Many people are aware that autism comes with unique needs and challenges. Some are not aware that it also comes with noticeable gifts.
Autism is not all bad, nor all beautiful, just like any other way of being. Whether you are an autistic person searching to accept yourself, a loved one who wants to support the autistic people in their life, or a curious bystander, here is how to learn the benefits of autism and what autistics have to offer.
1 Recognize the passion and expertise that comes from special interests. Hans Asperger referred to his patients as “little professors” due to their expertise on their favorite topics. Special interests give autistic people focus and direction in their lives, and they can enjoy something deeply.
2 Consider observation skills. Autistic people are often detail-oriented, and thus notice things that others don’t,[1][2] whether it is a problem with the robot the group is building or the way the sunrise lights up the clouds.

4 Observe enhanced helpfulness. Many autistic people have a high sense of social responsibility, or feeling responsible for helping others. As a result, many autistic people are caring and eager to give others a hand when needed.
5 Recognize superior memory. Autistic people may have better memory, both related to facts about their special interests, and recalling events from the past.
7 Look for appreciation of the arts. Whether it means sketching colorful portraits, loving to dance, or enjoying theater, many autistic people have a special connection to various artistic fields.[12][13][14] Some have natural “savant skills,” meaning that they demonstrate incredible abilities with little or no practice, while others gain talent through focused practice. Some prefer to enjoy art, rather than to create it.

9 Notice the unique perspective. While non-autistics often struggle to “think outside the box,” autistic people barely know where the box is. Autistic people think differently, and are motivated to explore the world around them,[16] which can lead to original and innovative ideas.[17]
This can be useful for problem solving. An autistic person may come up with a solution that others would miss.
Some autistic people tell very funny jokes because of unique thinking.
