Does autism aid your creativity?

Steven

(Sorry for starting yet another thread. I just have so many questions, all the time.)

I'd love to know how being autistic helps, or hinders, your creative abilities.

  • I enjoy painting and doodling, but I'm not particularly good at it.  Not terrible, but nothing special.

    I have been honing my writing skills, mostly by fixating on TV shows and creating fanfiction for them.  Being autistic definitely helps with that.  I've been given various comments about how positive my writing is, with clear communication (ha!) and lots of feelings in the right way.  And I think all of that stems from my autistic view of the world.

    Now I need to stop posting and get working on that novel.
