How can someone with Asperger's Find Their Strengths?

The strength finder book, looks very interesting, thank you. I am also still trying to identify my strengths. I have come across this list, which may help.

The below also talks about positives in the workplace:

As well as causing difficulties, however, having autism can bring positives to the work place. Tony Attwood (2007) has written a set of qualities that a person with Asperger’s would bring: 

Reliable

Persistent

A perfectionist

Easily able to identify errors

Technically able

In possession of a good sense of social justice and integrity

Likely to question protocols

Accurate

Attentive to detail

Logical

Conscientious

Knowledgeable

Original in problem solving

Honest

Likely to thrive on routine and clear expectations. 

I hope that helps.

I worked in an office setting for 7 years - it was awfull. I got bullied. I now work from home, which is so much better. 

Very best of luck.

I'm someone who has Asperger's Syndrome and finding the suitable enough job for me has been really stressful and difficult.

I would like to ask the following two questions that I have:

1. What does the term "strengths" actually mean? I don't personally understand what this exactly means.

2. How can someone with Asperger's discover what their strengths are?

The extra difficulty I am having is that I happen be to one of those with Asperger's that does not have any specific/fixated interests or even special talents or abilities.

There is a strengthsFinder book http://www.amazon.co.uk/StrengthsFinder-2-0-Upgraded-Edition-Gallups-Discover-Strengths/dp/159562015X If you buy the book then you get to take an online test. I read the First Break ALl the RUles book, that is linked to the strengthsfinder test, and found that to be very good (i.e. it said things that I agreed with !) 

I am a graduate of International Relations and also have an ECDL Extra certificate but I have difficulties with writing and maths and have lost interest in the subject.

I've been a shop assistant volunteer with a charity bookshop for two years and what I've noticed recently is that I have got into the habit of making paper boomerangs and planes when the till is not busy or at home and sometimes drawing still life when I am at home.

I am not brilliant or perfect with them by any means since I have no creative backround whatsoever. I do them I guess because it helps me a focus on something, using my hands and also applying attention to detail. It sort of helps me get my mind of the outside world if you know what I mean. 

I know it sounds silly and not very "marketable" but that would one answer.

I understand what you're driving at, but you're asking impossible questions of people who don't know you. Even if you don't yet recognise it, the answers already lie within you. R'socks has given you probably the best answer, so just come back and talk about yourself some more and maybe the picture will become clearer for you. At least on here you're with people who can go along with you on your journey to self-discovery.

Everyone has a unique mixture of skills and weaknesses. Some people are rubbish at football but good at sums. Some people are good at sums but hate writing. People with Asperger's are bad at communicating with other people but often have more patience and interest in the boring details of things than other people. For some people with Aspergers I expect that the problems that it brings can seem to overwhelm any talents which you do have.

So, what do you like doing? what do you enjoy? What brings you satisfaction? If you had no need to go to work or do anything routine then what would you pick up and do? Would you read a book or go walking or go to the zoo?
