Hello all,
Having researched a lot on the typical behaviors and so-called symptoms of Asperger's/ASD and come across the mention of how such things tend to differ between affected men and women, I was wondering what your thoughts on the matter would be.
In your experience, do you think there is a prevalent difference between the way Asperger's manifests in women as opposed to men? I'm mentioning women specifically because there seems to already be a wealth of information on affected men and nearly as much on children, and I wanted to target the range of "teenage to adult woman."
Furthermore, what do you think are especially significant differences faced by female Aspies? Do you have any personal observations or stories about this? Do you think that women with Asperger's are under-represented or less understood by the general public and if so, what should or can be done about it?
Do you have any advice for female Aspies?
Lastly, summarize your "thinking process" or how you view the world in one sentence?
Thank you.
