Hi thought i’d start a positive tread.
We often are told or feel like autism is full of negatives and although it can make things more much more difficult or put at as a disadvantage in some situations. I do also believe it can come with great strengths and positives too.
Feel free to list some of yours, it would be great to read them!
Mine are…
1. Amazing sense of direction and navigation
2. Good with animals
3. Good in emergencies or instances where you need to think quick and logically
I found this video on YouTube in which a wonderful young girl expounds all the things she wished she’d said before about her autism. I found it around the time I was diagnosed and it was exactly what I needed at that moment.
I just wish I’d known about my condition when I was her age.
