I just wondered if anybody (particularly females, I'm a 26 year old female) could have a look at my main problems & see if they sound like typical problems faced by girls with AS.

I apologise for the length of the post. There are other things I struggle with but I think I've said enough for now. If anybody has any coping tips, they would be much appreciated.
I'm a 20 year old female and I have a lot of these traits. Rarely wake up refreshed, understand most jokes perfectly, my sister teases me about how small my writing is, I ADORE being touched, hate talking on the phone and I mentally correct every incorrect spelling I see.

That talks about how Asperger's shows in girls and it includes a lot of anecdotes from a group of women who have it.
