Are there big differenes between female and male aspies?

The list you posted is a summary of the chart... All the stuff you relate to on the list are in the chart, too.

The chart also has the existance of stimming, sensory issues, and such though. The chart is a description of traits associated with females, not traits associated with females that are different from those associated with males. The latter is explicitly the differences between the average aspie female and average aspie male.

And yes, I counted those in the <30 that I associate with as well. I was more pointing out that the traits associated with females don't always occur in females, as I associate with 4 of the 12 differences and am a diagnosed female. Of the traits I associate with on the chart of traits that occur in females, many of them that I associate with occur in both males and females and aren't thought of as female specific.

I think that the differences between male and female autistics have been exaggerated. I don't think that there are big differences between male and female autistics.

Ah, ok. Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything, I just wasn't understanding and pointed it out in hopes of a better explanation. I understand what you mean now, thanks

Oh - my link did work then?!

You just had an extra / before the url, remove that and it worked .

D'oh!

This describes me exactly.

Wow, I relate to almost all of those. I have learned more about myself by being here within the last week than I have in years.
