Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 My biggest asset: I am good in taking care of others without making them dependant on me. My biggest problem: putting in words what is going on in my mind. Has this been constant?: I like to think I am improving on that one : ) But hey... it could be much better ; ) Lida >Inger: " 1.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Questions for everyone: 1. What do you consider your biggest asset? My intelligence. 2. What do you have most problems/difficulties with? I have a lack of patience with anyone who is not at LEAST as intelligent as I am. 3. Have these been consistant or changing? What I learn tends to increase every day. My capacity to use what I learn (intelligence) stays the same over time. Impatience with people increases however. If I and someone else are exposed to the same information, and I learn from it and change my world view and the other person learns nothing and stays ignorant, I get very very impatient. My feeling is that while intelligence is somenthing you are born with, it can be developed over the time, both without effort and with hard, hard work. Most peope just seem to want a miraculous windfall of intelligence and make no effort to put two and two together, or to make the leaps in logic necessary to expand one's conception of things. Look at us. We are a thinktank. Someone says something. We weigh it against what we know, or ADD it to what we know...and we grow intellectually. But non-Aspies just seem to let facts go in one ear and out the other. Tom Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 " 1. What do you consider your biggest asset? " Mmmmmmm not sure if I should answer that one ;-) I think seriously probably my youthful side - it helps me get through this life not being too serious all the time and having a sense of wonder remaining intact. " 2. What do you have most problems/difficulties with? " I'm probably too trusting and always have been - perhaps naive in some respects - obviously I have difficulties with social situations and cannot read people very well face to face - or even the phone for that matter. " 3. Have these been consistant or changing? " I suppose these have always been pretty consistent, but I am now more aware of both how I present and how others hide theirselves. > > Questions for everyone: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 " Social issues much easier now that I'm older but problems with noise getting worse " Interesting you should say that - a lot of my sensory issues/problems feel as if they are getting more sensitive - I wonder if I was more used to them as a child? - did I zone out more? Or is life just getting more annoying, noisy and busy/crowded etc? I feel I have to retreat more now I am older, but did I zone out into my own world more as a child? I suspect that may have been the case. > > > > Questions for everyone: > > > > 1. What do you consider your biggest asset?

I had bad experiences in junior high but high school was a haven with the best friends I ever had. When it was gone, it was like my home, my foundation was ripped from me and I couldn't find a replacement. It took me years to get over it. I kind of wished I had had a bad time so that it could only go up from there, instead of only being able to go down from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
