    I would say no. Lots of the super smart people become eccentric. I suspect any smarter and they’d just end up flat crazy. Dealing with being the only one in the room who understands what you’re saying can be lonely.

    I’m working with a group of people, some 10 years younger than me, who don’t really understand technology. It feels weird.

    When I had kids, autism was still for boys. I think I’m in a minority though because I wanted kids a lot. So I see them as independent extensions of myself. I didn’t get the socialization issues with them, and would make a point to bring at least one kid when they got older as my support person. They didn’t know this though.

    It was actually easier for me to be around other people when they were young because they gave me something to talk about.
