There is so much stigma surrounding Asperger's Syndrome. It's hard for us Aspies to accept ourselves as the wonderful and amazing people we are when so many people talk about it like it's something to be ashamed of. In order to combat that negativity, here's a list of the Top 10 Positive Aspects of Having Asperger's Syndrome.
10. HonestyWe rarely lie (you can tell if we try it!) and we don't say it if we don't mean it.
9. Obsessions...can become lucrative careers. (List of
suspected Aspies
here. Note their fields of expertise.)
8. Great problem solversWe solve problems by thinking outside the box.
7. Loyal When we're your friend, it's for life. You have to be a REALLY bad person to lose us.
6. ObjectiveMore objective in an emotional or volatile situation. We're not unsympathetic, we're just trying to find a solution to the issue.
5. AcceptingMore willing to accept people for who they are.
4. KnowledgeableExtremely well-versed in our field or subject of choice.
3. VisionWe see the whole picture, details and all, and we KNOW we will succeed.

I LOVE this! So great. Its really nice to see people sharing the positives of autism. As hard as it can be, dealing with my daughters frustration and tantrums, I see such a special quality in her. She is fiercely intelligent, so honest and just all around pure, loyal and loving. She is a great little creature who wouldn't be the same without autism. Thank you!
Great post! People with aspergers lack some of the tools for bringing about empathy but that is completely different than saying they actually lack empathy itself.
I honestly have a secret love of Aspergers in general . . . lol. I find people who have it to be absolutely adorable. ._.
I would have to say that my favorite thing is the honesty thing . . . although it has severely hurt me a couple of times. . .
Thanks so much for reading, you guys!! :) I'm still working out this Autisble thing and how to navigate it. :) I'm not meaning to ignore anyone!
Wonderful post! :)
