Hi, I just found this forum. My idiot brother outed my strangeness to the world. He did it by putting a question on Yahoo! Answers, (which I found while looking for something else) asking people if I were from another planet, and then he admitted spying on my computer when I wasn't looking!

I found this forum because one of the answers had a link to this forum as the source. The good news is, the people that answered him seemed to treat me pretty well, and that's better than what I get from most.

I took the aspie quiz, and I'm guilty as charged. My aspie score was 143 / 200, my NT score was 63 / 200, so I'm most likely an aspie. Well, so what? I guess if there's enough people in the world similar to me to call it something it can't be that unusual, right?

It's kinda nice to know you're not alone, even though finding out that your uniqueness has a diagnosis.

Hi Kevin,

If it was titled "Was my brother switched at birth with a space alien's baby?", yes, I've noticed his post on Yahoo Questions. I tried to put in a good word for you in my answer to him.

Don't worry too much about it. I think many NTs would think your brother just isn't as smart and cool as he thinks he is. The replies he got show that.

BTW, I found his post looking for other things, also. We share some common interests, and to give you a clue which interest I'm talking about, you're a member of my Yahoo Group, and, no, I never lived in Watertown.
