I know a lot of people here don’t like the phrase “autism is a superpower” for a variety of reasons but honestly once I learned I was autistic I spent time learning how to navigate life with it and I’ve never been happier and more productive.

For me the disorder wasn’t the superpower, it was the diagnosis which made me much more aware of my strengths and weaknesses and I’ve been able to use that knowledge to practice improving my weaknesses and taking advantage of my strengths with no remorse

I don’t think it’s a superpower, I think it’s just a trait and learning you have it means you can navigate life better and healthier.

I think it’s more so a management plan for a chronic condition can be life changing. My old HS tutor has a kid who has severe autism, he will likely never speak, and had major struggles with everything, even just walking. People forget “has hobbies” isn’t the only kinda autism out there.
