Male/Female ratios on various mental quirkiness forums
What are the male/female ratios on various mental quirkiness forums? I don't have direct experience with very many of them.
For example, what is the ratio here? What about other aspie forums (like aspies for freedom)? It seems that a lot of the aspie forums have more females than would be expected out of aspies, although male aspies are still definitely the vast majority.
What about the various social anxiety forums? I think I see females with social anxiety as dateable too, as they're often too scared of others to be substantially influenced by them. And social anxiety, in itself, does not present its patients with too much mental instability which could be damaging to relationships.
What of addforums? Most people with ADD seem to be very neurotypical otherwise, as ADD generally doesn't seem to be a strong barrier to friendship.
And what portion of females at the places above are generally dateable? By dateable, I mean, probably in the age range of 15-19, intelligent, single, and desirous of a relationship.
And what about other forums? Like depression ones? Or other mental quirkinesses? If I want a very intelligent girl who isn't socially influenced (who just wants an intimate relationship with one person and doesn't really want anything to do with anyone else), where is the best place for me to go? Places like okcupid and eharmony are horrible for finding intelligent girls.

Where do get the idea that Asperger's is a mental illness?

I apologize. It's just that I've seen other people who intentionally say things like that to cause offense and trouble in the forums. I should had read your whole post.
To answer your question, the statistics do seem to indicate that ASDs are more common in males. However, I don't know how accurate those statistics are.
