Positives of autism

B

What do you think are the positive characteristics of being an autistic person?

I quite often feel negative about my autism, and that I would have had a very different (better?) life if I had been allistic.

So, in a way this is a cheer yourself up thread.

  • Someone started a thread a while back about autistic joy, and I wrote this haiku poem, which explores the things that autistic people get pleasure from:

    ***************

    Absorbed in interests

    Immersed in their enjoyment

    The world fades away

    **************

    Enjoying colours

    Textures, shapes, movement and form

    Sensory pleasures

    **************

    Enjoying patterns

    Language, numbers, dance, music

    Deep satisfaction

    **************

    Nature, animals,

    Creative activities,

    Deep knowledge diving

    **************

    Structure and order

    Quiet, calm environments

    Peace in safe spaces

    **************

    Accepting oneself

    Not social expectation

    Brings autistic joy

    **************
