ASD Superpower

I think it's interesting that she says, "given the right circumstances - being different is a superpower." In a way, I suppose she could just be saying that differences (in general) can be a superpower, rather than just referring to ASD. In terms of her reference to "the right circumstances", maybe she's acknowledging that people who are different will thrive in certain areas, even though they struggle in others. That's just my interpretation though :)

Whether we agree with Greta's statements or not, I do think it's really positive to see more media representation for women and girls with autism (although some of those journalists are clearly in the dark ages!).

Perhaps her Aspergers enables her to have the level of focus required to make her campaigning successful? Let her have her bit of glory, over coming an eating disorder is no mean feat. As long as her vulnerability is not taken advantage of and exploited.

Maybe! I think she's incredible. Like you've said, though, it's important that she's safe and supported.
