Hello,
I wanted to share this list I learnt about by scrolling Reddit.
The author of this list, Samantha Craft, from The Art of Autism website, has created a list of features Autistic women may feel identified with.
It seems Samantha has shared this list for other Asperger women to see if they relate to these traits and comment about the features they may have in common.
There are a total of around 8-10 sections focusing on different areas of life, like personality, inner world, socialization, sensitivity, executive disfunction…
I will share my thoughts in the comment section to keep the original post ‘neutral’ enough.
Have a good day.
EDIT2: i will change the original title in the blog post from “Females with Autism” to “Autism in Women”.
Again, honestly, please don’t apologise. It was very clear there were no ill intended undertones in your use of the word in the post and I shouldn’t have been so flippant, especially with no context, in my initial comment. You did nothing wrong. Please don’t let this interaction in any way make you less likely to contribute in the future.
Language is a tricky, flexible thing, and everyone is going to have their own slightly different view of the meanings and subtext of words and phrases.
Female can of course be an acceptable term. It’s my own baggage of being so online that made it become a personal flag where I automatically question author intent.
