What is the most comprehensive list of symptoms that you have found that you would use when you are trying to explain AS to someone?

I haven't found a good bulleted type of list of symptoms that I felt resonated well enough, but I did find most helpful is a blog that goes over numerous aspects of what Asperger entails... And since I can't post links (haven't been here long enough), go to insideperspectives dot wordpress dot com.

Hope it helps you out too :)

Love your list, keerawa! The part about female traits was very interesting too.

The thing that helped me the most was the "You Might Be an Aspie if;..) on this page. Seeing how everyone translated the DSM-IV description into their various traits, I was able to do the same and so recognize what were AS traits and what was just goofball traits.
