[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm asking because our 3yo DS was just diagnosed with autism. While part of me is worried that he won't fit in socially when he goes to school, another part of me is relieved that he will undoubtedly excel effortlessly, as autism tends to come with academic giftedness. He'll probably graduate high school in the top 1% of his class and go to a T20 college. I know I can't change the fact that he has autism, but I still can't help wondering if his academic and financial success will make his social challenges worth-it.[/quote]
This is an obvious troll.

But for anyone that may read this in the future or actually looking for info: no. My son has an extremely high iq and will likely never live independently and I bet that most people who meet him would be shocked he has such a high iq. I had an uncle who was in a terrible accident in childhood that resulted in oxygen deprivation to his brain and moderate cognitive disability and he probably could have lived independently more easily than my son can.

Plus with AI the future is jobs that require social intelligence. [/quote]
