Katelyns mom and flo flo, I also feel like a kindered spirit. I was diagnosed as highly gifted as a child but my mom wouldn't allow me to be part of the "MGM" (Mentally Gifted Minors) program because she didn't want me to think I was better than others(!) I don't identify with most women and I love power tools and restoring houses as a hobby. My husband loves that he can buy me power tools for Christmas :-). I also ended up in an Engineering consulting firm (as a planner). Have you gals read "Aspergirls" by Rudy Simone? I just read it due to some issues with my daughter and it totally describes the androgynous/anti stereotype issues along with a lot of other things I always thought were just my little quirks. Very interesting stuff.
I've heard of the book but haven't read it yet. You have peaked my interest! Adding it to my list. Thanks!
