The advantages of my autism are... (Whinge free zone)

A+B-C

Whats your advantage?  One of mine is the ability to do a very rapid data mine on a subject in under an hour on the Internet and sound like I know what I am talking about afterwards... Oh your into candle making!  Crack a few wick jokes, wax eloquently and remember the info for ever, even though I cant remember where I left my keys!

  • A good question and something I am actively working on finding out (strengths rather than just areas of difficulty).

    The ability to focus on a task or interest to minute detail. This can allow me to stick with something and see it through where someone else might lose interest or not worry about the ‘little details’. I definitely still overlook things here and there, but the small details are where I feel I have some skill (although saying this feels unusual, as I’m not really used to to recognising areas where I’m successful).
