ts apparently rare for females to be diagnosed with aspergers because women deal with it differently
and its a difficult thing to diagnose in itself.
there are certain criteria you have to meet to be an aspie,
but its a much wider spread thing than is recognised as it so often goes unnoticed.
it also comes with heightened senses in this and that, but not always.
like a more settled kind of savant.
but still with unnoticed but massive disabilities socially.
such as alsmost self damaging honesty
irrespective of others feelings.
I think they get termed borderline personality disorder, its horrible, I've witnessed what I now believe were girls with aspergers get turned on by others...horrible to watch. And the poor girls don't pick up the social cues...which looks like they are being intentionally antagonistic, which continues the cycle...utterly misunderstood. How they suffer.
Edit: but you are right not a disability of and in itself...in fact I believe essential for human evolution ...higher brain power thinking outside the box or the " herd instinct"
