keep looking, there is something.

I saw a list on how to improve self esteem

one of the items was
instead of spending all your time on your weaknesses, trying working on your strengths so you become better at what you are good at.



the trouble with that is when you have no freaking clue as to what your strengths are.


Asperger's itself can be a strength. It allows you to focus on something very well. It allows you to think logically, too.


It doesnt always give people hyperfocus. I would have had a far better attention span if I were NT. My attention span is terrible.

True, but the point is that if something as simple as being alive has such a small probability, there's no real reason to think that something with even seemily low odds is impossible.


Well, but even if you think being alive has a small probability, it had to occur for you to even think about it. So the relevant probability is not very low, it's actually 100%. Also, even if the first probability is low, if the second probability is 0.01% of course it could happen, but I would not hold my breath for it. :?
