Never thought, that I would have to post this. While reading my autism medical documents, from when I was 6 yo (I'm now in my late teens), my father found some logic deficits mentioned. I never knew about it. I seem inteligent, barely do any work for school and still do great. I'm the best in class at maths and some otger subjects. I even solved this and got 110 (I know, online iq tests aren't reliable, but I think it would have diagnosed intelectual dissability properly). My only logic issues are sudokus (I did them when I was around 6, stopped and now I'm bad at them, practically learning again) and physics at school (not terrible, but below average).
Do I have ID or not, should I test my iq professionally and how does intelectual dissability even show?
And of course for the dramatic effect: "What the hell?"
Edit: I know this is poorly written, am to lazy to edit.
Another edit: Forgot to mention, I'm known to be smart in most groups, some exceptions think I'm stupid, but most of them aren't really academically sucessful.
I think I have a good IQ score (I was just tested incorectly), but I'm mostly scared, because I don't know what logic deficit even is.
Deficit of logic doesn't make any sense. It's a normative statement and the normalization of the human. It doesn't aline with the neurodiversity paradigm. It also doesn't take in account the environmental factor that influence your capacities in logic.
Well thanks. I don't perfectly understand what you mean by "enviromental factor", is it the education or something else?
An environmental factor is what have an influence on a human. For an easy example, the noise of a car is an environmental factor for noise hypersensitivity. Other example outside of Autism, pollution is an environmental factor for cancer.
For some autistics, being with friends is a factor to mask. Environmental factors influence your energy capacities, your behaviors, etc. this have an influence on your logic capacities. For example, an autistic has noise hypersensitivity. The noise in the classroom will have an influence on the cognitive capacities (like logic).
I just read this by Kieran Rose and it made me think about what you wrote:
So much of the autism narrative is a lack of reflective practice and critical thinking on the part of non-Autistic observers with all the power.
Well, it might be. I would be happier if I knew what was happening during testing, if I was even properly tested and what else happened then.
