I find Aspi's fascinating, they are a great example of how nature affects someone's behavior. Let me focus on the positives of aspi behavior. For example: this week I noticed a colleague of mine telling me that I had not given someone proper credit for his work. I knew I was in arrears in my own credit department, but I waited until an occasion would come up to make up for my shortfall. My colleague noticed my waiting, and she decided to prompt me into action.
As I am professional, honest, and have a strong feel for justice, I could have told my colleague that her reminder was redundant: "Look, I am an Aspi, so there is no need to worry, I will credit him soon".
The same holds for infidelity, alas for the women that hitted on me relentlessly
Some days ago someone on this forum devised a card for Aspi's that informs others about their - sometimes - strange behavior, in particular the meltdowns. I, on the other hand, would wish that there was card that informs others about some great Aspi traits:
"I am an Aspi, this means that I am loyal, trustworthy, and honest. I have a great feel for justice, and once I am committed to being your colleague or friend I will never let you down.
I care, even though from the outside I may look a bit uncaring, however, that is just superficial.
I am a good listener and I will not bother you with my values, nor will I judge or patronise you.
You can trust me, I am an Aspi!"
