– The strengths of the Autism –
Autistic Spectrum Condition, also known as ASC, is a neurodiverse condition that affects the way that a person communicates. This is the same situation for people who suffer from Asperger’s syndrome.
A person with ASC is going to experience colours with more vibrancy, feelings with more intensity, and sounds with more attention. They are also highly focused and can handle numbers with ease.
These are some of the reasons why people with autism tend to gravitate towards professions in music, painting, and programming.
Some of the most remarkable strengths of ASC include:
- Tenacity and a sense of honesty and ethical behaviour
- Ability to create patterns and find patterns
- Ability to process information faster
- Ability to retain information with ease
The following are some of the struggles people with ASC deal with:
- Having difficulties with the process of following instructions that are not clearly defined.
- Difficulty handling too many social interactions during the day
- Becoming obsessed with details and getting stuck in their workflow
