What is a Positive about your ASD

DukeDestroyer over 3 years ago

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.

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.

In polish there is an idiom, that I haven't found equivalent in english, loosely translated it means 'to be so honest that it hurts', being blunt can hurt feelings as I'm sure everyone of us found out many times
