From my understand many persons with autism or aspergers tend to excel very high or have a specialization in a specific area. The sciences tend to be my area.

I have excellent spatial/geometric skills.

I have no special interests. I've enjoyed creative writing as well as sequences and number systems my entire life, though.

Music (ability is in Memory, not performing skill), science/nature (lifetime hyper-interest). Symbols and pattern-recognition (advanced though not superior)(probably).

tolerance for other people who have challenging disabilities or behaviors without judging them?

a deep bond and love for animals that goes further than what most people have with them.

knowing quite a bit about computer stuff.

everyone has qualities about themselvs it is harder to see them if are not confidednt in self.
