KayRed (08/17/2012) [-] Valve is that autistic kid you went to school with that can draw a picture of anything in intricate detail after looking at it for a few seconds, can remember every single detail of everything that ever happened to him, and can play beautiful music by heart, but can't do basic math.

paradoxfag (08/18/2012) [-] Nope. That's having a photographic memory. Autistics are no more likely to have a photographic memory than neurotypicals. It's a stereotype.
Also, autistics excel above all else, at basic math! I should know, I have autism :P

I'm going to assume VERY high-functioning, most likely Asperger's.
Also, the idea that all autistic kids are somehow savants is kind of insulting. The thing that outlines autism is difficulty socially and with communication. There are a few other things, like stereotypic behavior (which, believe me, is a major pain in the ass), but "good at math" is in no way a sign or symptom of autism.
DSM IV 299.00

paradoxfag (08/18/2012) [-] Okay, i'm referring directly to Aspergers in terms of the natural mathematical ability.
However anonymous, I do beg to differ. In my studies, and from the analysis i've done of my personal friends who have Aspergers, more than half (at least) of them have an exceptionally impressive basic mathematical ability. And by exceptional, I mean in the top 1/10 or 1/5 of people. This, I personally believe to be, is a symptom.
I will however admit that my knowledge of autism is not nearly as extensive as that of Aspergers syndrome, so I am only confident in my knowledge regarding Aspergers and not the other strains of autism.

fuzzyballs (08/19/2012) [-] that's no way to defend your logic
maybe it's kinda pathetic for you that most of your "friends" have asperger, that even people like me, who according to you, have no social skills at all, are the only ones who want to even talk to you
you're so full of shit it's not even funny, I say phooey! phooey on you!

Firstly, anecdotal evidence is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be valid. You're ignoring other factors. The kids you find are the incredibly high-functioning kids. The non-high-functioning kids are obviously not going to be in higher level classes. You're looking at kids you know in high level classes and assuming that they are there because of Asperger's, not looking at kids with Aspergers and finding where they are in their studies/abilities.

"This article reviews studies investigating cognitive ability and academic achievement of students with Asperger syndrome (AS) and high-functioning autism (HFA). Particular emphasis is placed on the mathematical ability of people with AS/HFA. A preliminary analysis of empirical data is presented. Findings indicate that: (1) the majority of individuals with AS/HFA have average mathematical ability; (2) the majority of individuals with AS/HFA have a significant but clinically modest math weakness; (3) some individuals with AS/HFA have mathematical giftedness."

paradoxfag (08/19/2012) [-] Well, honestly speaking, it's valid enough for me in most circumstances. Well, I'm actually not in any "high level" class. I've only gone to community schools with classes all on the same level. Also, that was a very out of place assumption to make.
I know 5 people, personally, with aspergers, and these are the people I'm referring to (myself included) when I talk of what I find prevalent in the syndrome.
Well, that's good to know then, thank you for imparting that information.

jaggedherp (08/18/2012) [-] Counting to hats is valves version of counting to potato. Everytime they talk about releasing Ep3, they count to hats instead and release new hats for TF2. Notice the amount of hats in tf2. Look how close we were all those times.
