Swedish environmentalist Greta Thunberg has explained how the "gift" of living with Asperger syndrome helps her:
"It makes me different, and being different is a gift, I would say. It also makes me see things from outside the box. I don't easily fall for lies; I can see through things. I don't think I would be interested in the climate at all, if I had been like everyone else. "
