What is a Positive about your ASD

DukeDestroyer

I love having above average intelligence. I’m also extremely empathetic and very perceptive as well. Everything else is just detrimental to me.

  • For me, one of the things I appreciate is my ability to spend time alone in my own company. Not only is it essential for recharging my batteries and rest, but it’s a great time to lose myself in thought. Especially on topics otherwise kindly deemed ‘boring’ by those around me.

    This is something I can do that many others seem to struggle with, but more than that, I gain a lot of enjoyment from it.

    I like my ability to lose myself in thought, but I think it's dangerous. I have on a number of occasions come close to being run over when stepping out into the road without looking as my mind is elsewhere!

    I would agree with the potential for danger in situations where you have to be mindful. I think that’s why I like some time alone scheduled in each day for this, so that I can then travel in a focused way. I tend to find that I drift off during conversations a lot though and that would probably be a bit annoying for the people talking to me.
