Mujeres con asperger: ¿qué preguntas nos hacemos?

• • • • • •

¿Cómo son? ¿Cuántas hay? ¿Qué las diferencia? ¿Cómo detectarlo? ¿Qué hacer? ¿Qué aprender?

Establecer dos listas de características Asperger en función de sexos puede parecer superfluo a los ojos de un gran número de personas con autismo, ya que tendemos a ser andróginas tanto en nuestras formas, nuestro comportamiento y nuestro ser más profundo . Rudy Simone.

“No se trata de una cáscara. Creo que en algunos casos, nuestros sentidos se intensifican y son como los de los animales. Captamos las cosas…” Rudy Simone.

18 de mayo de 1971: ¿Qué es realmente trascendente en la vida?

Antes creía que convertirme en una gran científica era lo más trascendente que podía hacer. Ahora no lo tengo tan claro. Hay muchos caminos distintos que podría tomar ahora mismo y no sé cuál de ellos me lleva a la trascendencia. (p.295) Si realmente hubiera un negro vacío al final de la escalera, el hombre no tendría ninguna razón para ser virtuoso (p.297) Temple Grandin Pensando en Imágenes

¿Cómo son?

Había cosas que sin duda eran alimentos: las salchichas eran comida, y la carne también era comida. ¿La sopa era comida? La sopa era líquida. ¿Si la sopa era comida, entonces tal vez el té también era comida? Sin embargo había pedacitos sólidos en la sopa y no en el té. Pero ¿y la papilla de cereales? ¿Cómo puedes utilizar esa expresión, si no estás segura qué es la comida?

(Gunilla Gerland, cit de Clerck p.263)

Standard of living

I live with my mother. My room is my own private world and it's very important to me. There, I have my belongings and it's a shelter to me. I like having privacy for my activities so the door is always closed.

I'm happy because I have books, music, magazines, drawing material...

There are certain belongings that are very important to me, but I just realize when I lose something (a sock or an earring of a pair), then I feel that the whole falls apart. That something's missing.

And that really annoys me. I like to have everything together and complete.

Relationships I don't have many friends and to be honest I don't really mind that much. I'm really happy with my life and my inner world.

Anyway, sometimes I like hanging out with people. I like my spare time mates from Autismo Burgos, whom I see every 15 days.

One of the most important persons in my life, probably the most important, is my mother. She's a reference for everything; besides, I feel very close to her emotionally.

When she's at home is like the sun brightens her and then a rainbow appears. Maybe due to her lively character.

When I was a teenager I didn't feel like I wanted to hang out with people of my age. As soon as I was with them I felt that my freedom vanished off: I had to follow them wherever they wanted to go, I didn't feel confident at all.

Relationships When you are a child you have to leave your home every day to attend school. That's where every girl with ASD torment starts. From the very first moment you get in the classroom you stop being yourself. You lose your identity and you have to be sitting quiet, learning things you are not interested in and forgetting those you really care about. You're forced to be surrounded by people with whom you have nothing in common spending a lot of time with them whether you like it or not. Each time you're not able to follow the pace set by the teacher you are grounded, on detention or mocked... who said that tie your shoelaces and understand the passing time in the clock is something easy to do?

¿Cómo son?

Salud La actividad sexual está muy afectada o determinada por los problemas sensoriales que pueden conducir a algunas mujeres con Asperger a disfrutar del sexo que se vive como una experiencia extremadamente intensa y agradable. Dicho esto, la mayoría de las Aspergirls no aprecian las relaciones sexuales a causa de estos mismos problemas. Las viven como demasiado dolorosas o francamente desagradables… pág. 56
