Ok parents of autistic girls I was told by a parent that the girls are the quiet ones non aggressive they stick to themselves how are your girls? Secondary question twin parents mine are both level 3 ok but night and day my girl is aggressive and like a hurricane with feet my son lovey quiet very curious about books and electronics aren't twins supposed to be more alike or does the autisum thing throw that off?

My 11 year daughter is mainly quiet , calm and enjoys her quiet time alone. But, she is also stubborn stubborn and can get aggressive.She insists on being as independent as allowed.
Now, this you might find funny. She is not a twin but has a brother who is almost exactly a year younger than her. We sometimes call them twins because they have always been so alike both physically and emotionally. He is not autistic (just the opposite). They play well together but he is the one who can really get her aggressive.
Hope this helps.

My daughter us to stay to herself and sit in corner and play wirh doll. Now she is all over the place . She os starting to hit and bit when upset. When I take her to the store she has to be carried thought the parking lot if we cant find spot close or she will take off running. Walking her home from school is no fun and the school district that I live in wont bus her because the dont bus the other kids. I think it dosen't matter if you have a sin or daughter it just depends on the child.

growing up, i was not that aggressive. I was usually well-behaved. I rarely cried unless in pain. Both of my parents shared chores and child rearing duties so it was an egalitarian marriage. In terms of demeanor I don't know if there is a certain disposition because of birth sex. I believe gender is to nurture as sex is to nature. And this is my view as a transgender woman on the autism spectrum.
