I am intrigued to know what people think. I bet we will disagree, but this is fine 
If we all thought the same, discussion forums would be boring!
Anyway, the negatives for me are:
Inability to form meaningful friendships and relationships, despite having many acquaintances and potential social contacts
Inability to deal with choice, planning for the future, working out what is important in life and what I need to do to get there; a lack of direction
Inability to deal with unforeseen events and changes to my usual routine; I require a lot of warning and mental preparation
Extreme anxiety and negative thinking, obsessions and fixations (the most disabling aspect of my condition)
Can't switch off my thoughts, or deal with too much stimuli, like noise, particularly when I am already stressed
All or nothing approach to things: I am either very interested in something or very bored and directionless
Social situations are tiring and unnatural; they always feel like I am acting a part, and they feel so fake and alienating. I always feel like I am hiding a dirty secret, and this causes social anxiety
Feeling alone in the world; problems with communicating my innermost thoughts
Endless procrastination; too much thinking and not enough doing
The positives, to me, are not to be found in the condition but in my own personality:
Endlessly curious and interested in things, so long as my anxiety is not taking over my thoughts
Motivated and keen to overcome my difficulties
A positive outlook; a belief that things can improve - where there is a will there is a way!
Conscientious
Will stick up for what I believe in
