Top 10 Best Things About Asperger's Syndrome

I have Asperger's 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

  1. Having 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.

  2. Being 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.

  3. Being 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.

  4. Having 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.

  5. Remembering 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.

  6. Being very good at reading and having 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.

  7. Focusing more on details

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

  8. Sharing traits with many famous people who 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.

  9. Studying facts

    I study everything that interests me.

  10. Being 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.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Staying 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).

  12. ?

    Being 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.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Being very 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.

  14. Being very original in your ideas

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

  15. Being very dedicated

  16. Being an expert at video games

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