People tend to focus on the negative but there's so many "symptoms" we have that are brilliant! What are yours?

I think I ended up with a far better grasp of my own internal environment than a neurotypical person just because of my inability to let inconsistencies go, you know? I couldn't ignore things just because it's convenient.

I also have slowly found out that I'm probably much more creative than the norm, because I misunderstood what "writer's block" meant. I thought it was when you just .. couldn't bring yourself to write, but now I know it's another thing entirely for many neurotypical people.

A blank page is no intimidation at all, provided I can align the spheres of the heavens towards motivation.
