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.

  • I tend to focus on the negatives a lot too but I am aware that there are positives. It's difficult to know exactly what is autism and just me but this is what I think: I have a very good memory, I am extremely logical, I am good at puzzles and problem solving which I think makes me good at things like maths and ICT and when I really want to do something, I have a heck of a determination.

    I'm not very good at a lot of the things many autistic people are, like tech, or maths, I'm much more intuition based than logic based to the point where I often think that logic is a set of excuses to justify something you intuitively know. I can be very determined though, this isn't always welcome, as others see it as me being particulalry thrawn
