A certain uniqueness and personality that is difficult to find in NTs (at least from my experience)

All of the obsessions and special interest category minus the social and communications difficulties. It about breaks even with a definite edge for the better as long as people are not making life too difficult.

Things about life that you learn through the hardships of asperger i wouldnt want to miss out on those. I feel like i am way older then my friends in this area but on others im years behind. The problems that first aroze when being a teenager push you to do major introspection and ask yourself lots of questions about yourself and the outside world. This is an indirect effect which i could see happening with many other disorders too. Basicly if everythings just fine you dont question and if you dont question you dont grow as a person and spiritually.
