Being autistic when I do things I take a huge interest in the things I do and I've noticed that these things I usually become good at which is awesome. I'm a fast learner, is that to do with autism? Or maybe it's one of my quirks. Anywho....Some of the things I'm good at is
*art
*writing
*parenting - I hope lol
*poker - I'm not an addict promise
*reciting the alphabet backwards.
*cooking
*voice acting
Everything else I'm not really that good at.
I'm not good at a lot unfortunately... I'm good at creative writing. I have a really powerful imagination and can type and write very fast. My words per minute are 107.
I’m good at being empathetic. I have a list of people who I check in with all the time, some friends, some family and some customers I have worked for in the past. If they have suffered grief and been in a dark place I have to let them know they are still in my thoughts. I think people appreciate that and it’s a very rare occurrence these days, I just can’t help it and some people might think it’s a bit strange but for some reason I genuinely feel their pain. On the flip side I feel their happiness when they realise they haven’t been forgotten. Im also good with my hands in a practical sense and I’m good at spotting detail in most ways.
That's a great one! One you should be really proud of. You are obviously a very kind and thoughtful person. I am empathic and I like to help people with anything I can but I think because of my autism I feel other people's emotions so strongly it actually has a negative impact on me and triggers my mental health, which is such a shame as I fear it now makes me come across as cold towards people.
I'm definitely with you on spotting details. I tend to notice everything, including the little things that a lot of people seem to miss. I love being observant! I'm not so practical with my hands though, my hands don't really work especially well at the moment.
