Wow, I'm a textbook case too. I, especially, liked that they included the part about balancing male/female roles or thinking of oneself as both in a way. And the part about comfortable clothing and not doing "girly" things with other women.
It's strange, I used to think that a lot of those things were accounted for by my being a lesbian. But in the past few years, and my one and only experience with a relationship, I'm beginning to rethink things. I think it has a lot more to do with my sensory issues than I thought it did.

| I'm currently waiting to see a community psychiatric nurse to start off a diagnosis process as both myself and my doctor think I likely have Aspergers. I have printed out the four column list because very few of the descriptions are not me to a tee. |

| Wow... this really illustrates it. I think this will be very helpful if I have to try to explain to somebody (common response: don't be silly, there's nothing "wrong" with you, you're just (insert insufficient explanation)... when I didn't say anything was wrong with me I was just trying to explain why I act differently). I think just about everything applies. Except I do like to shop with a friend, I can really get hung up on decisions when alone (plus they help me not get as lost). And, everybody has always thought I looked much older than my age, not younger. I don't think of myself as half male but my thinking tends to be more "male" in many ways. |

Only one or two things dont match me on the chart, otherwise it basically explains me...

Wow, I need to show this to my family. --- What do they mean by hunger/food issues? My niece almost has to be force-fed, but for me it is the opposite.

| Wow, I'm just a mom on here for my preschool son, but it's amazing how many things on this chart apply to me. I'm beginning to wonder whether my ADHD was a misdiagnosis. It would certainly explain my bleeding ulcers at the ripe age of 11! |

Hethera, I too started here for my preschool son and discovered so much more about myself.
To the OP, thanks for posting that, it was very informative. I'm spot on that chart with everything except the diagnoses stuff as I was never diagnosed with anything.
I could never understand why I mirrored others, I didn't know that was an aspie thing. I don't have many female friends and never really liked doing girly things. I also identified with both genders at an early age, but couldn't understand why. The thing that took me the longest to come to terms with until recently was the unexplainable tears at random things. |

| Thank you for posting this list. Up until I saw it, I had some doubts about whether or not I had AS....now I have no doubts at all, and plan to seek a professional diagnosis just for my own peace of mind. |
