Autism: possible maturity "advantages"?

Recently, in both real life and heck, even here in offtopic, i have seen something interesting and different. Ive seen alot of people who openly admitted to have autism, but here is the catch: all of them, as i have seen/noticed, were way more mature than average for their age. Some of the things autism does to you, it makes you think different, see the world different, hear it different etc. But does this include maturity? Or even iq? I have aspergers (is that how you write it?) and i know for a fact that im way more mature than what other teens around me are. Including my iq aswell, but i dont know why aspergers would affect your iq... As stated above, people that ive met/talked to that have either aspergers or autism, were much more mature than normal. I would also love getting replies about this topic from people who know what autism and/or aspergers is by definition. Edit: changed title due to a bit confusion of what i mean.

    [u]/!\[/u] Spoilers contain a stupendous amount of text. Open to read. Close once finished so you can [i]'keep calm and scroll on'[/i]. [spoiler] [b]Introduction.[/b] 'Autism' is a peculiar thing, for it's effects are rather vague, beneficial (with some minute drawbacks), or even detrimental to one's existence. People who do not comprehend are often the ones who speak loudest, and are those who didn't listen all the way back in education. It's like the 'yin-yang' symbol. [b] Giant wall of text too big not to be kept in spoilers.[/b] The instance I'm burdened with has the following traits you may've noticed me with, if ever: -A logic so logical that it is virtually undeniable, in most cases. -Failure to detect sarcasm (common trait I guess?). -The disposition of standing with those who are not corrupt, but are in power, such as teaching staff. -Superior awareness of capabilities (uncertain). Though that's not everything. Looking back, throughout these recent years, technology had become a norm; during my earlier points in time, the PS1/2, N64, and a low end PC with no Internet(?) was my digital entertainment, primarily playing games such as WipEout, Quake, and other things, often without even progressing. Mobile phones weren't smaller laptops during that time. Look at the world around you; virtually everyone is on their phone, oblivious to the world around them, even in their vehicles (unacceptable when driving, can be fined)! They will inevitably get themselves killed by an accident or something if they continue such a trend. I just don't understand why people want computers in their phones when all they want to do is alert their friend who's right beside them (or at their home) that they want to do something (inevitably, the 'right beside them' part might become real, which signals the death of 'socializing') at that moment. I remember distinctly a news article, but I forgot the source, that detailed a prisoner being released. The prisoner was confused and could not make sense of everyone walking with their faces glued to little screens, but that's not the topic. In short - wait, it isn't really a summary of everything, but still - : -Autism is very varied and does not always mean a good thing. -Autism as a term is used to bully people, apparently? -Some who have autism are generally better-behaved and refrain from doing the following, but maybe not all, of the things: Drugs. Alcohol. Fizzy drinks. Sweets. Using the phone all the time. Swearing. Misspelling. ...Although personally I 'vowed', as it were, not to do the aforementioned, but unfortunately with the social bias, it is -MANDATORY- to have a phone on your person. Although I must say, social interactions are not always preferred, but if they play the games I do or like them, then I could talk. Otherwise, I find difficulty in looking for a subject that is sensible for discussion other than ' "Politics, how tiresome." - Prophet of Truth, Halo 2' which, from my perspective, is inhabited by children in the grown-up flesh. I would also like to inform that earlier in my existence, I wasn't 'complete', or 'whole' in the mental department. It's not for discussion though. I know none of you. One thing about myself is that I can be trusted, and I mostly do what is asked of me (if it is positive) with virtually no expense of the one who asked. Due to my unique perception, I have comprehended the following things: -Hormones, specifically male ones, but that's because I am male myself. Classified details. -The Social Wall between the genders/sexes of male and female (it's this invisible barrier that stops you two from talking, like it does with our kind). I'm probably stating the obvious. -That I feel like I'm stating the obvious half the time. It almost pains me having to do so. Does Anyone See This: [/spoiler]
