Autistic people have always been short-changed
when it comes to accurately assessing their "intelligence" on the standard, typical IQ test. The scientific, cultural and artistic contributions from those
with autistic minds throughout history are amongst the most profoundly brilliant, insightful and
creative works ever produced by humankind. It is more than
time we acknowledge and accept this fact and stop trying to force
beautiful square pegs into round holes when, in reality, there are no
holes.
IQ is nothing but another inconsequential number in a life burdened by the weight of
inconsequential numbers.
