| I am a cook, and have a very deep and broad knowledge of most things food related, some people hate it, some people love it. Usually my boss likes it as I let them take credit for a good idea and I work hard, but people seem to struggle sometimes when I talk about the Rockwell hardness of their kniv... |

| The thought of ceasing to exist scares me no end, there will be so much that I miss out on, the one thought that gives me comfort is that I highly suspect I will not be aware of my lack at the time and this thought/mantra seems to make me feel better. I am more scared of the process of dying and the... |

| I was tested for giftedness, but did not rate, lol. I had trouble caring about the actual test (though I did care about the result) and just wanted to go have lunch. As an adult I work as a chef/cook and while I have an immense knowledge of much that is food related (which is occasionally highly reg... |

| Well, I don't know how much my life is affected.... I work as a chef, which tends to attract quite a lot of strange people so the tolerance for weird is quite high. I have had probably more that 20 jobs in the last 16 years or so, I can't deal with aggression in people, but this seems to be mostly c... |

| I don't really trust my own judgements, I think I just need confirmation. I have no intention of seeking "treatment" as I quite like my brain the way it is, I think that I mainly just want to understand. I also have a 2 year old daughter who seems to share some traits with me, and as she is too youn... |

| Hi, I'm pretty new to this so please bear with me. A little back story, I am 33 and a couple of days ago my wonderful wife passed on to me the Aspie quiz and said that quite a few of the questions reminded her of me, and on doing the test I realised the same thing (Results were Aspie = 184, NT 19). ... |

Your Aspie score: 184 of 200
Your Neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 19 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
I did it twice, just to double check, I got the exact same score (even though some of the questions are a little confusing and I struggled with answering). |
