I have a dual diagnosis and I know a lot about my weaknesses. I read a lot about autistic strengths but I feel most of those either don’t apply to me or they are negated by my ADHD.

For example I love making todo lists but following them needs extreme amounts of willpower. I’m good at analytical thinking but my lack of working memory and my distractability make it hard to do anything with that…

Are there any non obvious strengths I could look for?

    You are correct. In hindsight, monotropism would have been a better lense to paint this picture through than executive function, but I think we still ended up in the same place. Never hurts to clarify for future readers, though.

    Your second paragraph sums up nicely what I was trying to convey.
