Thank you pinnygig :D

Will try to read those writers you mentionned.

I was stating the fact : I never met an aspie girl, which is true. Maybe not an absolute reality since as an observer I might have ignored some.

I am grateful, you girls posted a comment; but I cannot certifie your diagnosis atm, it takes time.

Just because you haven't met any of us doesn't mean that we don't exist.

Hmm, from my perspective you don't exist since I never met any of you in reality.

Let's use an analogy, shall we?
I am not able to see Pluto because I don't have a telescope, It doesn't imply planet Pluto does not exist "en soi".

But the statement "I never saw Pluto" is correct.

Maybe I could accept the existence of Pluto, If I am told by some scientist I trust, that Pluto exists and next he proves it to me.
Or maybe if I buy a telescope.

To come back to the female aspie interrogation.
I never met an Aspie girl.
I don't trust any psychiatrist, I don't trust any test.
I don't see psychiatry as a science.
I will read Pinnygig's books tho.

I tend to think of myself more as a super practical hard muscled peasant who wouldn't take maltreatment lying down... lets not overgeneralize here ;)

Aspie girls exist but they are hard to spot among crowds(same goes for aspie boys).
I met quite a few when I was going to metups at the place where I was diagnosed so perhaps you should try to find as metups around your area and see for yourself that aspie girls do exist.

Having said that they are not that different from nt girls and dont expect to get along well with all of them just because they are aspies as you.

I've never met an Aspie girl but then again I don't know how to find one since I don't know what makes an Aspie girl an Aspie girl if that makes any sense?

I don't know their characteristics so they could be just flying over my head, any Aspie girl who lives in the south of United Kingdom come have a chat with me 8)

No, we are different. You just wont notice the differences until you get to know us.

You weren't stating a fact, you were stating an opinion, an opinion which is ill-founded, and yes, offensive to us aspie females who have suffered a lifetime of persecution and exclusion. If you don't believe that female aspies exist then I suggest you read Aspergirls by Rudy Simone, Pretending to be Normal and Safety Skills by Liane Holliday-Willey and anything you can find by Temple Grandin. We are here and we are finally making our voices head.

awesome post is awesome.

Weird, I swear I sensed something poking me, even slighter than a baby poke... sensed little hostility about it.... but now it's all gone.

*sigh* For a second I thought it's some aspie girl, but it's just all in my head. The OP is right, they don't exist.

So if you dont trust any test that provide diognosis, then how do you know you are an aspie male? It is well know that female aspies tend to learn how to pretend to be like NT's more easily than males so we do exists and we have gone on undiognosed for too long due to our gender differences and the expectations of our gender. Also just because you have not met any maybe its as you said in your first comment that you ned to get out of your cave more. But maybe also you have met some but they have pretended well enough that you did not know. And if you dont trust the tests then what is it that define a girl as aspie, how do u measure this if not by the scientific benchmarks set by these test?????

What I was trying to say is that meeting an aspie girl wont solve all his issues.

Im studying computer management. Last week I was having lunch at the park with a couple of classmates and somehow the conversation derived to why most girls in our class seemed to have huge egos.
The conclusion we all agreed on was that some of our classmates had this weird concept that if a girl was studying this it meant that she was into the same things and everything will be wonderfull with them and all their issues will be resolved therefore they allowed them to have this massive egos because this guys will still try to be friends with them/help them no matter what they do due to the belief that she could sort all his problems if she gave him a chance.

While I understand that there are some amazing females with as there are also females you probably dont wanna meet. Considering that its just a label and that as it has been said thousands of times labels dont define people some aspie girls are really sweet, some may not be the same way...

As for getting to know a aspie girl was forced to go to quite a few as meetings around my area where I interacted with them/been involved in as online communities for a while... and Ive made an effort to get to know quite a few females that seemed similar minded/nice, at the same time Ive had to avoid a few of them that seemed scary(signs of sociopath-ish behaviour....)granted the number of people Ive avoided is much smaller than the ones I tried to get to know(else I wouldnt be involved in this at the moment)but there are still some bad seeds just as everywhere else.

Ive often had a suspicion that I dont exist. Thanks for clarifying it, OP, clearly it is correct and I dont.

Then again I have often felt that this is all imaginary and that none of us exist. Perhaps aspie males dont exist either. How far down this rabbit hole do you wish to go?
