Did you find anything?
The site was a ~6000 year old cemetery just 10m from the ocean.. and we excavated just two pits no bigger than a compact car each. Very little artifacts (shells worked to become jewelry and combs, some netting made from local fibers, etc) but around 15 skeletons per pit.
... and lots of screening. I think I found about 20 something teeth and small bones (hand/foot bones) while sifting through it.
That's why I posted that pic. It struck me as odd even to myself that while everyone else put their screening stations next to the beach and next to each other to talk (and work really slow) mine was closer to the pits with access to water (for the screening) and no one around to chit chat and interrupt my work. There was plenty of time to talk on the boat ride back each day & I was the only one that apparently had the forethought to bring along a wineskin full of whiskey for the boat ride back

Ha, thanks! My best guess is that someone made a sudden movement next to me before the picture was taken, and I had to look.

i was apparently looking at flies in a window sill. i liked flies. i understood them.
i was told that until i was 14 years old, i paid more attention to flies than i did to people. flies were easy to predict. people were not.. good evening.

Not sure about aspie, but this is me geeking out and fooling around with the phone camera. I kind of have a Jack Nicholson thing going on there. Not sure if that's good or bad...
PS: I don't normally wear hats. I had just bought it that day at an Irish festival.

I'm really not sure whether girls with Asperger's are on average any better looking than boys are. I mean simply because there are a couple of pretty ladies posting pictures on here does not make this representative at all.
I mean, just generally, women seem more concerned with looking good in photos which are posted online than guys do. Of course, I might be wrong here, but that's just what it looks like to me. On here, on facebook, on pretty much every (social) interenet space I've ever been on. So, maybe it's simply that ladies try much harder to look hot or cute (whatever they may be either consciously or unconsciously aiming at) in the pictures they post than guys do. "Aww, you're really pretty, cute, etc." still is a rather important compliment for a lot of girls, at least when their being honest about it. That seems to be less a case with guys. Might have a lot to do with how we were brought up and how society still conditions girls to lay a lot of focus on looks (in themselves, as well as in others of the same (and possibly other) gender) and guys to focus more on abilities and skills (in themselves, as well as in other of the same gender). Sure, this is not an exclusive truth, it's merely an observation cencerning tendencies that are definitely there.
Thus, I'd argue that looks might actually be fairly evenly distributed among girls and boys who are (actually) on the spectrum. Girls might just be more selective in the photographs they keep, post on line resp. aim at displaying some very specific image (be it nerdy-cute, hot, shy-hot-cute, whatever) in photographs they consider showing who they really are resp. who they want to show to world via the interwebs.
Anyhow, that's just my two cents and I know that this is by no means true for all girls (women) resp. guys (men), but even with quite a few Asperger women on here it seems to be an issue/tendency.

Point in fact, I am female, have several of what I would consider particularly "aspie" photos of myself, but there's no way in HELL I'd post any of them.

I am not sure that this is necessarily an "aspie" issue, but I have a tendency to appear drunk, stoned, or otherwise intoxicated in many of my photographs (though I assure you that I am completely and utterly sober).
In every single official photo I have (drivers licence, passports, etc,) I always look incredibly stoned, although I never actually am.

That's me on the far left... saw nothing wrong with that outfit until the security guard told me I was violating the casino dress code! (They allowed it since it was a Tuesday and no one was really there except gambling addicts)

I spent a good year or two completely obsessed with wrapping everything in the house with yarn. I've since moved on to a passion for crochet.

I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. When you say on the far left, are you saying that from the point of view of the person viewing the photograph or from the people in the photograph's point of view? In other words, the guy in the jeans or the guy in shorts?

Yes! I am on the far right in the shorts! My perspective shifted a little bit

Nope, not aspie-related. It was at least 5 years ago, so I don't remember where I got it from (I only have a handful of possessions left from back then), but I know it was part of the "red" campaign, which made clothing for an AIDS charity.

Nevermind, I found one! I have a problem with having a little bit of a stone face. I wasn't unhappy when this photo was taken, but this is a good example of my "cold aspie stare" 
. It actually made me laugh when I found it, because I remember one of my friends saying something about how unsettling I looked in it, but I wasn't upset, honest.

You don't look unsettling at all. You look stunningly beautiful, intriguing and fascinating. You could play an angel in a movie, or an alien (this is a compliment
).
