What defines your autism?

To kind of reiterate something from my profile, my ASC isn't necesarilly a disability, in fact in my own home environemt that is set up to suit me I thrive quite well, I feel more like I am disabled by the fact that society and infrastructure are built around very narrow and "normative" ways of being.
So I am defined by being different, and not in a bad way because it's an alternative, not inferior, set of Pros and Cons to being me.
And my Pros are amazing, any thing I need to learn I trick myself into fixating on so I can master it faster. I can diagnose car problems by sound, nobody could break into my home in the night because I would hear them before they got to the front door, by sense of smell I have detected electrical faults that would have turned into fire hazards, my planning and creative problem solving skills are next level. I can tell which card was yours in the deck because I can feel it is slightly warmer than the others, and there's loads more, but not least of the mundane super powers especially around Xmas time: I can always tell where the end of the sellotape is.
