Does any one with ASD see it as a burden or a gift . I have always known am different but not in a bad way . Always felt that I was looking in the world then being part of it . Always thought I lived my life through others life’s and not concentrated on my own life . Always making comments others wouldn’t

  • It has been both to me, though overcoming, or at least coping with, the problems my autism brings have made me a resilient person. The things about autism that have helped me are: the ability to concentrate obsessively for long periods of time, my exceptional eye for detail and an ability to solve problems from non-standard directions (lateral thinking). As I was, I'm now retired, a biomedical researcher, these 'gifts' were invaluable. I wrote two theses, masters and PhD, which were passed without revision or correction, a relatively unusual occurrence. I became the 'go to' person for proofreading PhD theses in my department (occasionally from other departments), though I did demand a bottle of wine as payment. I have lost count of the number I have proofread.
