The famous climate activist Greta Thunberg hits back at her detractors by defining her Asperger condition as a superpower. Indeed having Asperger comes with a wide range of abilities and strengths:

• a capacity to see the world differently and therefore be creative and think outside of the box
• a tendency towards solving problems rather than satisfy the social or emotional needs of others
• a true honesty (meaning speaking their mind and being very direct)
• great attention to detail and a capacity to perceive errors that are not apparent to others
• a strong desire to seek knowledge, truth and perfection with a different set of priorities than others
• a strong sense of social justice
• a distinct sense of humour
