"Autistically smart"?? There are many words in the English language that describe extreme/unusual intelligence. There's no need to perpetuate stereotypes just to do so

Yes, I'm not particularly smart. The opposite actually. I may be more intelligent than some other people because of social problems conditioning me to avoid "smart" or "witty" ways of solving problems.

As a person on the spectrum, I am not offended and endorse his statement. Please find a real issue to be offended about.
