this desription is only about me rather than asperger in general

aspergers gave the gift of seeing what others cannot yet took away the ability to give the benefit of the gift to others

hmmm... somewhat listy because I cant think of a better way to do 25 exactly (my perspective only):

Very Frustrating
Often Tense
Always interesting
Peacefully alone
Magically insightful

Nerdy, Excited, Logical, Alternative, Awkward

Painfully restrictive
Emotionally exhausting
Passionately seductive
Special Interests
Hypersensitive POW!

I see myself as normal.

But not meeting people's expectations,

makes me feel I'm not.

I learn to fit in.

The mask fits.... I'm lost.

I can chit chat, but I hate it. The world seems to revolve around it. I can be quite misanthropic as a result.

"Do I have to?". "Try/see/feel this doesn't that sound/look/feel weird? do it again and tomorrow". No party, I'll google. See music, 7hrs at piano.

Hmm,

Giver of gifts. Thief of choices & chance. Straight jacket of lonliness.

Socially awkward, feeling alone throughout my life. Always a little quirky, which I like unless I am in public, when it becomes shameful.

Mildly obsessive with bouts of hyperfocus and ADHD, exceptionally intelligent - sometimes charming, always awkward, fiercely loyal

But that's just a description of me

I think I am aware of something that no one else is, and they are aware of something that I am not.
