Never thought, that I would have to post this. While reading my autism medical documents, from when I was 6 yo (I’m now in my late teens), my father found some logic deficits mentioned. I never knew about it. I seem inteligent, barely do any work for school and still do great. I’m the best in class at maths and some otger subjects. I even solved this and got 110 (I know, online iq tests aren’t reliable, but I think it would have diagnosed intelectual dissability properly). My only logic issues are sudokus (I did them when I was around 6, stopped and now I’m bad at them, practically learning again) and physics at school (not terrible, but below average).
Do I have ID or not, should I test my iq professionally and how does intelectual dissability even show?
And of course for the dramatic effect: “What the hell?”
Edit: I know this is poorly written, am to lazy to edit.
Another edit: Forgot to mention, I’m known to be smart in most groups, some exceptions think I’m stupid, but most of them aren’t really academically sucessful.
I tested as being above-normal on average,
even though I’m below-normal in both writing & arithmetic.
My average-score was above-normal ( since altered by massive concussions ) because what I was good-at I was really good-at, compared with normals.
Having an average that is far above normal, in academics, doesn’t mean that all one’s capabilities are above normal.
That is a significant difference between the idea, & the ideology, of the “academic superior” mind, vs the actuality of minds being made of SO many dimensions that deficits/defects are normal.
Read Thomas Armstrong’s book “Seven Kinds of Smart, revised edition” ( revised is 9 intelligences, but they kept the same title ), and see how social-intelligence was left out from IQ testing because it wasn’t a male intelligence ( implied by the quoted evidence ).
It’s a book that all parents & teachers, and learning-disabled people, ought read.
Please dig into it, even if it means a trip to your local library.

Wow, I will look into it. I’m not worried about my actual intelligence. I’m worried about another metric, that will make me discriminated in medical and educational settings.
