Good in a crisis? Accomplish herculean tasks in hyper-focus that would slay a neurotypical, or maybe see patterns or underlying stories in things others don't? I'm trying to balance the changes I must make with what I can celebrate! Thanks!

I'm quick to learn and can easily simplify complex topics and see things others don't. I'm also a sponge for knowledge 😉

In hyperfocus first, then almost at will, I see connections between seemingly disparate things in a single frame and know what could or should be done. When asked to explain how I got there, I could never walk them through my thought process or aha moments. I can't tell you how frequently that angered people and ended up on performance reviews.

I see things in behaviors and in the environment different from neurotypical s.

Yes, yes and yes! Abstract thinking is definitely on that list... also the processing time seems to be shorter with more amount of data then my neurotypical friends.
