    Ignore the SD information. It would just require al lot of explanation. It simply means that autistics can be very smart or very dumb because the curve of their distribution is relatively ‘flat’ rather than bell shaped like normal people.

    @curtdoolittle But did you answer me asking you about “what spectrum are you talking about”?

    Why did you say “Autistic SD =23/25, Normies 15. Ashkenazi 14. Anglican 12”?

    Academic performance has far less to do with intelligence and far more to do with personality traits. High IQ, particularly on the spectrum, many take extra time to mature.

    Is it possible to have a high iq and be a C student or even a low iq A student?

    I feel like I know someone like the former. He’s very curious, but seems to have a very short attention span and prolly a lil lazy.

    Maybe he’s one of those “brilliant, but lazy” people? I don’t know

    IQ and autism

    For those who have never studied statistics, the non-autistic population in Western countries is said to have an average IQ of 100 and a standard deviation (SD) of 15. A standard deviation of 15 simply means that the standard amount by which most people deviate from the average is around 15 points, in other worlds, about two thirds of the non-autistic population have IQ’s from 85 to 115.

    As for the autistic population, a recent study found 16% of autistic spectrum children had IQ’s below 50, while 3% had IQ’s above 115.

    Assuming a normal distribution, an IQ of 116+ is 1.87 Standard Deviations (SD) above the autistic mean, and an IQ below 50 is 1 SD below the autistic mean. This suggests that autistic people have a mean IQ of 72 and an SD of 23 compared to the non-autistic population (mean 100, SD=15). In other words, while the average autistic person has a much lower IQ than the average neurotypical, the autistic population is much more cognitively variable. This resolves the paradox of why autistic people can simultaneously have a reputation for being both mentally disabled and brilliant scientists. Because, compared to neurotypicals, autistic people will be dramatically over-represented at both ends of the bell curve.

    Above IQ 100

    About 50% of neurotypicals have IQ’s above 100, compared to only 10% of autistic people.

    Above IQ 115

    About 14% of neurotypicals have IQ’s this high, compared to to only 3% of autistic people.

    Above IQ 130

    About 2% of neurotypicals score this high, compared to only 0.5% of autistic people

    Above IQ 145

    Only one in 924 neurotypicals score this high, compared to only one in 1,838 autistic people

    Above IQ 160

    Only about one in 42,000 neuotypicals scores this high, compared to one in 18,000 autistic people. At this level of giftedness, autistic people are actually OVER-REPRESENTED!!!!!!!!!!!

    Above IQ 175

    Only about one in five million neurotypicals score this high, compared to about one in 300,000 autistic people.

    Above IQ 190

    Only about one in 1.5 billion neurotypicals score this high, compared to about one in 14 million autistic people.

    The fact that autistic people are so incredibly variable in IQ confirms Pumpkin Person’s groundbreaking theory that autism is not actually one phenotype, but two phenotypes, that have been arbitrarily conflated by psychologists: Nerdiness (slow life history?) which causes high IQ, and executive dysfunction which causes low IQ.

    Analogously, schizophrenia is probably also two phenotypes: coolness (fast life history?), which causes low IQ, and executive dysfunction, which causes even lower IQ.

    (via @[100024818064292:2048:Rosenborg Predmetsky] and @[11019687:2048:Brandon Hayes])

    Trivers is among the most influential evolutionary theorists alive today.[12] Steven Pinker considers Trivers to be “one of the great thinkers in the history of Western thought”, who has:

    —…inspired an astonishing amount of research and commentary in psychology and biology—the fields of sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, Darwinian social science, and behavioral ecology are in large part attempt to test and flesh out Trivers’ ideas.

    It is no coincidence that E. O. Wilson’s Sociobiology and Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene were published in 1975 and 1976 respectively, just a few years after Trivers’ seminal papers.

    Both bestselling authors openly acknowledged that they were popularizing Trivers’ ideas and the research they spawned.

    Likewise for the much-talked-about books on evolutionary psychology in the 1990s—The Adapted Mind, The Red Queen, Born to Rebel, The Origins of Virtue, The Moral Animal, and my own How the Mind Works.

    Each of these books is based in large part on Trivers’ ideas and the explosion of research they inspired (involving dozens of animal species, mathematical and computer modeling, and human social and cognitive psychology.—

    JUSTIFICATION OF SELF DECEPTION

    Someone pointed out the other day that self deception can be advantageous from the standpoint of natural selection.

    Robert trivers has great work on this.

    When a feminist convinces herself that she is justified in acquiring a sugar daddy because patriarchy economically oppressed her, this is sexually antagonistic co-evolution.

    When a black person justifies blm activism despite blacks being much more a problem for whites than the other way around, this is group evolutionary strategy whose purpose is reciprocal altruism to maximize inclusive fitness for his kin group; I.e. group evolutionary strategy

    In Utero. Sex is determined at fertilization. Sexuality is determined in utero. Variation from heterosexuality is a birth defect. Greater variation is due to greater degrees of birth defect. Birth defects are preventable. Birth defects are ‘prohibitable’.

    Yes, traumas can affect one. Particularly females who are less hetero than males. But vulnerability to trauma is likewise a birth defect.

    Conversely, as we see in sub saharans, excessive testosterone in utero produces frequent hermaphroditic qualities in females. By the late pleistocene (the period of human development) we had all adapted to our regions. But even over the past 12k years we have adapted more.

    The primary means of adaptation has been developmental – endocrinological, with noetony, reverse neoteny, and gender dimorphism and reverse dimorphism the principle directions of evolutionary change.
