It's not a matter of "understanding" social conventions and having knowledge of what people look like when certain things happen, it's the fact that as someone with severe assburgers he doesn't have the benefit of the completely automatic detection and understanding of these things that normal people have.

I don't have to think to know what to do in social situations, it just happens. Totally autonomous. Even someone with a perfect understanding of this shit will struggle and seem awkward if this doesn't happen. Sheldon is full retard tho, and it's obviously exaggerated for TV.

most people with aspergers that act like that do so beacuse they lack something to make them care.

they very literally don't give a fuck how over people see them, so they don't adjust their behavior.

stfu aspie faggot. You are retarded for the following reasons:
1) You think that IQ is a reasonable intelligence measure
2) You expect seriousness and scientific accuracy from a sitcom
3) You watch The Big Bang Theory.

Point 3) alone is enough to conclusively prove that you are retarded. 1) and 2) serve just as a further evidence for the people who don't have time / are not interested in deriving your retardation from point 3) alone.

Yowon Choi and Ruut Veenhoven
Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands


Abstract:
Are smart people happier? In this study, the relation between intelligence and happiness is explored at two levels, at the micro-level of individuals and at the macro-level of nations.

[...]

One interpretation of these findings is that intelligence does not affect happiness; another is that its positive effects are counterbalanced by negative ones. Future research should look for such negative effects."

I find Sheldon very inconsistent in terms of how his intelligence manifests itself. Also, many of his compulsions and phobias are obviously just there to fit the nerd stereotype.

The law holds because all knowledge that holmes displayed was put there by Arthur. As you say, the world was rigged so that Holmes always came out on top and figured everything out, however this isn't actually higher intelligence being displayed, it's the illusion of it created by a good writer.

You can say "my character has an IQ of 1 billion and knows everything", but the character will never be able to actually display this. Information can't come from nowhere, the writer had to put it there. This is why the motivation reveal for many superhuman or alien agents in fiction often fall flat - as soon as they are required to actually explain a motivation or purpose that they were previously just hinting at, it has to be dreamed up by the writer, and thus ends up being shit 99% of the time because the writer under-delivers (LOOKING AT MASS EFFECT 2).

I think we've established:

1) Although IQ is by no means a uniform measure of intelligence, it gives a pretty good approximation of the kind of intelligence needed for most higher-level tasks in our society.
2) House is Sherlock Holmes, improperly rendered in a modern-day setting.
3) Everybody has a different body type, and their own range of definitions for "too thin" and "too fat".

And now, here's a photograph of a baby toucan.

Television shows are made to make money. They do this by pursuing the largest possible viewer base. By definition the majority of their possible audience is is of subgenius intelligence, hovering around average. THE SHOW SPECIFICALLY CATERS TO THE AVERAGE PERSONS IDEAL OF A GENIUS!

Watch the movie "Fracture".

Anthony Hopkins is very good at playing the part of the "insane genius".
