Speak of the Devil...

You will be unable to post links until you have posted at least 10 times on this website. This is to keep spammers from clogging the fora with junk.

I too have been professionally diagnosed. Having a professional diagnosis does not give one license to diagnose others. I suggest that you leave the creation of diagnostic tests to the appropriately-trained and licensed mental-health professionals.

Oh, and welcome to WrongPlanet.

Penelope is such a nice name. I like Phoebe, too.

Hi. It's Penelope here. Thank you for taking a look at the blog post I wrote.

The blog post contains more than fifteen links to support the assertions I make. I think links don't show up on this forum. Based on the discussion here, you will be particularly interested in the first three links which talk about why women with Aspergers seem like neurotypical men.

Finally, I'm was professionally diagnosed. So were my son and and father. That doesn't really matter for the above links, but in case I end up commenting again, I thought I'd clear that up.

Welcome to wrong planet Penelope. I am the original poster of this thread who gave your blog a mixed review.
We have a wide variety of aspie/autistic people here (including many middle aged women). We also have people who suspect some sort of ASD, as well as neurotypicals. I think reading this site and discussing autism with us will give you a broader view of autism/autistics which will be useful to your readers.

I agree with everything on the test except the math part. I’m as good or better at math than most Aspie males! (Not bragging just being honest.)

It says in there being a sex worker...ha.

I’m an adult entertainer. Yes, it easy because I just pretend to like men.

The problem is when I’m trying get out of the industry I was honest about my adult work and didn’t realize its okay lie about it to protect myself from polite society.

I thought I outgrew my Aspergers. I got an e-mail about the new site and I’m happy to be back. I really need help.

You can find coping strategies for Aspergers, learn to handle its stresses better but Aspergers is not something one can grow out of.
