Positive aspie traits

Post Reply New Topic

I like how I catch on things quick.
I'm really good at remembering trivial facts,
and I have a passion for satire.

i like my horribly annoying personality

i like everything to do with being an Aspie except the fact i can't socialise in the slightest, i have 1 real friend.
i love my ability to notice detail and my imagination which i use to write stories(my longest is 34 pages)

how ridiculusly demented my writings can be
imagination
attention to detail
ability ocupy myself
perfect sense of beat (drummer)
ridiculisly blunt
utterly oblivious to facial expressins

the list goes on...

All right... What do I like most about being an aspie...?

There's my obsession, for one. I mean, video games are awesome, right? I can own just about anybody at Super Smash Brothers Melee.

The ease at which I learn things, like math, English, science, etc. I'm pretty proficient in just about all of my classes except for classes that relate to business. I suck at business classes.

Creativity--there's a keeper. I suppose a good philosophy is, "If you can't stand the world you live in, why not make one up of your own?" I currently am making a computer game with RPG Maker XP, so I'm letting my storytelling/imagination run wild!

I know I kind of already mentioned this, but I suppose my grammar and mechanics is also a good thing that I like. This is basically another obsession of mine: making sure that I'm using proper grammar, mechanics, and punctuation; and I simply feel that I must correct such mistakes if I see them. For instance, if I see that a vocative noun isn't set off with a comma, then I usually say to nobody in particular that a comma should be placed there or something. Go figure.

my intellect, my ability to socialise with people younger than me and my ability to even when im completely wrong find a tiny insignificant way im still right its fun and my strategical abilities.

Thats me exactly as well.

I like being different from the rest of the crowd.

Some positive things I like about it are:
- Being good at school
- being a computer nerd
- being able to solve weird problems in my head (generally ones that are not all that useful in a normal situation)
- noticing things other people wouldn't otherwise notice (like how weird the English language is, or how the waiting cursor on Windows is actually animated and how I find it fascinating)

And many others.

Me too.

Where to start? I can retain ridiculous amounts of information which can prove to be very useful at times (people say I'm an amazing listener), my unique understanding of the world around me and my current situation (the little details that NT are oblivious to), how passionately I follow my personal interests/goals, being able to focus on my schoolwork really well and being able to get straight to the point and say what I really mean.

I'm certain there's a heap more positive aspects to my AS but nothing springs to mind ATM.

I ain't got beans that people really like about me

analytical abilities, different and unique way of thinking, being more focused on interest than socializing, remembering certain things that most wouldn't, in depth knowledge on certain things, being observent and attention for detail

I like to think I have a good imagination and that I don't have a problem being myself most of the time. In a way, Aspies are free-er than many NTs in that they can accept who they are... Well, I'll have to think about that. I also think that we like what we do more than NTs, which is a huge advantage in life.

sense of humor
being attractive
appreciation of beauty of life, nature
easy to cry/feel sad

all qualites deserve respect...as it is those that make an individual....

Creativity and total divergent thought
Imaginative especially in technical (matrix-esque) matters
Being able to see "my own world" in music
Extremely focused interest (now WP)
Honesty too brutal for the purist ear
Ability to keep close friends to share said honesties
Ability to keep close friends despite unsaid peculiarities
Ability to use depth and metaphor
Ability to remember the mundane quite fast, covetous for
scanning my history book for two minutes and acing a quiz

-Loving what I like to do more than NTs (I finally figured out what it stands for! , lol).
-Wondering about what seems to be really stupid things to others, but bothers me until I figure it out.
At least I learn from curiosity.
- Loving music (You know you love it too much when your MP3 player says "Overheating...Shutting Down", I will never
forget that).
-Having few but very close friends.

Dunno if I should be posting this since I dunno if I have AS or not, but I will anyway.
