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.

  • My socks, lol. Who doesn't want to go to bed at night obsessively designing the perfect pair of sock? Ok. Nobody but me, Lol.

    Sometimes autism is fun! Very individual fun, but big time fun!

    Socks were sorted for me about thirty years ago when a company I worked at went bust.

    I calculated how many of their logo'd black promotional socks I would need until I died, and have guarded my stash jealously, and used them slowly, ever since. 

    I love these 2 comments.

    Thank you for both bringing a smile this morning.

    , maybe knit some colourful socks for to add some colour and variety to his collection?

    Maybe we need a socks thread?
