Mine are inborn. I'm a high-functioning autistic with high I.Q. I don't look at it as a disability, though. I've always told people, in my own words, that my condition to me is a liberation from the status quo, and I like to bask in it. I don't medicate either. As an aspiring journalist, I feel it would alter the chemicals in my brain a bit too much, and I would lose that creative "flow" in my own mind, and also with my partner.
