorer social skills and ability to multi-task opposite
folk of equal intelligence who aren't on the autistic spectrum.

That represents a general step BACK in adapting to modern society, which is the antithesis of evolution.  Evolution is all about better acclimating to your environment over time.  Some morons shit on Darwinism -- e.g., "how come if humans evolved from monkeys, we don't see monkeys turning in to men today?" -- but that's because they are morons :)  For one, chimps and humans shared a common ancestor; we didn't evolve from today's monkeys into men.  

Somewhere along the way, there were many divergent branches on that common ancestral tree and, given environmental circumstances, some species remained primitive because, as tree-dwellers, they had no impetus to change; their basic needs were met.  Food, water, reasonable protection from predators...they had a pretty good thing going with the way they lived.

Meanwhile, our offshoots of that common ancestor eventually were based on the ground.  This made them more vulnerable to all sorts of predatory species so, over the course of many, many millennia, they took baby steps in learning to fashion tools, which in turn gradually lead to the development of opposable thumbs to better use those tools.

You’ve been suckered into believing the Snowflake/ Liberal Brainwashing
Of Can't say that / can’t think that / sexist / racist / this ism & that ism
Load of Bollocks.

the only way to get on in life is by understanding peoples wants and needs, to do this you need to be able to read people, not only verbally but optically through body language.

👍🏻

Though many Blacks / Muslime’s and Self Hating Liberal Leftists are Constantly
Racist towards the white man & are revered by many.

If it’s good enough for them to be Racist - It’s Good Enough for Everyone.

Asperger syndrome, or Asperger’s, is a previously used diagnosis on the autism spectrum. In 2013, it became part of one umbrella diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5).

Autism is the reason I said diversity is shit - publicly, openly, under my real name - since 2007, when w8m8 woke me up. Though he himself could not use his real name.

I could because of autism.

I don't give a fuck about social status. I care about being factually correct. Which I am.

I was racist before it was cool.

High function autism.  Sorta like how there are many people who are anxious that still function at a high level.

Crippling but manageable

Some of the smartest people I have ever met had Asperger's. The way they look at everything is just different. Every situation they're faced with is evaluated from so many different perspectives. These are also the same people that generally excel in mathematics and science in ways that are often not comprehensible by the average person. One thing I fancy being good at is playing chess. As a young boy, I used to play with Rabbis and local folks in my community. I typically would crush most people pretty seamlessly, but every so often these players (usually from Russia) would play speed chess with me and blow me right out of the water. I befriended and to this day still talk to one of those guys because his analytical abilities are just so vast that it impresses me to no end. Today, he is a partner at one of the top 3 hedgefunds doing just that, analytical work, and he too has Asperger's.

When I attended both Columbia Univ + NYU, the smartest people in my Accounting & Finance classes were usually the ones that had Asperger's. It was only years after graduating and becoming closer with these people that I then realized how brilliant they were and came to know (by their own divulging) that they in fact had asperger's.

I remember that one of the smartest Medical Doctors I had met had asperger's. He was an Hematologist/Oncologist and the man was fucking brilliant. He had 3 board certifications and both an MD & PhD. On the flip side, I've also met some really stupid Medical Doctors - many of which studied in Foreign Medical Schools along the lines of Caribbean Medical Schools (St. Georges and the such) & Nigerian Med Schools, and should have never earned their clinical degree.

The one thing I will tell you is that the affect that most with Asperger's have is very different and can be off-putting to some. Something to keep in mind when dealing with people that have Asperger's in order to not feel as if they have an actual problem with you.

"Asperger's syndrome gained increased attention before being wrapped into the autism spectrum disorder. With more education and information available, doctors are able to diagnose this disorder in children as young as 18 months old. There is no blood test or medical imaging scan to diagnose the condition.

Children may appear to show signs of Asperger’s syndrome at an early age. Signs your child may have Asperger’s syndrome include:

* Obsessing over a single interest.
* Craving repetition and routine (and not responding well to change).
* Missing social cues in play and conversation.
* Not making eye contact with peers and adults.
8 Not understanding abstract thinking."

No. Being handicapped/mentally retarded is not the next level of human evolution.
This, unless human evolution is going over a cliff.

I dont see how a reduced ability to function socially is a next stage of anything, besides prolonged virginity/friendlessness

Leave Matt out of this.
