What is a Positive about your ASD

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

  • Perhaps we're often blunt because the rituals of communication are so familiar to us that we swiftly become bored? In conversation, NTs insist on straining to leap the 'hurdles' they erect for themselves and for us; we'd rather cast the hurdles aside and just get the race over with. Truth, unadorned with tedious frippery, is massively important to us. They complacently misread this behaviour of ours as 'impatience', 'temper', and 'bluntness'.

  • I like your comment, I have also been told that I am very self aware too. I think it maybe because we autistics are naturally deep thinkers. 

    I would say that being blunt is a quality too because like you say it makes people get to the point in conversation.
