I know a few personally: Josie, Spokane Girl, Mitharatowen, Gaya, Angel Maria, Just me, Lighting, xalepax, more than I have time to list.

The ratio of aspie/autistic girls to boys, well we have three times more boys. It's fine though. I get along with other guys very well, we make a good little gang.

I'm obviously a robot. I'm still waiting for a female robot to arrive on this planet WP, but so far I'm the only one .

I'm sure a female robot will arrive soon!

I generally get on better with boys too.

Just curious, as I know almost as many girls with AS as boys. I don't reckon it's 3:1, maybe 5:2. But then I'm not a professional!

Yup!.... last time I checked... I was a girl!! ! :queen:

I spoke to a woman who studies asperger's and high functioning autism the other day on the phone. I was looking for a therapist that will assess adults. She can't assess me because she is not allowed to "moonlight" as a university employee..... long story short..... she said that they are finding that the ration of boys to girls starts to even out as the spectrum approaches the "higher functioning" individuals. I guess that it takes a long time for that sort of finding to start to become mainstream, however. I was surprised to hear about that finding.

WELCOME TO WRONG PLANET!! :flower:
