yes you did say he would say that he would score a 100% on the test, and then you went on to say that looking back you thought he was weird then, but now you think he is autistic. Your words, not mine.

I was only trying to prove a point on that is no set guidelines to what we think the “norm” is when I mentioned those 3 examples. Rap (most of of on here don’t really understand the meaning, but blacks do. Opera- many find this to be a only elitist fuction, it is not the norm for me. give me a fishing pole and some bait and I would be happy) I am trying to figure out what people feel are the “norm”. Don’t read into it so much.

And yes they do prescribe medication for autism, and I have already discussed this on a previous post...go search for it.

I did not say that “just” because he scored well on tests made him autistic.
I described him as having a combination of other signs as well.

One of the most common red flags with autistic children is their inability to maintain eye contact.
Many of them are incapable of carrying on a social conversations - some not speaking at all.

These are characteristics I also noticed with this person - not just the fact he received a high test grade.

You are cherry picking a portion of my statement and twisting it into something I didn’t intend to say.
