I don't think it makes you any less worthwhil ... |

No one knows "for sure." Yet.
Heck, half the time, the experts can't even agree what behaviors constitute "autism." |

I think there's a crisis-level underdiagnosis of women with Asperger's and HFA, let alone any research on their marriage rates.
there's not much evidence of that
I think that "AS women more like ... |

I'm an "associative thinker."
Don't know if it has anything to do with ASDs.

In the U.S., the entire country has a huge ego problem.
