[quote=Anonymous]When our son was diagnosed with Asperger's we were able to go back retroactively and see the traits in my dad and also in myself, a woman. Since then I have read that girl aspies will often find one good friend who ends up serving as a translator for the aspie girl. They end up with a friendship where the aspie child is really dependent on this one friend who essentially explains a lot of what is going on to the aspie kid (i.e. "He's asking about you because he likes you", etc.) This really resonated with me and explained most of the friendships I had had in my lifetime. It may be this friendship pattern that helps an aspie girl to pass as normal. I actually see these friendship patterns in my own daughter as well -- befriending one child who is much more social and much more socially aware. It's helpful but not necessarily healthy if that makes sense. . [/quote]
