3, 2, and 1.

finishing off my top ten, I am going to try to explain the rest of the list. #3. No organizational skills needed. this one is pretty self-explanatory. I don't know how to organize any thing really. I often times just mimic everyone else way of organizing. A few things might make it different, but over all, I just have to copy what every one else does, and then make it my own.

#2 Taking as much time as you need to do the little stuff. it's true that I take a lot more time then others to do things, but in the long run it helps because I set aside as much time as I need to get things done for myself. I sometimes get frustrated with myself about this, but in the end I know it's the best way to do things. Because of this I have taken more then ten years to get a Bachelors degree, however, in the long run, no one can discriminate that I didn't do it. Also, if it came down to it, I could also point out of the weaknesses I have, I could overcome them.

#1 calling people on living in there own world. A common misconception of being Autistic is that we live in our own worlds. I would like to clarify this. Every one in the entire world lives in there own world. Autistic people just have a harder time getting out of it, and making ourselves more relatable to every one else. keep in mind as well that because we live in our own worlds it does not mean that it a happy world, or that it is convenient in any way. For a long time we have been thought of as dumb, stupid, and retarded because we do not fit into the mold of what every one else has been able to accomplish. In an educational situation, many of us are star shaped blocks that people have tried to force into the shape of a triangle or square opening. I can guarantee I have felt dumb because of this comparison, and I am betting I am not the only one. The trouble with this is that there are certain parts of being in this group that others have tried to lump us into others. Like saying we fit into a group of dyslexic people or the ADD/ADHD spectrum, or the OCD scale. no one can fully define what being Autistic is. the only way I know how to explain it is just to say I think, act, learn and behave differently then others do. I know it exists because of certain outcomes that have happened in my life. This is a major reason why it took me so long to get a diagnosis.
