Up to 10 characteristics that define you

over 1 year ago

Here is a link to 2 earlier threads:

https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/28721/does-your-autism-define-you/252201#252201

and

https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/29374/what-defines-your-autism/277902#277902

I was thinking about these threads and characteristics defining us.

So, what do you think defines you (or at least you see as very essential characteristics) ...

Me, in no particular order.

1. Compassion

2. Intelligence

3. Open-mindedness

4. A duality

5. Sensitivity

6. Intuition

7. Stillness/calmness

8. Analytical

    Thanks.

    Good set of qualities and I'm sure you have others that people who know you would choose.

    In fact, when I did CBT I was asked to talk to people close to me to get their perceptions of me, and they were very different from my perceptions of myself.

    I was very taken aback by that.

    I love the C S Lewis quote you have in your profile, by-the-way.
