Here is a link to 2 earlier threads:

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

  • Great idea!

    1. Very literal- to the point I have been told I am very unintentionally funny because of it.
    2. Analytical
    3. Observant - I am very aware of other people’s needs particularly related to autistic experience/neurodivergence/disability.
    4. Intense 
    5. Passionate/feel very intensely happy about anything relating to my dedicated interests- autistic experience!
    6. Intense empathy 
    7. Determined
    8. Kind
    9. Hardworking 
    10. Honest - I am very direct!
