| I can be myself with my husband. He has some AS traits, although maybe not at a clinical level. I am also close to my sister and mom. Both of them show possible AS traits, too. Maybe that helps! |

| I have always had people tell me I look a lot younger than I am. I have also had people tell me I always look mad or ask me what is wrong when I feel fine. I have the issue of not smiling with my eyes. I am female, but I guess I don't really "fake it" very well. |

My mom knows because she helped me make a list of things I did as a kid for the psychiatrist. I have also told my sister, mother-in-law, and the mother of one of my daughter's friends. Sh... |
