What do you like about autism?

Post Reply New Topic

I like ...well anything other then Sensory Sensitivity and Social awkwardness, i like my obsessions and focus on certain things. I also like that i get different advantages then others, i know it sounds bad but i like that i dont always get as much math homework (because i have Dyscaliculia and have meltdowns when doing math homework at home) and thats pretty much it.

I like that I can dive into topics.

I seem to be able to focus on things/details more intensely and for a longer time than others. That's something I like about myself.

Also I have the habit of trying to be accurate whatever I do. I like that, too.

Although I don't know if these have anything to do with autism, I seem to be able to figure out logical things very well and tend to have quite good memory (probably because my focus is intense). I like these, too.

I like that I am a lightning fast learner and beat "experts" at their own game sometimes. I'm taking an electrical course (with almost zero prior knowledge) and I am getting higher marks than skilled electricians! Every single person who teaches me says I am the single fastest learner they have ever met even if I'm slow to start.

Oh, nothing in particular. I just like being myself.

No official diagnosis here, but...

I like being able to focus and perseverate on a topic. My intense focus causes problems sometimes, sure, but it's also one of my strongest attributes.
I like having a good memory. I also like freaking people out with what I can remember.
I like the fact that I can teach myself new skills
I like the fact that I am almost never bored. I can keep myself amused by almost anything--even the texture of the sidewalk, or the ants crawling along between the cracks.
I like being able to notice the little things.

I like my attention to detail, my ability to hyperfocus, my obsessive interest in topics like psychopharmacology, my unique way of seeing things, my good observational skills, my wide field of vision, my neurodiversity and I think my high IQ comes with my AS to some extent.

It's harder for me to live compared to the average bear.

I'd rather know difficulty than ease.

i like how it is spelled.

I like the attention to detail and focus.

I like being passionate. Passion to me is everything in life, sadly my only real complaint with aspergers is that people without it tend to lack it.
