Sounds like my 17 year old daughter when she was young. She knew how to read before she even started pre k and learned the ABC song from what toys would play in the store.
Musical talent and can even dance, but her obsession is literature and all areas of science. She began reading Shakespeare at a very young age and excessively paces while listening to orchestral music to create storylines in her head. I used to buy her puzzles and she would spend the entire day figuring them out.

I also have OCD, anxiety and depression which has bothered me most of my life. I control it by doing fewer stressful things, which is okay since my husband makes enough money that my part time work habits do not hurt us financially. My mom is schizophrenic, nephew is autism spectrum, cousin is bipolar, and most of us have IQs that are extremely high, so we do pretty well on the outside.
I pick the tags out of my clothing with a needle so that I can pull every thread out. I have always identified as a male brain, though I am hetero and a mom. I feel exhausted all the time, mostly because I am always compensating for my social difficulties—I have to interact with people. I have recently begun to wonder if I was on the spectrum, so I searched for information to see if females experienced this differently. I do know things and I cannot explain it. It is always right, though.
Anyway, I am interested in ways that adults with spectrum issues might improve their social abilities and reduce their anxiety and sensitivity. That would really help me a lot.

It was a great relief reading your article to know that I am not a bad parent as in my child acts in these ways because she has aspergers not because of my failure to parent correctly which is often what other adults have commented to me.
Am very sure I have enough evidence to get her a diagnoses in Feb because of your article and get her the early intervention she needs. I was diagnosed in when I was So getting diagnosed at 5 hopefully means she wont suffer the anxiety and depression I had. No guarantee I know but intervention has been shown to be very successful.

Instead, I read this list and realise this is the exact description of me as a kid!!! She is 7 now and my husband and myself are at a complete loss. We first noticed strange behaviors when she was 2. She likes to hoard objects i. The aggression became much worse. The bossiness, social hierarchy, bossing mom and brother around. Always being the teachers pet. She is aggressive and violent. Never wants to go to school or get dressed brush teeth or hair , very picky eater and hates the way a lot of fabrics and tags in her clothes feel.
She really has no friends and does not know how to react to peer or adults correctly. Her facial expressions seem to not connect. She usually laughs when she is in trouble or done wrong or smiles. Her emotions are a roller coaster. We have sought help locally numerous amounts of time including a sleep study and every physician comes back saying something different. Either she is depressed or she needs her tonsils out due to not sleeping , or she needs behavioral therapy.
My husband and I feel like we are banging our heads against brick walls.

Any insight or an evaluation would be appreciated. Please let me know what I need to do or if that might be possible. There Are a few options we can discuss if You email my PA at admin centreforautism. I have 3 other kids. My husband describes her as a wet noodle when trying to teach her. She has no friends. In school she will just pick up a book and read in the middle of a math lesson. But she reads 4th grade level books and words fluently without a problem.
Her smiles seem fake. When I see her around other kids I see that she copies them. She used to grunt. She figured out two baggers at the grocery store were brothers and one of them confirmed it. She goes with me to the store maybe once a month. She said they talk the same and have the same noses. She likes to make things and play board games and put puzzles together and color. She gets them dressed, she arranges the furniture in the doll house. She often does what we tell her to, but not because she thinks we have the right to tell her to.
This comes up so often when it comes to bathing, brushing teeth, combing hair. Her desk was placed a long ways away from other children None of this helped her social standing! She has to carefully line up her crayons and pencils and markers before she would even begin to work. However we are in the UK and they just do not recognise the differences in how girls and boys present.
My daughter is 9 years old, going through this list she has so many of these traits. She also is ADD and we just went yesterday to put the plan into place and found out she is a grade level behind in Math and English. Does anyone know how to go about getting her diagnosed? It is an every day battle with her and all I want to do is make life so much easier and happier for her. My daughter age 8 was finally officially diagnosed today, thanks to articles like this which made me think, thanks for all you do.
This describes my Currently, she is in total denial; said the online quiz I sent her was borderline insulting. Parenting her has been so hard! But now what to do. I need to figure out how to get her to eat; sensory sensitivity issue? This describes my grand daughter. She is living with us and we wish to give her the best grand parenting we can. She is 13 which is an awkward age anyway, but to have aspergers as well is pretty tough. Please could you give me advice when there is a meltdown, and just general advice please.
Hi If you email tania aspiengirl. Thank you so much for writing this! It took me over 2 years to convince our doctors and psychologists that my daughter has autism. The diagnostic tools were clearly created around boys I had seen, and I kept running into parents of girls that had been quickly dismissed from their screenings because the greeted someone appropriately or made great eye contact.
It was beyond frustrating! I made a list 5 typed pages front and back of all of her behaviors that concerned me. I also took pictures and videos of her behaviors, because she would always perform perfectly during evaluations except for how nervous she was in the beginning.
We finally got a diagnosis at age 5. This article will help so many parents of AsperGirls explain to evaluators what they experience! Thank you so very much for posting this. This is my daughter. I did order your book online over 2 years ago as an electronic copy however something went wrong with the download and I never received it. I would really like the book that I paid for Please help Desperate Mother. I am 47 and after reading this realise that in the past I had displayed a majority of these issues.
I always wondered what was wrong with me and why I was differently to everyone else. This made me a target of bullying for my entire school life and this has effected me in long into adulthood. This sounds like my 4 year old. Is there specific help for kiddos this age?

