Another thing I've noticed is sometimes (most usually on a crowded bus or subway) I don't know where to put my arms/hands. Other times while walking I'll catch myself paying attention to the motion of swinging my arms, and even though it is completely natural it feels wrong and I find myself "correc...

Having recently joined WP and learning I am most certainly a fellow Aspie I was curious how my thought process was the same (or different) from others. When it comes to learning I really can only learn something if I do it myself. Observation or literary theory is never enough. I need to see a proce...

I took the Aspie Quiz and AQ test and scores were as follows:

ASPIE QUIZ:
Your Aspie score: 147 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 65 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

AQ:
40

For curiosity I had a family member and friend take the AQ test, they got 11 and 14 respectively.

Thanks for the replies! I just realized an additional, significant piece of information I excluded from my original post. I seem to be able to count without actually counting. As an example, I put something in the microwave and set the timer. Without accounting for time I "know" when the timer is ab...

My AQ is 40. I just posted some of my traits on this form (it's at the top right next to yours). It's funny that you say you act like you are not yourself. For years I have always said "time to put on the mask". This mask is different for every situation (family, friends, co-workers, specific people...

I was actually very thrilled to find an explanation for the way I am, but to also know I'm not alone. I have always felt "different". Even when I fit it in (I have several close friends and get along with many people) though I never belonged to a "clique". I always felt like an outsider and knew peo...

I saw this post and I what most people have said describes me perfectly. In school I had severe issues with authority, if something seemed illogical or not right I refused to comply as a "matter of principle", even if I was fighting someone else's battles for them. I was regularly suspended in high ...

Hello, I just wanted to get some feedback from fellow aspies. I'm a 24 year male, living independently for 6 years and am currently a self employed consultant (programmer). I have not been clinically diagnosed with aspergers (in fact my GP never heard of it). I had heard of aspergers before as my co...
