Do autistic people consider this?
I went to a meeting/education (I don't know the English word) where an autistic woman came to tell about what it is like to be autistic and what it exactly is and stuff. I knew most about the topic already, the main reason I came was to ask about decision making and evaluating. My question was; do autistic people realize they are autistic when they perform remarkably good (e.g. at a math test) or bad (e.g. when cooking)? You all know for yourself that you are good and bad at things and use that to explain your successes and failures. Do autistic people also do that? I asked her this three times in different ways but she didn't understand. She thought it was about other people vs. the person, but I meant the person vs him-/herself. So my question, again, is: do autistic people realize they are autistic when they perform remarkably good or bad?
Update:There is a difference between Asperger and autism. Asperger is classified within the spectrum of autism as a mild form, because people with Asperger do want to socialize with other people and they sally have a high intelligence.

I‘m on the autism spectrum. I find your question kind of confusing and unclear, but I‘ll attempt to answer it anyway and hope it helps.
I know that I‘m autistic and that my autism often affects me in various ways, including how good or bad I am at particular things. I know that I‘m very good at some things and bad at some other things. Some of the things I‘m particularly good or bad at are extremely likely to be closely linked to my autism and I associate my success/difficulty with those things with my autism. I know that my autism affects my ability to do those things, either in a good or bad way. However, there are also some other things that I‘m good or bad at that I don‘t think really have anything to do with my autism, but with other factors. Many other factors than our autism can affect how well we do at particular tasks, just like with other people.
People with autism have their own sense of value of what is good and bad just as anyone else does. People with autism may have a greater level of tolerance or intolerance for valuing what they accomplish. I don't think you can generalize, except that it is likely to be one extreme or the other. Perfectionism (OCD) is more common in people with autism than general society, but it is not intrinsic to autism. Also not paying attention to social cues may make them not aware they are not succeeding at a conventional level, but again this is not intrinsic to autism and may or may not happen.
Your assumptions about Asperger syndrome are incorrect. Very recent research has shown that the average IQ of a person with Asperger syndrome is 104 - only 4 points higher than the norm. And there are people who have Asperger syndrome who have no interest in socializing.
I don't really know the answer to this fully, but perhaps their autism makes them a lot less self-aware. they are so lost in their thoughts. I think what you are really talking about is Asperger's .
I certainly have a gentle form of autism. i'm quiet, yet I uncontrollably communicate and play with myself on each occasion i'm bored and decide for to be on my own. I play with my brothers while they decide for to play with me. I in simple terms refer to mom appropriate to the numerous stuff. I shop pushing myself to speak to others my age, on an identical time as quickly as I did no longer decide for to. i could nicely be insecure adequate to speak approximately random stuff to random people, so i does not cause them to sense uncomfortable, yet they preceive me as diverse, superb and quiet, on an identical time as quickly as I say random stuff. i'm extremely depressing attempting to speak to all people who i do no longer many times refer to considering that may no longer who i'm. i like to exhibit screen and comprehend issues. Write all of them down in scrap paper. study what I witnessed, and make it a narrative. Ta-da.
