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.
Positives:
I can mimic people with ease like copy their voice or how they walk.
I can learn things really fast, like my brain just knows what to do. I pick it up quickly.
Though I can't often relate to people I understand when they need a listening ear and support them.
I'm honest, sometimes to a fault.
Negatives;
Anxiety.
Lack in social skill and understanding.
Can't process some things.
And the rest of the usual.
