I am an Aspie Girl: A book for young girls with autism spectrum conditions

Product Information

We are a support group. We do not allow posts asking for DMs, personal messages/connections, or to advertise looking for someone local to meet in person as a friend, potential date, potential hookup, or to get to know outside of posting publicly in the group. Over the years, numerous therapy approaches have been developed. Different approaches are required for different clients in various situations. Because no single theory works for everyone, Tania strives to use an integrated and flexible approach that allows the counselling experience to be tailored to each client’s unique needs and style. As one would expect with an Aspie, the writing can be a bit repetitious, yet I still got a lot out of this book. I have worked with 0, yes I wrote 0, girls with Asperger's in my 15 years of working with special needs and high risk populations!! I mean, WTF?!! To read that a lot of these girls and young women are misdiagnosed is no surprise to me. And it breaks my heart. I do need the Schedule but not expectations, I just make my own expectations up like some normal people do.

I was particularly frustrated by how much of the second half of the book sounded like victim speak. Everything was told from the perspective of a victim who is of course, guiltless and blameless in everything. That wore extremely thin. Yes and no. Technically, comorbid conditions include Alexithymia, which is an inability to connect words to emotions, it to describe ones emotions or the emotions of another. you are confusing “pretending to be sad” with empathy…Its not that she wouldn’t expect an allistic person to pretend to be sad. She would expect an allistic person to show empathy. (If you think empathy is pretending to be sad you might want to get that looked at by a professional.

I agree they have a lot of empathy. I didn’t show it much in my younger days. When my marriage broke up I think was the turning point. I show and feel a lot of emotion now, I can take on other peoples pain. I think the subtitle should have been Empowering Ablebodied CisHet White Females with AS, because wow it did not take an intersectional approach to this topic at all. Though we may not feel particularly womanly, others will still see us as such and measure our behavior against nonautistic females, when in reality I feel it would be more appropriate and fair to measure our behavior against a man's—after all, men are not expected to be socially adept, or have an abundance of nurturing feelings. This would be a much fairer standard of measure and other Aspergirls agree" (62). Yes, except swap the girl/guy role – or better, make them gender neutral! 😀 So strange to finally have an official label for how alien I’ve felt for 43 years, why I had to painfully learn how to get by in a world that came naturally to others, their rules – I grew up in an era where you were classed as odd, awkward or ‘introvert’< baloney term – How would it have been had I known earlier? As the young, conventionally very 'attractive'& but unconventional thinking female, who baffled others & herself. That I was justified in hating hugs & wondering why women are expected to act like soppy idiots & why I thought more like a stereotypical 'man' is meant to, why I am now more happy feeling like I'm neither. That it's not me that's wrong; it's them. Except for the female plumber I called as no one (including the arsehole who serviced my boiler and told me it was fine only for it not to be a week later) would come to fix it when it broke down in Feb one year.

But, the rest didn't fit at all -- for example, "few, if any, activities provide pleasure." Nuh-uh.I really enjoyed your blog, it’s really well-informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing this. Aspergers find it difficult to interpret other people’s emotions. They find it hard to understand body language or subtle emotive cues. I recently came across an article where they shared some knowledge about Autism Spectrum. Maybe you would like to add something from here- http://blog.nationalcollege.edu.au/blog/course/life/understanding-the-autism-spectrum aspie girl, ashbie, apustaja, ashbie moon, aspie, asd, aspergers, autism acceptance, autism is my superpower, please be patient i have autism, wojak, neurodivergent, neurodiversity, neurodiverse, hello kitty, sanrio, vr, autism, r/aspiememes, introvert Sadly, after chapter 7, it really fell apart. The authors bitter experience, her very liberal worldview and her baggage from failed relationships discolored the rest of the text. The overgeneralization's ran rampant, the pseudoscience was nothing more than a string of bitter anecdotes and her tone was anything other than empowering. We really felt the "Harvard Guide" had let us down here. There we were -- left not knowing what my partner's diagnosis was -- even though clearly there had to be something! And it’s really scary to think about that, that I could have…lost myself along the way as I tried to survive the neglect and loneliness.

I confirmed that I’m no premature kid. I was born 9 months like a normal kid, I was actually better when I was a kid than now. I guess Gay, bi, asexual, trans, aromantic, nonbinary etc people don't exist. Very, very heterosexual. Heteronomative or however you spell it. Also not everybody wants a husband. But I got the idea from the book that netting a husband is 'worth it' because 'autism ladies are naieve, childlike and need protection :)))' and so that they are cared for like a stereotypical 50's housewife.

What I expected: A book about women/girls with ASS (very unfortunate initials here) and their experiences. We allow discussions about sex; keep in mind we have underage people lurking/posting. Generalized discussions are fine, detailed descriptions are not. Whether it's because of the author's own views of gender identity or because of the time in which it was written, this just does not make sense to me, reading these words in 2019.

Forwarding it to my daughter who will just love it. Wwitch up the boy/girl roles for an even bigger laugh. Imagine being an attractive 19 year old woman who would say exactly what the guy says in this piece. Too too funny. Thanks so much.no.9: The scenero at hand is pretty much how my classmates react to me. I have been called an “emotionless robot” before.
