I don't know that I'm autistic, but I'm starting to think maybe I have ADHD that went undiagnosed when I was a kid.

I'd say many young boys just aren't meant to be caged up in a class room and behave like girls.

Some of us need to be outside doing things, or learning with our hands, learning in a less structured and stringent environment.

Here are two drugs often used for autism, according to google.
You don't need to be a medical wiz to figure out that giving these drugs to children, when their brain is at the critical development stage will have an effect on them.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't want any of that stuff in my system. Fortunately I don't have any kids either so I don't have to deal with that if doctors prescribe it for them.

I was diagnosed with Aspergers back when that was still diagnosed. Now I suppose I would be at a level 1 on the ASD spectrum.

As far as pluses advantages, this is not meant as bragging or anything but I have a measured IQ of 133. That was averaged over 3 tests so it's fairly reliable.

Now the downsides I have atrocious executive function. I am intelligent enough to learn most things and I am a fantastic problem solver, but I am chaotic and disorganized. Luckily my wife is the picture of focused efficiency and with her help I am well on my way to getting my doctorate in optometry. Which I am doing while work 50 plus hours a week while raising 2 kids and taking care of a house and my vehicles while averaging a 4.0 GPA.

Yet another fantastic drawback is I am horribly awkward and basically incapable of reading social ques.

Oh I didn't mention I have a son that is also autistic with a genius level IQ and at 7 can do algebra and is learning calculus. He is actually playing on his tablet working on solving basic diratives for fun, but wasn't potty trained until almost six years old.

Yes my wife is an angle and should be sanctified as soon as possible.

Amazing.

Amazing again!

He has a bright future ahead, supply him with any tech / tools he needs and keep him away from dopamine drains (TikTok / video games).
