One of the ways my autism affects me is I don't relate to many things the same way emotionally or incorporate things into my identity the way other people do. I think I wrote you a long reply when we first became mutuals touching on this.

Some benefits: - Able to move between social groups without being seen as an outsider. Incredibly easy to code switch as none are part of identity. - Able to hold conflicting viewpoints and ideas easier. - Many hidden social mechanisms are intuitive for me.

This is probably not the right place to ask but are these traits downstream of autism? I seem to resonate strongly with the first two pints here.
