What defines your autism?

There's another question that sprang to mind this morning.

What defines your autism?

I have noticed that most of the posts on the forum appear to be about our vulnerabilities.

So, is our autism defined by our vulnerabilities?

Certainly the sensitivities and communication difficulties can make us more vulnerable to stress and isolation.

Any positives anyone?

I'm still thinking about that one.

There is a lot of food for thought once we have obtained recognition either personally or professionally.

  • Normal? No, thank you.

    I'd rather be me even if it means alone.

    I get to do all kind of cool things they wouldn't come up with in a million years, and they would need another million to understand it.

    Like giving cool names to anything and everything: Clueless Copycats, The Furious Blinking Response, Radical Solutions, or nicknames that stick to a person for life.

    I can talk to myself and never get bored. <-- my favourite kind of joke, it's the truth !!!

    I've given my neighbours nicknames.
