1. My natural tendency to approach issues logically makes me better-equipped at helping friends sort through problems which, for most, are too clouded by emotion.

2. Similarly, I can often use reason to lessen my own negative emotions.

3. An obsessive nature can lead to fascinating special interests and very thorough work in school and employment.

4. Though I often don't "get" the joy of others, I am able to find immense pleasure in little things which go unnoticed by most people.

Lots of reactions here! Thank you for all the input and positivity! Hope there is more to follow :D.

Adding:
If something catches my interest (even meta to it) I'm like the Duracell Bunny/Energizer Bunny and keep on going and going.

Being on the autistic spectrum has caused me to stay young for my age in both appearance and spirit.
I also have a rich, fulfilling fantasy world that I believe I wouldn't have if I weren't autistic.
