Wrong. Intelligent people are simply that. Autism is a severely crippling condition that impacts the patients' life as well as their families, and it can affect all sort of people. It's a cherished media myth that very intelligent people must be autistic, or maladjusted, or absent-minded or even simply awkward. It's not the case, very intelligent people are easygoing, genial, very good company. Autism as a symptom of "superiority" or even "the next step of evolution" is nothing more than a nutty fantasy cultivated by desperate parents who have to cope with a defective child. It's just "indigo children", there is no such a thing. More power to anyone who despite a crippling and debilitating condition can still function, but it is a handicap and that is all there is to it. That said, you nerds are not autistic or assburgers, you're simply assholes and we punish you for existing.
