Holy autism Batman. What does a car parts manufacturer know about food tasting? He probably ate the same bologna every day and because of that, Western food was “bland”

Like most people on the alt-right, Kiwi Farms couldn’t tell the truth from a lie if they were ass-fucked by an encyclopedia.
We’re perpetually disadvantaged, yeah. But we’re also, simultaneously, perpetually advantaged. If the world were run by autistic people, allistic people would be the ones considered to have a mental illness, and specifically, that mental illness would be considered a relative of schizophrenia.
To radically oversimplify, schizophrenia is what happens when a person cannot tell that their beliefs bear no relationship to the evidence around them.
That’s what allistics are like from the perspective of us autistic people.

You guys grow up being able to “perceive” emotions in others. That means you’re mostly blind to the fact that you aren’t actually perceiving other peoples’ emotions. All you’re doing is perceiving patterns of behavior and thoughtlessly ruling out most of the possible explanations for that behavior.
Somehow, and we totally don’t get it, but somehow, you all still manage to mostly live in the same world as each other. But there are times when one of you “perceives” an emotion in someone else that simply isn’t there. And we all watch, dumbfounded, as you all remain completely convinced of these perceptions, even though there is no evidence whatsoever for them.

Social drama? Yeah, ninety nine times out of a hundred, that drama can just be avoided entirely by not assuming you know how the other person is feeling. It’s what I do, and I have no regrets. And yeah, I’m autistic, of course it’s what I do, I have no other choice; but I’m telling you, knowing what I know from my experience being autistic, if you “fixed” me tomorrow and gave me the ability to “perceive” other peoples’ emotions the way all you allists do, I would mostly ignore it, and continue living knowing that I don’t strictly know how people were feeling. Because I don’t have time for faulty perceptions that just create random shitty drama.
Is it a disadvantage to have a harder time guessing how people are feeling? Yes. It is. I’m not some apologist. We’re not übermenschen, I’m not an idiot, but there’s some good that comes along with that bad.

And there’s a second side of the story too; the same feature of our autistic brains that makes social context harder for us, also makes other kinds of thinking easier.
Basically, nobody is quite sure what autism actually is, biology-wise, brain-wise. But one of the major theories is that we don’t have as many connections between disparate areas of the brain, and our neurons focus more on local connections. The theory goes that that means that skills that require coordination between multiple brain regions, like social skills, are at a deficit, but skills that require only a single brain region, like paying attention to visual details or doing mathematical calculations, are enhanced.

In my experience? Yeah. We autistic people are generally better at math, and we pay attention to details way better than the rest of you. Again, we’re not übermenschen, I’m not an idiot, but there’s some good that comes along with that bad, yeah.

So how right is Kiwi Farms in their assessment of autistics as perpetually disadvantaged? Like most people on the alt-right, Kiwi Farms doesn’t have the brainpower to tell the difference between lies and the truth. They’re too allistic-schizoid to tell when specifically it is that their beliefs bear no connection to reality.

What I miss about Yahoo answers (and I've seen people claim Quora is Yahoo Answers for "smart" people) is that you expected 99.9% of the people there to be trolls. Meanwhile, Quora is filled with people who are just as bad as the Yahoo answers trolls, except they have supposed "qualifications" and think they know what they're talking about.


I think a lot of Quora users are secretly commies, either them or all the libtards on there.

Ironic how I've seen answers far less "controversial" being downvoted/flagged/removed but shit like that gets to stay.

The convoluted answers most people give there are really appalling to read. Sometimes, they're not even needed and unrelated that it derails to the answer. I think most people don't want to hear their monologues. With YA! answers closed, I think you'd be better off asking questions in the Q&A section here

What do y'all think of this? Can't tell if he is "autistic" if the message under his name clearly states that, maybe he is faking it:
