Your Aspie score: 99 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 111 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits


I liked the one: "Do you have a fascination for slowly flowing water?" Sounds like a good thing to be fascinated by. There's a guy in work who's has aspergers and I definitely can see how the questions would apply.

this is in relation to the slowly flowing water question.

really interesting video made by an autistic girl, first part is without speech the second she uses a typing speech device to communicate. worth taking the time if you don't have it skip forward to 3:14 for the subtitles and water bit.

Oh dear God. That looks really really shit. It's no Me, Myself and Irene.

Also, it seems that anytime Asperger's is mentioned in the media, Albert Einstein, Mozart and Eamon de Valera get brought up as some sort of qualification. I can't abide this shite where analysts retrospectively diagnose famous people who are long dead with aspergers or autism. Why can't they go and something proactive in their chosen field rather than spend their grants speculating? And even if they did have it, so fucking what, how does this information benefit anyone?

oh wow.

I just realised I sat beside and worked with someone maybe who had Aspergers. That rocking business, and the repetitive doing shit over and over.

He was really annoying. I mean, he was nice, Princeton Maths PhD, probably very smart, but jesus. I had to wear earplugs, and sort of angle myself away from him so that I couldn;t see that crazy rocking and rubbing things all the time.

His brother writes and produces House episodes.

Ditto on my parents, my son, the cat. Only one of the dogs though, the other one is clearly neurotic.

My dog is more of a borderline creature, somewhere between the schizoid and neurotic.

Yours looks like the exact flip side of mine. We must be polar opposites.

Why is the word 'Hunting' in the assessment? Maybe to accomodate Inuits.
