Asperger's Syndrome / Autism

[GossamerMoon]

I have seen "being gay" in AS forums, but I haven't offhand found any in here.

I'm interested to know if anyone here is somewhere on the autism spectrum. Personally, I have a mild form of Asperger's, which means I'm quirky, have some sensory (and very mild synesthesia) issues, and I'm not always great at catching onto subtleties in other people. (Whether it's because I'm female, especially intuitive, or milder, I'm not as bad as a lot of Aspies about this. I've learned to read--both literally and intuitively--other people.)

For those who don't know, some famous people who are either diagnosed or presumed Aspies are Einstein, Bill Gates, and Dan Akroyd (yes, someone on the spectrum can be wicked funny--I can be!).

I've heard there are many gay Aspies. are there any here? If so, are you willing to share your stories?

Thanks in advance!
