. . . (omitted) . . . WP is skewed to a 50:50 male/female participation rate, which makes me wonder if the analysts who propose a 1/10 ratio for male /female dx
of Aspergers really know what they are doing.
I personally think it's just the case that we're not as well diagnosed. Research shows that both men and women feel that women talked more than men if they talked as much as men, which effectively shows how our cognition decieves us. On this point I agree with you, Alex the founder of this site (I saw his comments to that effect earlier somewhere), and Jerry Newport (he suggested a reason in his book 'M & W' but I'm too lazy to quote).
The answer that stuck in my head is that, females being more socially sympathetic to start with, stick out less and protect/support each other more sucessfully,
but mostly,make the acquisition of social skills a life-long ambition and priority,
through observation and mimicry (watching soap-operas,becoming fanatical fashion divas etc).
The application of an Aspy's intensity to 'fitting in'.

This is actually a razz.Hold your cursor over it and a second later it will say 'razz'
Here's a real smiley for you;
I did find the speech bubble that says razz earlier on but didn't know the word. I did think it odd that it had a 'P' in the BBCode and 'P' looks more like a tongue sticking out. This time I finally googled and found that it means 'harass with persistent criticism or carping'. Is this sort of a grey area thing that you interpret depending on the situation (as if I was born yesterday but never mind)? Or is that red bit actually a tongue and it's not smiling at all just sneering?
On WP it's used almost exclusively in jest, for fun, not sneering, but yes you do have to interpret depending on the situation.Yes, you are poking your tongue out at someone.
