Interesting. A lot of these definitely rang true for me, but there were also a few that didn't strike me as very gender-specific or exclusive to the female Aspie experience (such as sensory issues, which is a pretty widespread problem among Aspies in general). Some of the ones I really identified with:
"May be a self-taught reader, been hyperlexic as a child, and will possess a wide variety of other self-taught skills as well"
I started reading when I was 3 and was often described as being pretty precocious, so I would say this one fits pretty well. Can't think of anything else where I was self-taught, though.
"Can be very passionate about a course of study or job, and then change direction or go completely cold on it very quickly"
Yep. Changed my major several times before I finally settled on history, which held me back from graduating for two years.
"Highly intelligent, yet sometimes can be slow to comprehend due to sensory and cognitive processing issues"
Definitely, especially if I'm in a loud and crowded place and am having issues with trying to filter out all the noise. My mind also does this thing sometimes where it jumbles up the meaning of what was just said or forgets to process parts of it, even though I heard everything loud and clear- have this problem on the phone all the time.
"Will not do well with verbal instruction- needs to write down or draw diagram"
I think this one's an issue for the same reason that the previous one is. I also have ADD, so maybe that plays a part as well?
(I'll save myself some time with the third column and say that virtually all of those apply to me, ha)
"Can be very shy or mute"
I've been painfully shy for pretty much my entire life, although I've never had any issues with mutism. I do become extremely withdrawn when under a lot of stress or anxiety in a way that can resemble mutism, though.
"Like her male counterpart, will shut down in social situations once overloaded, but is generally better at socializing in small doses. May even give the appearance of skilled, but it is a "performance"
I've learned to compensate for my social deficits reasonably well, so when I first meet a person it might not be apparently obvious that something is a little bit off with me. The longer I socialize though, the more I start to crack and feel the need to retreat. The description of it feeling like a "performance" is spot on, as I feel like I'm merely going through the motions of proper social protocol as opposed to it coming to me naturally.
"Will have a close friend or friends in school, but not once adulthood is reached"
The older I've gotten, the more reluctant I've been to form close relationships with people, which means that my social life has dwindled a lot over the years. I think a lot of this has to do with my social anxiety and fear of rejection.
"Due to sensory issues, will either really enjoy sex or strongly dislike it"
I find any sort of physical intimacy to be really soothing and comforting, so sex has never been a problem for me.
