Finding your super power!

I am not materialistic and am happy living a simple life.  

I am observant.

I like rules and laws and like keeping them.

I've been told that I am kind.

what happens with me is a bit of a blessing and a curse. i take heavy interests in topics that catch my attention and can either have it take over my life to the point i cant think straight or i'll master it in a short time. mostly its a positive!

Some good autistic traits are: never "fake", self-driven, sees bull***t for what it is, constantly strives for self-improvement. :D be proud of who you are.

I'm far too early, myself. (severe anxiety)

Literally ALL but the last one..

I am pathologically un-punctual.

("If I am late they can't make me stand around", I think is the driver behind that issue..)

yeah, i just never thought about it before.

I think punctuality is a trait because its about the need for routine, order and rules.

Thanks, I hope you can relate to some of these autistic strengths.

I've never thought of punctuality as a trait but i always make sure I am on time to places and hate it if i get held up.

Some of my autistic strengths include:

• Deep and analytical thinking 
• Feel very passionately and intensely - really like the ability to immerse in a flow state when engaged in my interests. When interested in something I want to know everything about it.
• Creative - really love the complexity and double meanings of the English language 
• Detail orientated - see patterns all the time 
• Observant
• Feel like I can really relate to and empathise with other autistic and neurodivergent people/people who are misunderstood/quiet/shy
• Punctual

Another thought, I like the fact that because of literal thinking I see things for what they are. Also I appreciate the value of communication more because of autism.

Some good things hmm...

I'm a good driver it really bugs me when I see people driving badly so I try my best not to be a bad driver.

I like that I'm good at quickly coming up with solutions to problems that often help things move faster and more efficiently I can see small details that get in the way of things I like to think I'm good at eliminating those types of things that get in the way. (Generally just being a quick thinker)

I'm a pretty good analytical thinker but I will admit that it's gotten me in trouble because I might get stuck looking too deeply in something whereas I should have been focused on something else.

This is something of a double edge sword because it can get tiring quite quickly, but I am extremely specially aware as a result of my autism I find it extremely hard to tune out the world so I constantly take in all of the Information/sensory input around in the moment I like to make light of it by calling it my inner Sherlock Holmes because that's his thing really. He absorbs every detail and makes his grand deductions (I don't do that but I still see all the small details in things)

My pattern recognition for both peoples behaviour, even though it confuses me sometimes when people start acting differently. And also just in the physical world seeing all patterns that none of the NT people around me see unless it gets pointed out to them.

People often find me funny when I don't mean to be so that's nice when I get that positive feedback from people I don't often get that (I think that's common between autistics we're just being honest)

I like this post, somewhere we can talk ourselves up a little bit we can often get caught in a spiral of negativity. It's refreshing when someones makes a nice post like this so thank you.

Best things ,

when i am into something i am really into it. 

i understand my children ,

I see things others don't 

My world is less troubled by daft social pressures ,[i don't want to sit on a crowded spanish beach etc etc ] 

Good in a crisis , when all around are panicking i feel strangly  relaxed .

Here! Here! Or is it, Hear! Hear! What is the providence of that expression?

But I trust you know what I mean.

A lovely colleague of mine once said that if I were a superhero, I'd be "Conscience Woman". I think that was a complement to my integrity, lol. And possibly a comment on my vociferous advocacy of social justice - but I'd have to check that with him to be sure.

God! You're good! Lol. Laughing more than I have in a while

I like that Autistic people are willing to be authentic people.

I like we choose to do what we're interested in, and dig deep in depth learning so much. 

Autistic people don't fear the backlash of public opinion.

Having a different way of thinking that makes us radical, logical and analytical creative thinkers.

Detail oriented that we can see the things that others can't see.

How we can strive at what we're interested in no matter how difficult it gets.  

Not afraid of been different makes me stand out, willing to stand alone makes me able to choose the right when everyone else is choosing the wrong.

I'm an ethereal reverse physiotherapist.      I can put people's backs up and their noses out of joint and make their asses ache just using the light pressure of my fingers over the internet.

My best traits are my driving skills, cue Rainman reference, and my time for others.
