| For me whats weird is that I was more girly when I was younger maybe till 8 or 9. Then I just stopped caring, and was neither. When I was 18-20 I was trying to find myself, I found myself becoming a tomboy. I sorta grew into being a tomboy which is funny cause for most girls are the opposite. Im str... |

| I find that claim to be somewhat bizarre. The aspie women I know all supposidly come off as innocent with a lack of sex and dating experiance. Or if they are promiscuous, hide the fact that they are. I dont know what societies standards of promiscuous and I dont know if I would be considered normal ... |

| I wouldnt say I am good at getting into a relationship but Im fairly decent at getting dates. And I have trouble making friends. This is my explanation for that. One, I get dates online which is a lot easier. I cant get dates in person. I suck at making connections in person, I'd perfer not get make... |

| It can be either way. Although for an adult, I'd suspect a patient led diagnosis would happen more often. For me, I was actually more of a doctor-led diagnosis as an adult. I was actually a senior in highschool, technically 18 tho. And I was turned into this psych for a diagnosis by the school couns... |

| I was wondering if you guys have to "work" in friendships, and the person your friends with has to "work" too. I recently had a falling out with a friend and one of the things he said, "hes never had to work this hard in a friendship before". For most people, friendships just exist. For me, I've alw... |

When I come into situations that have more than one variable, no straight answer, I get confused. For me, it can be its either right or its wrong. One that I was really hung u... |

| I guess Im different then everyone else. I mostly make friendships with meaning (or i think they have). Its hard for me to have superficial friends. I cant maintain acquintances very well. I dont really know what to do. I kinda have that all or nothing perception which makes things difficult at times. |

Is any aspie female here that is fond of heels (not even high heels?)
I went to a nice dinner last week and I wore 2 inch heels and my feet hurt like a b***h, I was stumbling around in them too. They were also very annoying because they shorten my stride and they werent even high. |

| Yeah I have very weak relations with my siblings. When I was a child, my relations were ok. Somewhere along the line, I started growing into adult, making huge changes, while my siblings were away in college and lost it with them. I seemingly have forgotten how to interact with them. Its a bit weird. |
