Thank you

I am an Aspie too and a female. I seem to have many of the traits that anyone that has Asperger's deals with. I have difficulty socially as well as the work environment. I cannot read people very well. Example if someone is trying to talk to me I cannot tell if they are happy sad angry at me or what???? This one of my biggest issues. I am socially inept. You must be very smart as most have high IQ's. Another trait I have is I cannot look people in the eyes. I have great difficulty with this. I have to tell myself over and over to look at people when you are talking to them. I also have bipolar disorder which gets me into trouble combined with the Asperger's.I did have a therapist I met with that works with individuals that have Asperger's. I never found an online test for Asperger's specifically for women. If you have not read this book I found it to be helpful.
