It seems a lot of autistics have the linguistic intelligence, as I often see a lot of 'big words' used on the forums that I often have to find myself googling to see what the words mean. I know my posts are articulate enough but I still feel I use too many simple words, which is why I usually lose so many political arguments. It seems people on internet forums, especially autistic people, get more influenced into seeing from another's perspective if they use big words. It's just a pattern I have noticed in all my 14 years of being a member on autism sites (not just this one).
Also it seems the logical intelligence is common for autistics too, which is the stereotyped one for autism. I lack this, although I am good at spelling and punctuation and all that but not math, science or technology.
The naturalist intelligence seems to be common here too. I feel overwhelming empathy for animals and I support animal rights, but I don't think I have the naturalist intelligence. In fact I'm quite scared of being in peaceful nature places alone because in the city where I live usually the weirdos lurk about in quiet nature places and mug, rape or even murder people. Yes, some of the most beautiful places in this city became crime scenes before, in broad daylight. The abuser even got away with it a few times because he was able to abuse without witnesses then run off. He got caught in the end, when he was lurking behind a bush waiting for his next victim.
I think I'm more intelligent in the inter and intrapersonal areas, although being on the spectrum means I'm supposed to suck at that. I can identify my own emotions very easily but I think my interpersonal intelligence is greater than my intrapersonal intelligence, because I do worry way too much to the point where what I'm worrying about is ridiculous, even laughable. Like that time when I posted here worrying about ordering a personalised balloon for my dad's birthday with the logo of his favourite football team on it and worrying that I might get in trouble for copyright infringement. The reason why I worried about that was because I lacked the factual intelligence about what happens in that sort of situation and I couldn't find any useful answers on Google about it, and nobody I asked offline seemed to know. So yes, I sometimes worry because of not knowing the facts. Once I know the facts then the anxiety eases.
I seem to be good at common sense (if it's not too factual) and understanding other people and their intentions and emotions. Well, most of the time. When I do fail at this, I get frustrated and even panicky because I feel like I have denied my own positive self-belief, and it causes me to beat myself up, like ''OMG I have offended somebody, OMG I'm a really bad person, I thought I was better than that, what do I do? What if they won't forgive me? I'll become a pariah and get shamed and named'' (which did happen on another site). But, back to facts as I mentioned already, if I don't know the facts then I might say something that I didn't know could be offensive if it wasn't offensive before (like a modern PC culture thing). Like last year when I didn't know how much of a big deal this transgender thing was to people, I literally did not know, and I had never heard of the term 'transphobic'. So when I had my butt kicked by the mods on another site for something I posted that I wasn't expecting to be wrong, I was confused. Because it was all new to me. So I wasn't to know, as I had never met anyone with gender issues before and I just thought everyone were either physically a man or a woman. I've never said anything nasty about it, as I know that would hurt people, but just merely expressing my take on it was wrong, which I learnt the extremely hard way and got my reputation ruined because of it. I have learnt my lesson not to say anything about it on internet forums any more, for the sake of my reputation.
Often there is a difference between innocent ignorance and deliberate abuse. But it would be nice if people who are ignorant to gender dysphoria weren't treated like they are awful criminals or something.
