being an overachiever

calling total strangers.

Writing ridiculous stories that make people laugh.

… Writing and posting satirical news stories (a la "The Onion") on social media that leave many of my NT friends scratching their heads and wondering if it's actual news.

Being in a successful cover band

Winning a Senior Academic Prize

Having my artwork exhibited in art galleries, museums, and a solo show ...
as well as selling my art internationally.

...

That's awesome! What kind of art do you make?

I don't know why, but I can't seem to get motivated to submit my photography to art shows and the like. Part of the problem is that I balk at some of the popular trends in photography today (in a world of HDR, my favorite medium is film). I think the biggest hurdle is the paperwork and processes involved to get my work seen, when I'd rather be out shooting.

...having some really good friendships throughout my life.

Wishing I could serve as a good liaison between academically-oriented people and anecdote/experiential-oriented people.

listening to others, and learning to respect and appreciate different views. It is difficult, but difficult is not the same as impossible.

"Asperger's did not stop me from..."

being a confident and outgoing person (oh wait, yes it did)
making good conversation with people who talk to me instead of just saying "Yeah." or "No." (sorry, that's not right)
having a friendly, genuine personalty (my bad, it actually did)
making people feel confident around me (actually, that's incorrect)
holding a positive outlook on life (I mean a negative one)

I say this to make you guys laugh - not to make anyone feel bad about themselves!
(even if this is all true about myself)
