| Some of the table didn't match with me but a lot of it did! That table is really cool. |

| Oddly, I matched all of those except for maybe one, but I haven't been diagnosed with AS. |

| Wow, thanks for that list. Almost all of it fits me. It's interesting to finally see something about female aspies. |

| That's a great list. I don't know how true this is about aspie females in general, but it fits with me as well. |

| I had been doubting the likelihood (spelling error?) of myself having AS because I didn't have all of the commonly listed symptoms on other websites, but perhaps most of those were more for males? Because almost every single trait on this particular table is true for me. Perhpas I should seek a proper diagnosis now. Thanks for posting that. |

I'm really not sure in which context they are using the word, so i don't know which definition it applies to. |
Oh! In that case I'm not sure I agree. I am definitely a trainspotter, myself. So is my mom. So is my sister. And we outnumber my AS dad and my AS brother. |

Pretty spot on. I (at first intentionally, now almost automatically) suppress physical "stims" (loathe that word) and physicality- I can cope with being thought cold, but not clumsy.
Also grooming, -well I'm a bt of a slob at home, but like an actor backstage, thats the *off-duty* me.

That's so funny how you noted your spelling error! I do that to! I can't just leave it, but I'd rather not go off task to find it! So I just stick in (sp)... |
