| No, I do not innately understand the 'games'. I have put in quite a bit of effort to intellectually learn how to recognise such games. |

| Rocket, what you've described explains how I think too. It does take me some time to form an overall picture (much like putting together a jig-saw puzzle). I can't see the overall-picture immediately or within a short span of time. I need a lot more information. It's been described to me as systemat... |

| You have interesting thoughts. Big-picture stuff eludes me too. It reminds of that instance when someone (a supervisor) was frustrated with me because I couldn't 'grasp' the big picture. This 'big-picture' wasn't the big picture you're talking about. Thinking back, I still don't understand what it i... |

| Hmm, I am not sure if you're simply posting your personal observations or seeking constructive criticism/feedback or seeking sympathy. It's not very clear to me. My natural inclination is to want to 'fix a problem', so it is not my intention to cause offense. It is good to hear the tumour was benign... |

| I can understand your reasons for wanting a diagnosis. I just want to let you know that your experience regarding diagnosis is not unique, as many women on the spectrum face the same challenge. It is because the current diagnostic criteria is based on the male profile. It is much harder for women t... |

| Yes, there are many similarities. You can put 'giftedness' in that list you have made. I first did the Myers-Briggs test as a teen, since then I always get INTJ when I take that test. I also classify as HSP (I bought Aron's book a few years back) and I have Asperger's. I can socialise (I don't parti... |

| I do not find that true for myself. I don't speak about myself much to others and I also don't go on about my interests. I guess you could say I choose not to speak much at all in social situations. I do find that others love to speak about themselves and if you know the right questions to ask they ... |
