Top Ten Best Things About Aspergers Syndrome

I have Aspergers Syndrome, so I decided to make a positive list about it.
I am not trying to brag by making this list, and I'm not trying to make fun of other people.
The Top Ten
You have a visual memory

If I think of a certain anime character doing something he didn't do in the anime, I can easily get an image like that pictured in my mind.

You are very honest

This prevents me from getting in trouble at times. I just say what I did wrong, and then people get less mad at me than when I lie about it or deny it.

I used to speak so honestly that it would hurt or offend some people. Now I know what's considered socially acceptable and follow that, except with people I'm very close to.

Yeah, I usually don't like lying.

You are very creative

Ever since I was in elementary school, people have always told me that I'm very creative, and I believe it's true. I have weird dreams at night, and I also spend a lot of time daydreaming.

I have Asperger's, and I'm not very creative, but most people with it are, so just remember that.

You usually have a normal or above normal IQ

I have taken 3-4 online IQ tests, and all of them have indicated an IQ somewhere in the 115-132 range.

You are very good at reading and have the potential to excel in grammar and spelling

I spell better than everyone in my grade and always end up with the spelling list for smart kids. You'd think that after 7-9 years of learning, they'd have learned how to spell properly, but no.

Yeah, I've always been pretty great at spelling. I also knew how to type properly even when I was 7. I didn't type Like This or liek dis.

In 2nd grade, I was doing 7th-grade spelling words.

You remember things better and in more detail

People often wonder how I'm able to remember certain dates in such specific detail. I think it helps that I also have grapheme-color synesthesia on top of my autism.

I often remember things very well - I'm very good at remembering the year a certain movie came out.
I also remember some things from my early childhood.

I do remember things well, but I have very bad short-term memory. I often can't remember my dreams either.

You focus more on details

I notice everything that's wrong: spelling errors, glitches, off-centered objects, marks on the walls - everything.

Many famous people have or had Asperger's Syndrome

Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Dan Aykroyd, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Robin Williams, the creator of Pokémon, and (possibly) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - the list goes on and on.

Let's not forget that the creator of Pokémon has autism.

You study facts

I study everything that interests me.

You are good at what you enjoy doing

I am very good at spelling, reading, and math. I am also pretty good at tennis, cricket, and softball. I am somewhat good at the ukulele, but I don't really enjoy playing it. I also have an odd way of learning languages. There will be a certain mental barrier for the first few weeks, but once it breaks, I memorize everything better than most other people.

The Newcomers

? You stay away from bad trends

So true. I'm 15, and I hate most things that are currently trending, including mom jeans (they looked terrible in the '80s and '90s and still look terrible in 2022), TikTok (a terrible and toxic website/app), and whatever else is popular among teen girls nowadays.

Bad trends: booty shorts (ugly), crop tops (ugly), makeup (dumb and sometimes creepy).

? You are more likely to be androgynous

I am a demigirl and wish this were true. If anyone wonders what this means, it means that I usually feel like a girl, but I also feel like neither a girl nor a boy. It feels like I have no gender at all. So you could say that I'm both female and non-binary.

The Contenders
You are talkative

It depends. I can be very quiet as well, and I can't always start a conversation by myself. I also think that I'm annoying and that I talk too much, which makes other people annoyed. This makes me feel awkward and guilty.

If your friends like talkative people and you know a lot, then this can lead to a very cozy experience. When I talk, I go on for a long time, but I can create a cozy atmosphere.

Very true, but sometimes my relatives get annoyed by it.

You are very original in your ideas

The stories I write can be very random at times, but they are very original in a good way.

You are very dedicated
You are an expert at video games

I killed the final boss in Resident Mind like 1000 times on a Roblox game called Hours!
