Being on the autism spectrum doesn’t mean you’re not intelligent. Some autistic people (like me) are very intelligent but can be socially clueless. I always hated being told I wasn’t working up to my potential.

I think it’s great Thunberg has done so much despite the autism. I’d note that she wasn’t diagnosed until a couple of years ago, which is another data point on how autism manifests differently in girls than in boys and is diagnosed much later than boys.

And isn’t it spelled “Asberger’s”?
