I have a dual diagnosis and I know a lot about my weaknesses. I read a lot about autistic strengths but I feel most of those either don’t apply to me or they are negated by my ADHD.
For example I love making todo lists but following them needs extreme amounts of willpower. I’m good at analytical thinking but my lack of working memory and my distractability make it hard to do anything with that…
Are there any non obvious strengths I could look for?
Passion. For me its being passionate for thinks i really love: My Friends, Family Sometimes and most of all current projects aka current Hyperfixations. And a big one: my Job, it’s a real saver when you found the thing you can work at every day and still being hyper passionate about, even after many years. Hope that gives a perspective.
