apologize, just went back and re-read all the comments.
Calizepher, I mean no disrespect to you or bettwice33. I am not knowlegable about the autism community at all.
The little I do know is that a person can fall anywhere on the spectrum and autistic people can also fall on any range in terms of IQ.
I know a little girl with an immeasurable IQ whose mother is convinced she is on the spectrum. She has had OT and other therapies since birth, basically. She has other issues as well. Mother reports that she had many autistic behaviors that had subsided with extensive therapy. I absolutely believe her high IQ has contributed to her being so high functioning. To see her you would never imagine that at any time anyone would have considered her to be on the spectrum at all.
This is anecdotal, but true. I'm just wondering if the impossible sounding story of Amanda Baggs could be possible, given my limited experience with another "autistic" child.
Admittedly, I don't know much.
Incog
