@theautisticcoach@actuallyautistic When I was a kid (at least suspected of being #ActuallyAutistic -- in the 1980s when "actually autistic" meant "irrevocably broken", but that's a rant for another day), I had a grand total of one aspect of my neurodivergence that could plausibly have been called a "superpower". That was an ability to remember large amounts of factually related and connected information, and draw on it very quickly. Most of the rest of my #ActuallyAutistic characteristics were (and are) more kryptonite than superpower, at least in a society that isn't very accommodating to them.
This one "superpower" saved my ass all the time in school, and made most intellectual work through about a bachelor's degree a lot easier. But even that came with a few serious tradeoffs: lots of transactional, "hey can you help me with this?" sorts of relationships, people using this one skill to disregard area of my life where I needed support, and ending up in trouble in lines of work where this skill was important, but not the only thing that was necessary.
