My coworker has an MS in Counseling and her specialization used to be autism spectrum disorders.
She's been casually mentioning Asperger's to me lately, and today she asked me if I've ever been tested.
She's not the first person to ask me that.
So, naturally I have been reading everything I can find on Asperger's - specific to females.
And...I can relate to almost everything I've read, but...I'm not sure how accurate all of it is. I've been talking to a good friend who is a psych nurse, and he also believes it is possible that I have Asperger's. It would explain a lot.
Anyway, I'm wondering if any of the females here have been diagnosed with Asperger's (or just think you have it).
And...thoughts on these articles?

I think I function okay, but I know I could do better (esp with regards to relationships and some work-related issues).
