I’m interested in your comment that Asperger’s is “Botha blessing and a curse.” In what ways is it a blessing?

I ask because I’ve come to realize that my dear friend must have a mild form of Asperger’s, which has negatively affected her personal and professional lives and has left her quite unhappy as a result, despite her bright mind and many talents. She is clueless socially and terribly disorganized. I’d like to hear about the blessings.
