hi guys, this might sound rather silly but i made this account to ask what aspergers actually is in females.

i'm 16, and i've suffered from anxiety and depression. but not really any more.
(please ignore my horrible grammar and punctuation i am incredibly tired)
anyway i just found out from my mother (around a week ago) that my psychologist, psychiatrist and doctor strongly believe theres a chance i might have very high functioning aspergers.

um. i don't really know what to ask. i guess like i said, what is asperger's? the information online is so conflicting. i understand that there is a huge spectrum and many different.. symptoms or whatever you call them, but i was just wondering if you guys could maybe tell me a bit about it?

i'm not really shy, i actually have a lot of friends. i was in the "popular group" at my old school but i've always struggled.. saying the right things.
actually i wouldn't call it struggling, i guess i'm just. i have no clue. no i haven't struggled but i've always been a little, different. thought differently, responded "wrong" i guess to certain situations. i need alone time. i hate large groups if they're all talking at once.

i get really obsessed with tv shows. (does that count as an "aspie" obsession? because i get reallly obsessed as in that is all i can think about and every part of a conversation i manage to relate to whatever tv show i love) i don't know i guess i'm probably reading too much into stuff after finding this out. i'm really confused right now.

actually people think i'm shy i just forget to talk sometiems, and other times i can't stop, i talk over everyone and i ramble and ramble.

i don't have problems with eyecontact.

when i think i tend to zone out. and when i read. and when i watch tv. and when i am on the computer. but i really mean zone out as in when i'm reading sometiems you can yell in my ear and i wont hear . i've read about peopel with aspergers getting really focused on things.

sometimes i think so loud that i completely miss conversations, i'll continue a conversation with a person in my hhead and completely miss the "real conversation" and then they'll just sigh because its a "me" thing to do.

i feel like as i'm writing this it's as though i'm trying to "prove" that i have it or somethign, thats not it i'm just seriously just rambling. sorry. i'll stop.

SO YEAH WHAT IS ASPGERS WHAT ARE SOME SYMPTOMS IN GIRLS HOW WOULD YOU "DESCRIBE IT", also hi.

You might be better posting this thread in General Autism Discussion, the archetype for it in females is different than it is in males so it's difficult to tell because we aren't really qualified to give you a professional diagnosis.

Anyway welcome to Wrong Planet and I hope you enjoy it here.

Beyond the generalities, of communication difficulties & so on, which you must have found, I'm afraid I couldn't say that much about what AS means for males, let alone females! However, welcome - but I shot the puppy, anyway, lol.

welcome to WP!

I've got a weird sense of humour!

No more puppies will die tonigh.
And well, what you are describing sounds similar to Aspergers. The question is, if you have it, what are you going to do?

I'm on a puppy killing spree
Yes, probably Aspie, OP.

Welkome to WP

Would you like your puppy death/non-reply ratio in milliseconds since you posted?

Why must you make a murderer out of me?
