Say something nice about your autism.

"Something nice" doesn't qualify

it allows me to deeply enjoy the things others see as mundane.

Yes. Maybe it also allows us to see boring, meaningless stuff as mundane (and rightfully so)?

(such as small talk and other BS)

My main Special Interest is a very unusual interest for a person to have.

If I think of something I'll let you know. If there was a pill that eliminated AS then I would take it in a heartbeat.

It has allowed me to meet some very nice people here.

I'm wildly creative with a sense of humor that can be above some people's heads.

Feel free to talk to me, if you wish.

Every day is a gift- cherish it!

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need."

um it keeps me out of trouble regarding peer pressure and social stuff

I am fairly certain without it I would not have my math skills

It allows me to see patterns well.

It made very academically smart compared to most of my peers.

I do my tasks at work quicker and more efficient than the NT:s because I don't care about small talk.

It doesn't really make me suffer, yet it does make me enjoy things deeply. I think I enjoy those a lot more than non-autistic folks.

Music, literature, all kinds of subjects…. I gather so much knowledge and new ideas. I love it.

Furthermore it makes me more ''zen'' actually, I think. And I love not caring too much about other people's opinions. Just being happy that I exist.

I've learned at a very young age not to attack my autistic brothers and sisters on account of their special interests, because I knows how much it hurts first hand.
