autistic people are usually renowned for being very visual. but perhaps not in easily categorized ways. we have great gaps between abilities at times. there are many different types of learning ability and disability--the general public just sees it in a very black and white way, when the mind is far more complicated. many people have some degree of learning disability but just don't see it that way--it doesn't seem to matter. autistic people/people with asperger's vary greatly in their abilities and often learning difficuties. it comes out as glaring because of the extremes--so high in one area, low in another--high can be anything from engineering to poetry, often low in social learning and some other aspect of knowledge that others take for granted, like housework organization. but some of us adapt amazingly well, and learn how to act social so well, our act is better than a normal person's behavior. but that can be very tiring.
