I love myself... nightly 
Oh, wait! Wrong idea. Sorry.
I love myself because I know I genuinely want to help people. I want to lift their spirits and I enjoy making them laugh. I may not be as good at it as someone with social instincts, but the spirit is there. On an interesting side note, I have found that I have been fortunate enough to really make a difference for others like me with AS. My advice seems to be accepted "the right way" and my meaning isn't usually misunderstood. Perhaps because we tend to think alike in many ways and they almost universally "get" me. I have found this to be extremely rewarding and it is the driving force behind why I remain a visitor to this site when many drift away.
"Is this selfish?" I wonder sometimes. Is this selfish in that I am in essence receiving a form of "pay value" and self-validation when I can help someone else and truly be effective? I hope not, but cannot completely discount the possibility. I suppose that is the nature of one who questions their nature.

something I also (can't quite say love, but like) about myself for, and wonder about potential selfishness
I also...like...whatever in me makes my younger siblings believe that I'm someone they can look up to
and whatever leads my sister's also aspie friend to think I'm a good person
I also like that I'm apparently very good at hugging and listening
