>Any story is good, I just want to hear about life through the eyes of a girl with autism.
Oh, well, my diagnosis was Asperger syndrome, and I think, for the most part, that it seems like it was easier for me than the male aspies I've met.
Growing up it just seemed like I got along better with boys. With more boys than girls having the interests I did (computers, video games, space, etc), I think most kids saw me as a tomboy. Boys kinda liked that, girls really didn't, and I developed bullies who were all girls. I didn't care about being seen that way until puberty encouraged me to style myself differently, but not much else changed. I was still a nerd, and guys still seemed to like the more "boyish" aspects.
It's always been hard to make friends—I basically have one friend at a time and get overwhelmed when I try to work more in. Grades 7-10 were the worst because I suddenly wanted so much attention and was quickly overwhelmed when I got it.
Some forms of communication are a lot rougher than others for reasons I don't really understand. E-mails are easy. Chatting is not. In-person meetings are OK. Phone calls are hell.
Not sure what else to say…
>The stories you've provided though do make me feel that I should be more careful when we're alone and not let things get out of hand.
Again, I don't know if it has anything to do with ASD. I haven't met others who did the same things. You said you were diagnosed yourself, and it seems like you probably didn't. I just wanted to throw it out there because what you described brought it to mind.
