I have a question for people with aspergers.

Same.

I always prefer friends of the opposite gender. Communicating with people of the same gender is the most alien thing to me for whatever reason....

Male. Prefer the company of women. I don't know why. I like stereotypically guy stuff but still prefer women. Ofcourse I prefer the ones who like 'guy stuff'.

female ........diagnosed with AS......... and have only had friends of the same gender

I don't have a preference either way.
I would just prefer be left alone.

I prefer my own gender, as a man. But I much prefer my own company over any group.

I couldn't think of anything worse being surrounded by a group of 20 something males. Then again I tend to dislike males around that age group. I don't want to stereotype males but the topic of conversation is very different to females, so I guess I wills stereotype Aussie males around my age group who are NT. They tend to be into sports and although we share a similar taste in music it's harder to talk to them about it. They are always making immature jokes and then I just stop paying attention to them.

I'm female.

20 something females are no better but I usually get along with them better. Their topics are more social and involve talking about celebrities or food or something everyone all agrees is suitable topic of conversation. There's more of a chance of overreacting to what someone had said and getting over emotional, from then on I shut off.

Sorry for the stereotyping. I guess I don't listen enough to know how to describe their behaviour for sure.

I hate being in groups because it's harder to keep up in conversation. I'm better one on one. Most times though they say something that I find offensive so I run to my room to sulk.

Like many of the posters here, have been bullied by both sexes, so it's a tough call.
I'm a female, but I have more in common with men, because I find talk about babies boring. I've never found the bald drooling blobs remotely cute, even though I get all dewey eyed over baby animals-even baby snakes, snails and sharks. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of sports, but I know more than most women, and I like comic books and science fiction, which are steotypically male interests. So if push came to shove, I'd rather be among a group of men.

I am female and I've found I make male friends much faster than female friends. I guess with males I can be myself more (I can talk about games and movies I like) but with females I feel like the odd one out that doesn't really fit in. I don't have any gender identity issues, I'm happy being female, and I don't go around trying to have a relationship with every male friend I have, it's just easier for me to be around them.

My DX isn't AS. It's PDD-NOS, but I'm Aspie through and through. If the OP is doubtful about this, I've got a blog entry in my profile explaining.

My comfort level isn't gender related at all. It's about the individuals who are there. I hate groups entirely made up of strangers. I prefer to meet one person at a time, and preferably through someone I already know quite well. I do not like being around my wife's friends unless she is there, but don't mind hanging out with my own if she's not.

If you haven't guessed by now, I'm male. (Hey, having wife doesn't make that a given though, does it? Though I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body! )

First off, don't count this vote. I'm not diagnosed.

That being said, I'm male, and prefer the company of females. The only bad part about that, is that you become known as "the friend" or "the safe guy". Ugh. Still, I prefer that over macho bull posturing. WTH? We aren't fighting. Why posture? It's pointless. *sigh*
