Reason: my fairly near eidetic memory.

Drawback: the very same memory. Imagine never being able to forget some of the most horrific experiences of your life. Now Imagine being able to close your eyes and experience it again, say when you experience an emotional trigger. The real horror, the recall of that memory causes you to photographically reprocess it again.

I expected there to be some negative responses to this thread... but god damn, people...

Even if someone isn't normally a troll, if they're being negative on a thread that's clearly supposed to be positive, that's trolling, whether intentional or not. Don't feed the trolls.

Anyway....

^^^The combination of hyperactivity and rage added with being repetetive can turn an aspie into a rather nasty troll at times. I think there have been times I might be a troll during those times. I do get carried away with stuff at times and feel bad afterwards though.

Yeah - I'm wired a little differently than average. There are times I wish I was your Average Joe who fit in and got along well with the human herd...

...but I'd miss out on some cool things like my enhanced abilities in art, creativity, music (playback and composition), writing, and understanding of human nature that only comes from being an outside observer "looking in."

I like the pursuit of truth, honesty and goodness. I like striving for excellence instead of "barely passable mediocrity".

My only lament is that if I'd learned how to get along with (and please) other people I might've become what more people would consider a "success", rather than just getting by.
