Oddly, I matched all of those except for maybe one, but I haven't been diagnosed with AS.

Wow, thanks for that list. Almost all of it fits me. It's interesting to finally see something about female aspies.

That's a great list. I don't know how true this is about aspie females in general, but it fits with me as well.

I had been doubting the likelihood (spelling error?) of myself having AS because I didn't have all of the commonly listed symptoms on other websites, but perhaps most of those were more for males? Because almost every single trait on this particular table is true for me. Perhpas I should seek a proper diagnosis now. Thanks for posting that.

I'm really not sure in which context they are using the word, so i don't know which definition it applies to.

Oh! In that case I'm not sure I agree. I am definitely a trainspotter, myself. So is my mom. So is my sister. And we outnumber my AS dad and my AS brother.

Pretty spot on. I (at first intentionally, now almost automatically) suppress physical "stims" (loathe that word) and physicality- I can cope with being thought cold, but not clumsy.
Also grooming, -well I'm a bt of a slob at home, but like an actor backstage, thats the *off-duty* me.

Wow, I'm a textbook case too. I, especially, liked that they included the part about balancing male/female roles or thinking of oneself as both in a way. And the part about comfortable clothing and not doing "girly" things with other women.

It's strange, I used to think that a lot of those things were accounted for by my being a lesbian. But in the past few years, and my one and only experience with a relationship, I'm beginning to rethink things. I think it has a lot more to do with my sensory issues than I thought it did.
