I am 56 years old now and not mentally well.
This is my She saw a plethora of specialists from the age of yrs each one refuting the previous diagnoses for a new one and received diagnoses of ADHD, Anxiety, Possibly gifted which subsequent IQ test disproved and Emotional development delay. Although she fit each of these to some degree, I knew there was something more. She would rather struggle on and disadvantage herself eg. Is this common with Aspie girls — complete denial about diagnosis? Hi Em and thank you for your message.
Actually this sounds surprisingly similar to me…my brother has Aspergers but it never occurred to me that I might have it too. Do you think it particularly matters though? Should I bother getting myself diagnosed or telling people. School Rollercoaster Common Sense. Oh my goodness this is so helpful. My daughter is 4 years old and this describes her so clearly.
I see everything so clearly now. I had to pull her out of school after 1. I can tick off almost every characteristic. Finally you have done it. Despite years of problems in schools not one teacher recognised it. Now we need to get the help she needs. The lack of recognition and diagnosis has caused a great deal of damage to self esteem and psychological wellbeing. Thank you for the work you do. This will go a long way in preventing the troubles and negativity and lack of provision for children with ASD.
An overview
Oh my this is my daughter aged 11, I have had her assessed through school psychologist who believes there is no sign of Autism and her teacher basically has no desire to believe any concerns I have about her. As a baby she was like she had been here before, on a mission to be ahead in anything she could including walking, Crawling was never on her radar just straight from sitting within a couple of months at 10 months to walking. We thought it was unusual.
She has never played with toys nor desired to but did ride a bike with trainers from about 14 mths around and around the house for hours on end. In hers pips testing both times she was well above standards, danced her little heart out for hours on end took up with a dance studio at 4, but had pestered us since 2 she wanted to dance on the big stage.
She has school refusal and she is mother, boss,policeman, and any other job description that involves being the boss. We constantly tell her We are the parent you are the Child. She takes anxiety medication but our Paed does not think she has autism although he did think our 9 year old son did immediately, he has been diagnosed level 2 autistic, my gut says she is but feel at a loss seens the paed was not much interested in delving any further, she is fixated on colour pink since day dot and wears pink lenses pink frames for Irlens Dyslexia, everything is pink including the dance uniform.
She is so black and white I am not sure how pink fits in: Kim, she sounds a lot like my daughter except for the dancing, my daughter always struggled with that.

