Older one was:
Your Aspie score: 157 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 51 of 200
AQ-score: 36 of 50
Wow I can't believe I got the exact same score on both tests. I win!! |

| Well it depends what I'm thinking about, as there are some things which can only expressed using one or the other or even both. For instence if I'm thinking about the interaction of data structures for a program, then to me that is inherintly visual. Similiarly if I'm thinking about philosophical th... |

Im in campus accomidation now, living with 5 other people but it always takes me at least 4 months before I know everyones name, because I don't use them so ... |

| I was just wondering on my way home from college today, if there is a link between introversion and self deprecation. Personally speeking I am a very introverted person, as are most people here I'm sure. I also have the habit of downplaying any positive attributes I may (or may not) have. I am well ... |

| I guess you could say I'm obsessive about anime, a friend got me into it about 2 years ago and I have stockpiled and watched at least 500GB's of it in the intervening time. Sometimes I wonder what I did with my time prior to getting into it. As per the orginal posts question; while there are some an... |

Still tho aside from having no real problem with the exsistance of girly girls, I don't think I could ever be really involved with one. I wouldn't be a... |

Therefore whenever I forget exactly which hand is which I can just rub my thumb against my finger and that sets me straight. Failing that I really like that writing L and R on their hands th... |

| Personally I have no problem with girly girls, I think they are a bit weird, especially that shoe fetish thing that they all seem to have. Maybe its just me but I have NEVER noticed what shoes a girl is wearing, so if they need heels just to make them seem taller, or their legs longer then thats all... |

| I'm very quite, sometimes I go days at a time without uttering a word (and yes I do live with other people). When I went to a shrink to ask about AS she told me I couldn't possible have it because people with AS never shut up, anyway I'm quite so there you go. |
