I was also tomboyish as a kid. I liked video games, insects, lizards, animals in general, climbing trees, and some cartoons that boys would generally like. I had to wear dresses and skirts for church. I had to wear these AWFUL itchy tights on cold days and they made me miserable! When I was not going to church though, I usually wore trousers and a shirt or trousers under a dress or skirt.

I don't know if I really am an Aspie or not, but I still think reinforcing gender stereotypes is stupid. I do not really think of myself in terms of a gender, either.


Out of curiousity, what is it that causes you to doubt the possibility that you're on the spectrum?

In your introduction thread we had gone over the "Math myth" and I also explained that many Aspies are not "uber-gifted" or scholars, etc.  From what I observe from you, these two qualities are the cause of your doubt, and I personally think you should rethink that.
