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.

  • Probably like you, being above average intelligence. My therapist always says I'm extremely self aware. I'm very analytical. I'd also say being blunt is actually a quality, as it cuts out all the BS that people talk about and gets to the point.

    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'.
