Again you are correct,people with autism are usually quite adept at problem solving,their reaction time is slightly slower,but their ability to come to a solution is phenomenal.

TH E difference ther is that theproblem is nottreated as one problem. we actualy approach itfrom every posible piont perspective and ausually discover new ways to solve old problems too.
I really specialix\zes in taking old and accepted information and question them and usually solve them commong up with drastically different results.

Not necessarily,not all autistic people have savant syndrome,and vice versa.

They ted to be able to be fantastic one one and way beyond theabillities of thso who uses all or more of their brains.
savants are examples. of this.

Why do you continue to take the test,are you hoping to improve your score.

Re: What makes you intelligent?

Can't tell you how many high IQ people I used to be around. Not anymore. Why? Because once you announce your IQ, my eyes glaze over and I excuse myself from your presence. I cannot think of an occasion when it is necessary to announce your IQ even tell me you belong to rarified-air organization. Except maybe before a judge to prove your case in court.

Likewise, I usually take the tests at my wife's insistence - usually because she would score a little higher than I.
