My support worker asked me yesterday if I have any strengths. I said no, I couldn't think of any at the time. She then asked me something else which no one has asked me before.
Do I have any autistic strengths.
At the time I couldn't think of anything. Whenever people ask me something it takes a while before my brain can come up with the answers, and as I thought it would, it's decided to come up with them when I should be sleeping.
Thanks brain!
From what I can gather my autistic strengths are the following.
- Excellent memory - I only need to watch something once and I never forget it. Same with going to places, I remember it almost photographically.
- Very honest.
- Great eye for detail - often notice things others do not.
- Can mimic other people and TV characters voices with ease.
- Repetitive - I can watch the same things and listen to the same songs on repeat for hours. I never get bored.
- I'm like an encyclopedia of knowledge on the things I like and find interesting.
I would love to hear your own strengths.
Feel free to share as many or as little as you want to.
