I feel proud for my complex thinking, and my obsession.


What do you feel?

I hope I can communicate with you from heart, even just a little bit....

Now I attached a poll to it, please vote! You are always more than welcome!

I'm also proud of my special interest and what I've learned from people about how to treat others, over the years.

Right now, I feel like I just got hit by a semi truck. But that has nothing to do with AS. Both my social difficulties and my beneficially complex thinking are the least of my concerns right now.

I do not feel either superior nor inferior.
I do not feel proud of having AS, but I do take pride, looking back at what I've had to go through and bad (well, terrible, at least for me) times I've had to overcome, partly due to AS.

I am agree with most of you :)

Sometimes I feel incurable inferior, but I console myself by thinking some extreme superior....

I feel neither inferior nor superior. I'm just a person, like anyone else. I have strengths and flaws! :P

I'm not proud, but I'm also not inferior. AS is just "part of the package".

I'm not proud, but nor do I feel inferior. It is a part of who I am, just like my shoe size or gray eyes. Sometimes when words don't come or something like that happens I feel annoyed, but not inferior, just different.

A touch of both. I have to recognize that I have deficits in certain areas and am inferior in those areas but I also have things due to ASD that I'm proud of.
