Do you have any autistic superpowers? What are they?  Unlike some autistic kids, I’m one of the lucky ones who can speak. However, I tend to have a short fuse, but I don’t show the anger that often. Often my mind is creative. I also have a great memory, so I can remember my past. What are some situations that make you happy,…
