Most people with Asperger's have specialties where they excel. Understanding of language is not one of mine. I parse language in a black and white linear manner and often completely miss things.
I'm very good with creating and building things. Built my own PC, do plenty of PC mods, and have only gotten better to the point of boring myself with how easy hardware modding has become.
I get bored very easily. I probably have ADHD but it's never been officially diagnosed. If I am not actively being challenged or learning new things, I get bored and become manic. This is where my negative attention seeking behavior comes from, and I've made great strides in reducing it. I've heard that Kengle was also quite persistent with attention seeking which is what led to him being doxed.
Due to thyroid disease I have memory retention issues which led to being bullied a lot and seeming "stupid" or unintelligent to others.
You are right - I am smart, just in the typical "different" way many people on the autistic spectrum are. I know how to build and maintain many firearms. I can build an AK or MG42 from scratch if I have the tools. I have a Toyota CHR that was a salvage title and I completely rebuilt it (front was totaled).
I can go back and forth with people all day on forums, which is part of sating my boredom.
