I'd also have to add my honesty; I am quite tactless at times.

What a pity that I lack it entirely, then.

Traits about myself I enjoy... well, I'm quite fond of my attention span, or at least my ability to focus on things that interest me for long periods. I'm pleased with my long-term memory and I quite enjoy my geekiness. :) I also greatly enjoy my obsession, and happily I'm not the only one at all who has it (it's quite common even amongst non-Aspie people, though alas my parents won't facilitate). I love my vocabulary and I love my touch of synesthesia. And of course, my ability to read extremely quickly and retain the information. I'm not sure how much of that comes from AS in particular, mind.

God, I wish I had perfect pitch. My sense of pitch is abyssmal. I couldn't tell the difference between Eb and G# to save my life. Thankfully my aspie stubbornness and my enhanced memory exist or I would be a terrible musician.

- Bluntness.
- Perfect pitch and musical talent.
- Not being able to stand being touched gently. Hard touches are okay.
- Hating hugs.
- Hating photographs.
- Logic.
- Creativity.
- Determination.
- Slight schizophrenia.


Things that make me non-Aspie?
- Semi-okay communication with society.
- Good motor skills.

XD I AM a terrible musician. I'm tone-deaf--perfect pitch nothing, I'd settle for the ability to carry a tune in a bucket--and my stubbornness never kicked in round music.

You like anime? Do you like Azumanga Daioh? I think it's pretty funny.

Creativity and imagination. I've been told I'm very smart but I really can't tell. I have my amazing feats of stupidity and I have times when I feel smarter than average. I also have my musical talent, but that isn't a result of AS. It's in my family.

Very active imagination, creativity, I learn very fast!, I can comprehend language better, awsome artistic skills, I retain information, and it's a great excuse to not go to school or church dances!(I get sick in crowded rooms, especially with loud music and flashing lights)
