I feel offended and sickened when people tell me my AS is a gift :roll:

oh and 1Oryx2, I probably will
having pride in AS is like calling an orange an apple
it'll never happen and its stupid to consider

FINALLY, someone says that.
Hans Asperger should've been shot before he found it.

There are benefits to AS in addition to curses. I have super memory, super learning and spontaneous moments of genius. Although, I crap motor functions/super clumsiness.

Everbody on my old IT course loved me. To them I was some form of super-hero.

AS makes me super cool:)

But seriously I blame AS on my video game super powers and intelligence.

It can also be a bad thing. Mostly bad.

I'm always wondering if Autism gives you secret abilities Neurotypicals don't have. Like for example, when I was talking to my group teacher (the Teacher I see when it's time for social group) she showed me a picture of her kids, and I said "The look like they like Waffles!" And she was surprised because she told me they ate Waffles every day! Another example was when my parents and I were watching the 100 scariest move moments and I kept teling them "Jaws" was number one! And what movies was at the end of the count down? JAWS, OF COURSE!

So what do you all think of "Autism Superpowers"?

I think that we do have special abilities. (I'm pretty sure I'm psychic n_n) But they come at a price...

well duh

for my story, i occasionaly have certain unexplained feelings or hunches, like thinking of a certain person and something that will happen to that person, for instance a friend of mine went to the czech republic and i felt like something slightly bad (not life threatening) was going to happen to her (this is also credited to her perpetual bad luck) when she came back she told me she got all the money she took with her stolen. another time i was thinking of another friend of mine alot, really alot, and i always had the feeling and the wish to see her, she ended up in front of my door one night, when she ran away from home.

i also have impossible déja vu's, i relive an experience wich i have dreamed of beforehand. other superpowers include the always present asperger sense (like spider sense

) i have really develepod hearing, and smelling senses, my eyesight is pretty bad but with my glasses on i can spot certain abnormalities and details pretty fast, pretty resilient to physical pain (hardly resilient against emotional pain) and mental stamina, even though my body is tired, i can still keep pushing myself to go on.

well... uh...

I'm guessing because you made this topic, that you're a fan of the New orleans saints.

AM I RIGHT?

Shoot. I guess that means I'm not autistic.

I think of parts of TV shows and movies before they air... They are things I have seen before, but I have no idea they are gonna show!

I think of a part of a TV show, for example, and that exact episode comes on next day!

I dont even read the TV schedule!! !

Ditto. Except I have super vision.

Wow.

Um, okay.

What ever floats your boat, I guess.
