Innisfree Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thank you; that was fascinating! I wish we had one of the groups focused on helping girls with social issues near us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The part that was particularly fascinating to me was about how the brains of girls with ASD function with respect to social stuff, that mediation that goes on. I think Tony Atwood perceived this kind of thing when he talks about the self-reflection that goes on for women with ASD. I remember him saying in a youtube video that women with Aspergers are great moms but their difficulty is that they doubt themselves. I have sometimes thought that it's not that it not the level of difficulty of social communication that is the problem for girls but that it takes so much out of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
