Wow! Thanks to everyone! I was really quite surprised to have received so many posts.

Alot of the up-sides I have been noticing have been to do with the B&W thinking aspect of this disorder. I should note that I am not always so aware, but when I have time to contemplate, I notice things like this:

When I am not personally involved in a situation, I can see both sides to a story quite clearly. That doesn't mean I can and do stay neutral, though I do vacillate from side to side. And, it's not to say that one side is considered black (i.e. bad) or white (i.e. good), per se, but having this ability seems to allow me to see both sides much deeper than those whose convictions are solidly placed on one side of an argument or another.

Sometimes, I may go a bit to far in my thinking. For me, I always take it to the max, but if I can maintain a sense of logic, it is hard not to empathize with both sides.

For me, this is GREAT! I say this because I think with my personality, I would always have hard-core convictions on any given matter. And it's almost impossible to be hard-core about anything when one can see both ends of the spectrum.

Does anyone feel the same in this instance?

More to follow (not taking the chance of being "timed out" again).
