I think these 5 traits more than describe you. Especially the creativity one. I was always interested in what cool thing you were doing with markers or when we had art class back in the day…

Yeah, I must be on the spectrum ’cause I’d be so happy to be complimented on any of those areas!

I’d like to add two more traits. How about being tenacious and succinct? The world does need people who can stick with a task through completion without adding heaps of useless chatter on top of the chore.
Tenacious is a better word than stubborn! And you’ve described my husband *exactly*.
