The Relationship of Genius and Autism, Why Autism Patients Usually Genius?
Why People Who Genius Identify With Autism Patients?
Steemers, You may be one of the many people who believe that a person with autism usually has a brain of genius, because they are usually clever counting, think logically or can create a beautiful work of art. Like prominent figures, call it Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton and Mozart.
However, do you know if all three have one thing in common? that is equally suffering from autism. and from many other examples, the community finally built a conclusion that an autism is usually a genius. because, people with autism are generally intelligent and very talented in a particular field.
What is the difference between a brain with autism and a normal person?
Autism is a spectrum that describes different types of disorders in brain development. because of its vast scope, every person with autism will show different symptoms.
However, in most cases, the common symptoms that can be observed are their difficulty in communicating, interacting socially, expressing emotions and feelings, and understanding the circumstances surrounding the environment. usually symptoms of autism have emerged since childhood and until now there is no drug that can cure autism completely.
The brain of a person with autism has a disorder in the frontal lobes (the front of the brain) and posterior (the back of the brain). should these two parts of the brain work in harmony. however, in people's brains with autism, there is a connection problem in certain parts so the brain can not work synchronously.
The mindset of people with autism
Because of connection problems in parts of the brain, people with autism certainly have a way of thinking and processing unique information. their memory is generally very good and clear. they can remember an information or event with great detail. however, they find it difficult to connect the memory with certain emotions such as sadness, joy or anger.
Emotions, feelings, behaviors and personalities are governed by the frontal lobes of the brain. and if this part is disturbed, of course its function will also be reduced. that's why people with autism will have trouble understanding and controlling their own emotions, feelings, behaviors and personalities and others.
This is what causes autism people hard to interact and build strong relationships with others. while to read patterns, to arithmetic, and to draw logical conclusions, those within the autism spectrum are usually far more adept than the average person. not a few children with autism have read well at the age of 3 years. they are also able to absorb a lot of vocabulary and do math problems for elementary school students.
Why autism is usually smart?
Perhaps you will wonder, what causes people with autism to have intelligence and expertise in a particular field? so far studies have been conducted by experts to find out if they (the people with autism) are given the opportunity to accentuate their potential. whether a person with autism is sure to be a genius?
The researchers also agreed that the following factors could be the reason why many people with autism have extraordinary levels of intelligence.
1. Very high concentration.
Those in the autism spectrum are able to maintain a high focus and conspiracy against one particular thing. however, they are sometimes difficult to share concentrations for many things at once. because, the amount of attention devoted to one particular thing, people with autism usually can master the new material that he learned quickly.
2. Sharp memory.
People with autism are usually smart because they can easily remember the things they meet.
3. Pay attention to every detail.
One of the reasons that those with autism have a sharp memory is the attention to detail. according to them, no detail is too small to be unobserved. that's why when people with autism are confronted with a problem, they can quickly locate the root of the problem and find a solution.
4. Rely more on logic than emotion.
A recent study conducted by King's College in England found that people who are in the autism spectrum tend to rely more on logic than emotions when making decisions.
Indeed, at certain moments, the ability to make an objective decision is very important. rather than relying on emotions, people with autism prefer to consider the logical and objective reasons for making important decisions.
Well, that's a little discussion about the relationship of genius and autism. hopefully this article can add a little of our knowledge about the potential of an autism. I look forward to the criticism, feedback and suggestions of my Steemian friends, so that my writing can be better in the future and easier to understand. I apologize if there is a vocabulary error in my article. because, I'm still in the learning phase in writing an article that is interesting to read and useful and also easy to understand by everyone [source].

Great post but from the title it seemed like you were gonna make a counter argument. I still learned from this post but it was a suprise that you stayed on the possitive argument. Though i dont know any counter arguments. But was expecting to hear some by the title.
In fact, I also thought to pour out some opposing arguments. but in the end I did not do that. because, I think at least people will be more able to respect for autism sufferers.
however, thanks for the input. it really helps me to make a better article in the future.
Thank you for sharing such important information about the geniuses around us. I love to share with autistic people. I invite you to visit my blog. https://steemit.com/nature/@sandrag89/i-m-life
