Type in reasons to be proud of your Asperger's/Autism

Post Reply New Topic

Im proud of being an aspie.

im smart, intelligent and i think differently than other people.

I would say, having a greater inherent ability to think independent of others.

I go through moods where being an aspie feels like a burdensome curse.

If my attention to detail and intense interest and focus on writing is attributable to autism, then I guess it's something to be proud of.

I'm not sure whether my IQ is directly attributable to my Autism, but I'm certainly happy not to have the same neurology as a shallow, inane, cliquish sheep NT.

I love having obsessions, and... being smart, a strong sense of individuality, being able to do think rationally without having emotions dominate my actions, being able to rely on myself emotionally.

no reasons to be proud of it.

As far as I'm concerned, none.

I don't feel pride (nor shame) for my AS.

I'm not the cause of it, in any way, I haven't chosen to have it and I haven't asked for it.

What should I be proud (or ashamed) of?

Pride and shame are not things I can understand.


BTW, I think I could say I am glad to be the person I am, but this is regardless of my autism.

I'd like to think being an aspie helped me to be a very loving person.

I still wish I didn't have it though

I'm creative and I have a super good memory
