I'm somewhere in the middle. I tend to mirror others so when I'm around other extroverts I feel more confident. I love talking to people when I'm out, but it has taken a lot of work for me to get to that point and overcome social anxiety.

In my opinion, an extroverted aspie woman is the "off-the-wall yet fun" person that you are always happy to see. They are often pushed around by toxic females that are supposed to be their friend.

I would definitely be extroverted if I weren't autistic, as I love being around people.
As it is, though, my ability to socialise is limited and getting more so, as I need an inordinate amount of re-charge time.
It's easier on my nervous system to quietly read a book on my own.
I come out as strongly introverted on personality tests, which I think is more down to preferences I've developed from having to deal with my autism than to natural inclination.
