Aspie girls just wanna have fun?

I discussed something with a person once, and a woman said "COME ON, IT'S FICTION and NOT REAL!"! WE KNEW THAT!

Excellent post. I consider the gender of the individual to cause a different expression of autism as it causes a different expression of neurotypical behaviour in NTs.

Interesting! I would say all descriptions fit me to a T. There is one exception though...I did lash out against others. But only after being provoked, I never started a fight. I did usually end up ending it. All I wanted was peace & respect. There have been many who couldn't understand that until they pissed me off. LOL

Me too

My imaginary friends are part of my family. My mom and brother and even my dad go along with talking about my imaginary friends as though they're real people. I know what you mean about "understanding" them - Another reason I adore my imaginary friends is because once I get a good feel for their personalities, they stay that way and never change and don't reveal things about themselves that I didn't already know.

Real people are terribly confusing... There's always more to people than you think there is, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the person.

If you feel like you can handle the weirdness, you most certainly can.

The club doesn't do anything in particular, but you can say you belong to it to seem mysterious to the other WP members.

I'm sorry if you feel I've been stereotyping; these aren't deep beliefs of mine. I just wanted to see what all you guys would say if I threw it out there.

Inventor, I love ya, but I have no idea what you're trying to say. Try again, and this time give a brief explanation of just who Tony Atwood is.

Interesting point there about them not changing and revealing things about themselves. My characters will often have more about their story or their interests come to light as things progress - I'll learn the reason for this or that part of their personality and such later on. But one other person who created characters noted, with annoyance I might add, that my characters never "matured" - There was what they were like earlier, and what they were like now, but once I made them a certain way, they didn't change much, personality or action-wise. But I preferred it that way - so often in movies and books, I find a character I really like, and then they'll change that character in a way that makes me not able to relate to them anymore (usually making them "normal" and in line with social expectations) and it makes me sad. Besides, the world moves too fast as is - people who were my friends and would never leave me one day betray and abandon me the next, and I don't understand why. At least my own characters can be constants for me - if they change, it's because I'm ready for them to, and I will still understand and be able to connect with them.

Oh, and about Spokane Girl's comment - The assumption that just because one talks about something/someone a certain way they have to be somehow disconnected from reality is quite annoying. I'd much rather say, for convenience's sake and just because it sounds less awkward, "___ HAS blue eyes and LIKES donuts" than use a more hypothetical wording of "___ WOULD HAVE blue eyes and WOULD LIKE donuts," or however I'm expected to talk about my own characters. I mean, I can imagine how annoying it would be if screenwriters and novelists had to write things in that format just so their audiences were sure that they could distinguish between what's real and what's not. Quite impractical.

Right on the money, MissPickWickian. Your teacher should write a text book on the subject. I have observed these differences in myself to some extent. I couldn't believe my eyes reading this! Escaping into a make believe world to escape social issues could not describe my childhood any better! The obsessions with animals and literature, so true! I liked science, (later in college, not in grade or secondary school) but ofttimes math and logical thinking were difficult for me, as was following directions.
All I wanted to do in grade school was read books of my choosing, draw pictures of princesses, horses and Pagesus making up stories to go along with them.
For the first time someone else has addressed the differences I have wondered about. Didn't think to chalk it up to my gender.

Whenever I make a new imaginary friend, it's always: "I know you like the back of my hand and I love you. Now you're my best friend forever and I never want you to change!" And it stays that way for a long time: usually months, sometimes even years. I hate how people in the real world change - all the people I thought I knew and liked back in junior high/elementary school might as well be strangers to me now. In a way, that makes me pretty sad; especially since I don't feel like I've changed all that much (even though my mom says I have). But at least the folks in my head will always be around: same age, same appearance, same personality, same bond with me.

I somewhat agree, but I was definitely a lasher. Morbid... does laughing at horror films and signing up for Anatomy/Phisiology simply for the off-chance of getting to cut up dead stuff count?

I lash out still but only when I'm provoked or when I see someone else not defending himself/herself.
Still, I am really into literature and animals and I loove guys who are into math and science. A love shy paradox.

This is true for me, I would drift into imagination quite frequently since I was 10. My imagination comes and goes depending whether or not I was in constant contact with friends.



Thats defiently not true for me. I HATE literature, I've even come to point where I cant read fiction. My mom has tried a million times to get me to read, doesnt work. All I read is nonfiction unless its required. I've always had an interest in math and science not an obsession though.



Yeah, I rarely lashed out when I was a kid. Though strangly enough, I will mildly lash out now just within the last 1.5 years after I turned 18. Ive had to learn to control that, so now I will try to control myself while bursting inside. I have no idea, its confusing.



Im not exactly sure what this means. 1. I do lack empathy in certain circumstances and I also have a difficulty showing it when I do have empathy. 2. I do seek out emotional stimulation mainly cause I was soo lonely, I had to learn to stop doing that after screwing up. 3. While I've had some mild interest in punk and goth, and occationally thought it was "cool" to have morbid interest. In reality, I dont have morbid interest. 4. What is WP Auschwitz girls club?



Hmm yeah obsessions have been one of my biggest problems.

Everything you said fits me perfectly. Also, I thought everyone knew this??? Or at least it's what i've always heard.

There is a poem that says;



OH, if that were true! I mean I am not like it says boys are and, thankfully, most AREN'T! But likewise, girls aren't always so nice. Some females now PROUDLY proclaim they can be as rauncy, etc..., as the WORST male! UNREAL! That is NOTHING to brag about.

So women are placed on a pedestal that NONE can live up to 100% and some would do everything to AVOID 100%!

Yes, I did like reading, still do. Obsession with animals? Nope, don't relate at all. I was good at maths and sciences at school, regularly scoring the highest exam mark in the whole year. And then I studied electrical and electronic engineering for a year.
