I Am An Atheist

So from what I've found, people who are autistic are more likely to be atheists.

I was actually diagnosed with Aspergers 3 years ago when I was 15, and at the time, I was only just beginning to question religion.

The doctor who diagnosed me stated to my parents that my IQ is above average intelligence.

Does this make sense considering that atheists also tend to rank higher in intelligence overall?

I also have Asperger's and I have received the same statement: that my IQ was above average.

People that are ignorant of what Asperger's is (eg. people that say it's a metal disorder and/or a learning disability) try to act superior upon finding out I have Asperger's. Then I simply cite the number of times they tried to get me to help them with academic problems because they know that I know what they don't know and learning has always been easy (school for me was WAY to easy).

The only subject in school I can say I struggled in was math. I was just never good at math.

I hated math.... one thing that always confused me though was how I scored higher on the pre-cal/trig portion of the ACT(a class I never took) than I did on the Geometry portion(a class I was taking at that time)...go figure

Honestly anyone who tries to claim intellectual superiority over someone with asbergers is a fucking idiot with a few disorders of their own, namely the delusional belief in their own intelligence.

I was never fond of math. It was a weaker subject of mine, which is weird because I'm great at applying the same math to scientific equations. Is that weird? I think it's weird.

Though, if all I needed to do was pass a test, I could easily learn an entire chapter's worth of information (which is a lot in calculus) and get a B. Quickly absorbing information is a breeze.
