Asperger's and Autism Are Gifts!

I would live on a deserted island for the rest of my life like Robinson Crusoe. Once again, here's hoping the Church stays away.

I hope I can get more of my book typed this week. I would post it here, but I would rather not. [I'm extremely sensitive to criticism, even though I don't care what people think, so I'm paradoxical on top of everything else! ]
Wouldn't you be lonely, Cockroach?

No. I am lonely when among people. When I'm at home watching YouTube I don't feel lonely.

I am often lonely.

That's one of the many reasons why autism is a curse, contrary to the title of this thread.

I don't believe it is a curse. I also try not to let Asperger's rule my life. My being lonely actually has nothing to do with Asperger's, believe it or not. It's personal.

If you were NT you wouldn't be lonely. In fact you wouldn't even have an account here, you'd be chilling with friends instead. That would be much better for you.

How do you know? Please tell me. I really want to know how you know so much about me! It's fascinating! [I'm actually being serious, not sarcastic.] I would rather be here than 'chilling with friends', and I don't think it would be at all better. But I am what I am, and would not be NT for anything.

That's sad. I'm sorry.

My computer science teacher gave us the same type of problems that you'd expect in the final exams. He gave us the one that he thinks is the hardest one of them all and, well, apparently these sort of things are easy as hell to solve for an aspie.

Not really. I suck at math and computer science. There are plenty Of NTs who are good at them.

I'm a good writer. I'm good at remembering and learning stuff. I think I am kind and caring. I enjoy spending time by myself in my "inner world". I ave a sense of wonder, too.

Great! We have lots in common.
Okay, so basically the Indigo/Crystal/Rainbow Children theory is that they are special children who have particular purposes when it comes to helping, healing, and making the world a better place.
Here's an article for more information.

I'm one of those people who can get and visualize ideas very easily. As a result I have this natural gift for writing to the point of being able to come up with what if scenarios for things like fanfiction, ideas for novels and other stories, and even my own RPG world rather easily. They often come in short, intense bursts, but they do come.

My mindset and tendency toward hyperfocus is what drove me into my current profession as a programmer. There are a number of programming languages and development suites I'm familiar with and my ability to break ideas down to the basics has also allowed me to mentor several of my younger coworkers when they're having trouble.