She was walking around My daughters dual assessment is due at the start of January and in the meantime has a provisional diagnosis of ASD by one of the psychologists there, she is also starting treatment with a psychologist and also OT for her sensory issues. I happened upon your article and cannot believe how accurately the characteristics describe my 7yr old daughter. All along I have known something is different about my daughter and have been told by the doctor that it is a discipline problem and been referred to parenting workshops and counselling.
Amy, I had the same problem. My daughter was originally diagnosed with a language disorder during kindy through the public system then left to fend for herself at school which then bought out all of the anxiety and behavioural issues.
Fancy treating anxiety with discipline, makes no sense! Anyway, after having a hiatus form Doctors for a while after that experience I decided to save up to get her assessed for Autism and arrange treatment to help her deal with her struggles. I researched various Autism services in my state then booked her in. I then took her to a gp we had never seen before and asked him for a mental health care plan so I can get her treated and he did it no problem.
Apparently if you get the plan from a paediatrician the rebate is higher but I figured the cost of the consult would probably negate that anyway. Hi Sherrie, thanks for your reply! My daughter has more of the sensory symptoms, very sensitive to stimuli in her environment and has difficulty with attention as well as social difficulties. As a result of poor coping with this she becomes very anxious, depressed, and at times her behaviour becomes uncontrollable. Fortunately we live in Ontario, Canada and much of our health care is publicly funded.
So I could wait a year or two for nothing. I really appreciate this resource. I think bpd is often misdiagnosed in girls. I can see similarity since they both involve emotional and social problems and eventually, a meltdown. Rather than link this to other notable characteristics I have and wonder if maybe I intellectualise on a pathological level, it was assumed by my cmht that I deliberately sabotaged the entire process.
I wish I had the social competence to do that. My eating disorder service are already giving up. I could have been identified as different sooner. It was all there.
What they offer
This has taken nearly 8 years for the doctors to notice that there was a problem. I have been on most of the courses to see if I could her my daughter. Refuses to leave the house to go to school. Wets herself, bites her nails, loves to read, listens to music extremely high, when being outside my daughter covers her ears. My daughter learns better at home than school.
Hi, my daughter Eleanor is currently being assessed for an ASD, but we are not hopeful she will get a diagnosis. Her behaviour has always been at odds with her friends. She is very quiet and at times withdrawn, she has facial ticks and other mild but noticeable soothing habits. At home she can be quite violent towards her younger brother and has regular meltdowns if frustrated.
They never see this at school. Eleanor is of above average intelligence and loves to read, she also enjoys participating in individual sports such as running and gym, team sports she can find a little confusing. She is desperate for friendship and to be part of the group and attending a state boarding school has enabled her to do this, she is very compliant and follows the crowd so most people are happy to have her around. When at home at the weekends or during the holidays she never speaks or meets up with any of her friends. We were asked to fill out the CAST Autism Test which we felt did not reflect the symptoms or difficulties my daughter has.
She has sensitivity issues, personal grooming problems, why would I bother with that and has always had toileting issues. She is also unsure of how to give or to receive comfort. It was a farce I was diagnosed with a schizophrenia and put on strong drugs. I have never been formally diagnosed with an ASD, and my GP finds it difficult to believe that I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when a teenager although it still appears on correspondence I receive from the hospital for unrelated medical appointments. We are not sure where we go from here.
The Bright Girl Effect
Hi Jacqueline, can you please email me at tania aspiengirl. My 8 year old granddaughter is all the above , my daughter has terrible problems getting her into her school. She complains her clothes hurt. Cannot cope with more than one friend. She has no social Embarrasment hates any change of routine will run out of situations. I could go on and on. We are in the progress of waiting for an occupational therapist to see if there is a diagnosis, therefore maybe the school will be more understanding.
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. Now she is a whiz and earned a scholarship from her teachers for her advanced literature.
She can spell any word you can think of from the top of her head without knowing what it means. She just somehow knows how to spell it properly, it is amazing. My 5 year old son just got diagnosed with mild Autism so I was opened to a disorder I never knew before. It was because of him that I noticed why my daughter was also so eccentric in behavior.
Skipping senior year of high school and started college, she is afraid of how she will appear and already has pretty severe social anxiety. Now she sees a psychologist, who after 4 months cant come up with a diagnosis for her because she is so complicated. I am completely convinced my daughter is a high functioning autistic and I have told her. She gets upset when she hears it. This post had me convinced, I think I will go get her tested for it.
My daughter feels she is on the spectrum and reading this it rings quite true, as i already have an autistic son which is her twin. But i dont want to go too specialists and start saying this as i might be classed as one of those parents! The above describes my childhood in a nutshell! Always the odd one out. Hi Tania, I came across this article is a desperate search to try to get some help for my daughter.
I feel she has at least 30 of the 40 traits you have mentioned here. Would you consider this to be something to as her medical team to look into further?? One of Tony Attwoods articles on girls with Aspergers also describes her perfectly as well. Hello and thank you for your message yes I think it would be good to look into.
Asperger - alisenwork Pearltrees. Creating an ASD friendly classroom. I am in my 50s, and I have suffered a lot over the years. I have 35 out of 40 of the traits that you listed. 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.
What message did you write and why do you think girls' education matters? I happened upon your article and cannot believe how accurately the characteristics describe my 7yr old daughter. 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. So frustrated… He only eats like 5 foods, unless you count junk food. Cannot cope with more than one friend. She figured out two baggers at the grocery store were brothers and one of them confirmed it.
That would really help me a lot. Do you have any advice columns to for adults? Hi , our 16 year old daughter has been off school for 4 years. Difficulties with own emotions, will cry if thwarted as likes control but cannot understand own emotions and often detached or appears closed down. Difficulty sleep, very sensitive to temperature, noise, very daddy about food, will binge and crash with dieting.
Frighteningly honest and good logic but offends others , mood swings, hyper mobility, literal, strong sense of justice, extreme views on social issues, can be bossy, difficulty with changes to routines, insistence of having shower when house is quietest, lots of tummy and headaches obsession with reading, loves singing, tends to focus intensely on one interest and does not like being interrupted, chooses to be by self.

Best wishes on your novel. You have absolutely hit the nail on the head with my 5 year old daughter. Looking at finding some strategies to help her and us deal with some of her traits that she struggles with. Hi, my name is Emma. A mother of 3, eldest girl aged 6, has spina bifida , vp shunt, hydrocephalus. So many of the traits you list are indicative of intellectual giftedness in a young child. How do you determine whether a child is Aspergers, Gifted, or both? Great question and thank, you for asking. I have worked and currently work with this sub-population.
Now we know that certain types of IQ tests are not the best at identifying IQ in individuals with HFA or Aspergers, but there is a spikey profile and often a significant split s and spikey subtests are associated with individuals on the Spectrum. Giftedness or Aspergers differ in many domain too numerous for this reply, however this table may help: She also has started picking her lips.
To this day she still has balance issues. Doctors never worry and just say that its anxiety or normal kid stuff. Thank you for doing the research and writing your books!! Is speaking extremely early something that could be connected? I started talking around nine months. Not just words, but small, broken sentences. I got taken to the doctor for it. I believe it is actually still in a record somewhere. I will be seeing a Paediatrcian for my 5 year old daughter and your article is exactly what I will be using. After reading it several times my daughter is all of these.
I have Aspergers as well which is a great asset as I can teach her all the coping mechanisisms. 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.
Morning is broken myquirkygirl. Since my mother is so socially awkward and unadapted to her gender role, I ended up thinking she might have some form of autism. 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.

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. These studies were some of the first aimed at investigating the effects of measured intelligence, intelligence mindset and gender in adults. The results suggested that the roles of gender have little effect on perceived intelligence levels in women. The findings run contrary to some cornerstones of the mindset field: More than anything, the study proves that women recognize their own abilities and acknowledge that they can grow, continually learn, and even launch groundbreaking new research to show the world that they have faith in themselves and in their ultimate potential.