My granddaughter has MANY of the observable traits mentioned for birth to preschool. We cannot get anyone to evaluate her outside the box. Her 5 yr old brother was diagnosed ADD and her 13yr old brother would be as well as the mother if they went through the testing. Thank you for your message and please keep pushing to help your granddaughter. I do my work so that no more females are left behind. This blows my mind. I feel like I am reading a list describing my 8 year old daughter. I always knew something was different from around age 2.
I hoped she would outgrow it but it only became more intense. She was originially diagnosed with dmdd and GAD but after a recent hospitalization both the therapist at the hospital and her new psych doc both feel she is on the spectrum. I am still trying to get her evaluated. I feel like I am finally getting answers. This list is wonderful though- I am definitely saving!
My youngest seems to meet most of the criteria. She had already been evaluated using ADOS and ADI when she was 5 and we were given a negative result for autism, yet she is ten now and having so many social issues as well as learning issues. I was also told by friends that I seem to want her to be autistic… which is the last thing I want, but she needs help and nobody knows what the cause of her problems are.
Thanks for writing this. It is very frustrating for me to hear. Both the ADOS and the ADI have been shown in research to be unreliable assessment tools for girls on the spectrum Who display subtle traits I should not be relied on solely for diagnosis. You are right, the criteria she was tested by does not often fit many females. You need supportive friends And we need many more Professionals who are both trained and experienced in the diagnosis and assessment of girls. I wanted to update that we were referred to a different specialist by her school psychologist and she was given a far more thorough assessment and this time she was found to be on the spectrum.
I was sad that we had lost years re wrong previous diagnosis but at least now we can finally do something about it. That was an attempt at humor. Like many other parents here I find this work vital. Another daughter has struggled with sensory issues, a bipolar diagnosis, etc. We finally heard about your site from Maureen Bennie yesterday after discovering the concept of Autism Shutdown and Autism Burnout.
Any comments or links to resources would be very welcome. The shutdowns are very debilitating. Stop telling me that I dont have Aspergers — Acantabra. They say no but they are wrong! But can a boy be a bit more like a girl if he has say for example inherited excelling language skills and has a sometimes extroverted Aspergers parent like myself and enjoys drama and music and acting? But nah no ASD! He only eats like 5 foods, unless you count junk food. He can remember the past but nothing in the short term. Omg the list goes on…. Hi Danielle yes absolutely he can.
In fact many of my assessment of males who love drama music and acting seem to be a little bit more female-like in terms of the phenotype or the profile or the presentation. I dont have a personality disorder but I was also diagnosed with adhd at the same time by two seperate specialists. This is a very difficult behaviour to aknowledge about yourself. I have an OT now, that helps a lot with sensory stuff. Could you possibly send me in the right direction with a link or book.
Thank you, that list was shockingly precise, stuff I never thought about! I would like further advice about the diagnosis process. I have 12 year old twin girls and I have always felt that they are both on the spectrum. I have read your article and I would say that they both score high for the symptoms.
