Positivity.
And not about autism as such, about you, about how you are and you as a person which obviously might/will include autism but everyone's more than a word.
For example I really love that I get complete joy and wonder over sparkly and squishy toys that cost next to nothing and that my favourite smell in the world is crayola crayons. And I like that lights calm me down, and that I can always bare the touch of my dog. |

I get to see the cold clear water running over the rocks in the creek as the streambanks change with the seasons.
And that weird way the light sometimes gets early in the morning and late in the afternoon, when the contrasts are incredibly sharp, and everything seems to glow.

| Cool topic. (Oh cute avatar I LOVED HERCULES!) I love how I love to learn why most other students in College seemed stress.) Plus I am able to apply my love of Psychology to other school topics. example:instead of answering a short story as that person was sad. I'd think Psychology wise that person was depressed and suicidal and need psychological help. It AMAZED my english teacher she's like WHERE DID YOU THINK OF THAT!! LOL! |

I love the fact I love nature and can easily learn the names of all my animal and plant friends and facts about them.

I love my...
- creativity
- resourcefulness
- original thought
- genuine caring
- ability to enjoy the things I like very deeply, and be moved by them, to almost ecstasy.
- sense of humor; I make myself laugh
- skill at complex analysis and insight
- full mastery of 3 languages at mother tongue level
- resiliance, ability to be myself against all odds and with nobody's help
- ability to find small things to enjoy in life even in the hardest of times
In fact, seeing this list, I'm surprised nobody likes me

I love about me that I hear music in the way I do. I love about me that music feels like a landscape, a motion that I must give into and that moves my mind on all levels.
I love that sometimes, I can be a master strategist. Though I can't force myself to be, get brain fog often, I totally adore the single moment with its intense focus that keeps me in and the thrilling kick by putting me into complete control of the situation.

> My languagegasms. Seeing anything written in a foreign language, especially one that I only half understand, is bliss.
> My originality. Okay, so we're all going to say that we're original and unique and not at all like anybody else who's ever lived. But I'm odd in a good way, I promise.
> My sharp wit. Unfortunately, it also tends to be a bit slow. Can't win 'em all.
> My ability to pick up on things that everyone else misses. If I was a space rocket designer, I would be the one to realise that there's a giant circular hole in the hatch. Luckily for humanity, I am not a space rocket designer.

I love being able to grasp hard concepts and ideas in Astronomy and other sciences that most people don't even bother trying to learn due to their complexity.
I also love the moments of pure focus and insight that the stars bring me when I'm outside observing. |

I love my strong mind, and the fact that I have a connection with the lord, and still have a lot of contact with people whom passed away like my father and brother. I also love the wisdom I have, like I lived over a 1000 years. Last thing I love about me is that I'm cute looool.

Good topic
- my tenacity
- my insights
- my problem solving skills
- my ability to literally and figuratively pick myself off the ground after a tumble and keep going.
- my creativity
- my ability to see things in my mind, and make real those things with my hands.
- that I can see the beauty in an approaching storm (thunderstorms can turn the sky such a beautiful green in the summer)
- that I have not lost that sense of childlike wonder and playfulness, even though others have tried to take it away from me on more occasions than I can count.
