How can someone with Asperger's Find Their Strengths?

lanqi414

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.

    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?
