The medication I am on to stay alive puts more than half of its' users into a wheelchair. Some, because o... |

| I can talk about my special interests for a very long time and with great passion. I usually don't go on about it if others are not interested in it. I am also very protective of my special interests, I don know if others are like this too, but if I know that someone else does not like my interest I... |

| I do much better with physical pain than emotional pain. I am very very sensitive to emotional pain but have a bit more tolerance for the physical. |

| I was typically social as a toddler. My mum says that looking back , nobody would have even guessed that I had AS or anything, not even a professional neurologist. It wasn't until I started school was when all my AS symptoms all came out at once. with girls AS is often missed because females develo... |

| Like... 85%, maybe? The trouble is that these are very general traits. I think, if you gave the list to the average NT of any gender, you would still get at least two-thirds agreement, and the only ones that Aspie girls would agree with more are ones specifically related to social skills problems, ... |

Nothing out of propertion though. I have a big head for a girl. Thankfully it's in proportion too though. :D My index and ... |

| I can't do anything fancy with my hair. I can do a reverse French Braid, just one down the middle of the back of my head or I just do a ponytail but that is about it. I can match clothes well though and even though I don't dress to impress I can look good and I can dress my husband pretty well. I sh... |

| I was thrilled last summer when I was talking to this college student and she thought I was a young twenty something! That is really exciting since I am in my 40's! I act, think and speak a lot younger than my physical age a lot too so people very rarely think I am the actual age that I am. |

In fact it was accurate enough that I will use these questions to help my psychiatrist who is putting together an unofficial d... |
