Remember who you were when you were seven years old. What you were then is a good indicator of who you can be/what you are.

We are who we believe we are.

I've read that girls are more social than boys with Asperger's, and psychiatrists don't take that into consideration.


That's pretty much it. It's much less obvious in girls, so many less get diagnosed, and it just goes diagnosed. Their brains are naturally more social so they're fine usually.

Wish that wasen't true though...
