New Video: Girls and Women with Asperger's Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Whitetiger, it's amazingly beautiful and it's so much who I was as a girl! I'm going to post it in my new blog: Asperger Women Association - Israel Chapter Please visit me there!

You have the best taste in music I know, too. What's playing?

Wow! I'm honored. Thank you so much!

The music is harp music from Gypsy Minstrel. In my other videos, I use Tina Dico and Imogen Heap a lot. They're some favorites of mine.

I think it's so cool that my video matches your background. Is there any way I could start an Oregon branch of the Asperger's Women Association? I would love to work on that if there's not one already.

Oh, I only now see these posts. Of course, contact Sharon (her email address is in the comments on my blog). I already told her about you, good things

I love harp music, and it's so rare that there's any around. I'll try to get the CD, thanks!

I think it's very interesting and true that simply being female may mean that even though we are females with AS, we are still somewhat predisposed to have more social/verbal interests.

I did not really have imaginary friends in the usual sense. I did have a few for short periods of time, but I either copied them from other places - two, for instance, came from stories I had read about children with an imaginary friends - or compiled lists of information about them without playing with them; they were never 'real' to me in the way some children's imaginary friends are. I maintain that it's partially because, although the belief that people with AS have a lack of imagination is certainly not true for everyone, it is to an extent for me. I have always had immense trouble conjuring things up from nowhere in my mind. I did, though, from quite an early age, develop obsessions with TV shows and movies and I think that, in some respects, the characters became my 'imaginary friends'.

I have a fantasy world now in my imagination that's comforting and relaxing to think about if I'm upset and that's put together from a mixture of different TV shows and characters.
