I was diagnosed in 3rd grade after my parents heard about Aspergers from a friend (who is in charge of special services in my school) and Thought "That sounds alot like my son." And sure enough, I was confirmed to have it.
So as for my advantages:
1) Excellent Linguistics and speaking (my english teacher likes)
2) Obsession over the military (mostly firearms, tactics, and equipment), classic US cars (1951-1994), and video games (shocking
3) Extreme loyalty
4) "Never-back-down" attitude
5) Great interest in music
6) getting better at making friends. Although, +70% of them also have aspergers or autism.
7) Photographic memory. I remember pictures better than words.
8) High pain threshold
Now, for disadvantages:
1) Difficulty reading more complex body language
2) Problems with abstract reasoning like math (although I am good at Economics and statistics)
3) Dragging my feet when walking
4) Trouble stepping outside my comfort zone
5) "Never-back-down" attitude
6) Trouble understanding figures of speech I have never heard before
