What Are The Positive Traits of Asperger's Syndrome?

Above normal hearing
Acute sense of smell and taste
Good eyesight
Logical thinking
Not letting emotions get in the way
Seeing patterns and paying attention to detail
Good at absorbing trivia and learning things they are into and know lot about it
Savant syndrome
Hyper focus

Some of those may not be true for all. I'm not sure where you're getting them from. Are they your own traits? If so, maybe you should make it clear that you are speaking for yourself rather than making a generalisation.

I am a very emotional person. I have recently been given a prescription for glasses. I've seen loads of Aspies on here wearing glasses. fFrom what I've heard, very few Aspies are savants. So not all of your points apply to everyone.

From my own personal perspective, the postives of having Asperger's are that I am so childlike that I am invariably happier than most other adults I know. My brain has never developed to the point where I will cease to be thrilled if given a tiny gift and I'll start to jump up and down and clap my hands for joy. Life is amazing. It's fun to play. The world is beautiful. Not people, but nature. Butterflies merit a squeal of delight and a pause to chase them. Flowers are awesome. The sky is so blue. The stars are so fantastic. I feel sorry for all those poor adults, not noticing all these things any more, and walking along blindly in their misery.
