Hi. I posted here yesterday.
But I saw that it's harder to diagnose women due to autistic traits in women being different than those in men. I've been non stop researching since yesterday (I haven't even eaten much..), and found a book called Aspiengirl. I haven't yet purchased the book, though I plan to. There are samples online of what's written, including a long list of female symptoms. I read through most of it, and it was hitting right on the mark, especially "the chameleon", imitation.

I, at first, Aspergers quizzes because I'm so interested, scored 152 on the Aspie Quiz (took it 3 times to be sure), then heard from here that the author was biased and racist. However, I do believe the quiz was correct when it comes to ADD diagnosis.

I'm not yet sure whether self-diagnosis is accurate, but this research has helped me understand myself a lot more.
