Avril Lavigne -- "My World" Please tell me what has taken place 'Cause I can't seem to find a trace Guess it must've got erased somehow (poor short-term memory) Probably 'cau... |

| Dead split: 107 Aspie, 107 NT. I have a diagnosis, but I've always wondered if I might've been so desperate to get a diagnosis that I put on something of a performance for the analyst. Now, on this quiz, I deliberately tried to resist marking things that I was even vaguely uncertain of. How very odd. |

Cutlery on dinnerware, nails on chalkboard, etc. Fire alarms / fire drill bells. The sound that the door-locking device in the sociology department at my school make... |

| In addition to the above quibbles: anyone else happen to notice the "Dear Sirs?" I'm not a "sir," so until you tell me I'm welcome here, you're getting no input from me. Anyone still living under the "only boys have Asperger's" umbrella clearly hasn't completed a literature review sufficient to begi... |

| I hit my head a bit as a kid, but then seemed to give it up for a few years, almost inexplicably. When I was fifteen, I started cutting--thinking, oddly enough, that I'd "invented" it. I was battling what my parents considered a perfectionist streak, and whenever I felt overwhelmed--by friendship di... |

| No marked inability to read facial expressions, insofar as I've noted--though I do perform more poorly than expected on those online "What is This Face Feeling" tests. I have a great short-term memory, and a really poor long-term memory. My AS brothers and boyfriend can read lists and know them rote... |

| I'm still not sure if my AS diagnosis is accurate, because I don't do a whole lot of this. But there is one example that springs to mind: I was 18, and on my second evening at my very first job I ran out of things to do, so I went to the boss to ask what was next. He said, "Recovery.

| I'm female with diagnosed AS, and my boyfriend is also diagnosed AS. He has an encyclopedic memory--definitely a "little professor"--and quite a few, intense, special interests. I tend to develop special interests pretty infrequently, and they don't last for very long. Even when I do have them, I ha... |

| What about walking on the sides of your feet? Does that count? I don't think I've ever really walked on my toes, but I really like to walk on the sides of my feet, with the soles turned in. I'm terribly knock-kneed, so it feels more comfortable to me. I don't know if that's AS or just bad anatomy. |

Wow...I scored a 60.
I was really convinced that I was giving an adept neurotypical performance, too. |
