I'm a gal with AS, Tourettes and self diagnosed ADHD (they don't like diagnosing adults!). I am mainly visual. I used to be a great artist until I developed an RSI in my drawing hand :( Too much SNES as a child! Now I play piano and I have an obsession with animals, mainly the fuzzy ones :)

I love cats... It's not my obsession, but it's a goal of mine to become a crazy cat lady, if that counts! :P I also play the piano, I'm sorry about your drawing hand. :(


And female aspie here too.

*add me to the list*

There seems to be quite a few here despite the statistics of females with AS being rare. :U
I don't think I've ever met another female with AS offline. Cool there's so many AS girls here. :P

I am a female diagnosed with aspergers, ocd, ads and anorexia though I don't controll what I'm eating anymore (but I did it for many years) but I find it difficult to feel if I am hungry and go and prepeare a meal. I look very androgynous but people say that they are fascinated by it and others say that I'm too skinny for a woman. Don't feel like a woman but like a child.

Don't have Aspergers, but have PPD-NOS which is on the autism spectrum.
