Thought I'd say hello

Post Reply New Topic

So hello;

I stumbled onto this website yesterday after someone in another forum said he had Aspergers.
When he listed the symptoms, I thought wait a second this sounds just like me.
I looked it up in Wiki and read tons more about it and while im hesitant to diagnose myself
with anything, the similarities are very hard to deny.
I have always known I was different and in fact I've always felt superior to everyone else,
I dont know if that has anything to do with this or maybe just my ego lol.

I took the "are you an aspie" test last night and here are my scores

Your Aspie score: 138 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 68 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Also, like a lot of others it appears, I was a computer tech for 6 years and have been
a network engineer for 9 years. I do another type of work to, during hurricane season
I go to damaged homes and adjust claims for peoples insurance company.
That ones kinda tough though because we are told to show empathy to the customer
so Ive gotten good at pretending like i care.

K, enough talk

Hello and Welcome!

Howdy

Yeah think that's what I hit on the apsie part, my NT was a bit higher. But then I needed help to take the damn thing, she had to tell me things I do, I've just done them for so long, I thought everybody did them. So I had to have an NT help take the freakin thing. Did I mention I don't like tests?

Welcome

I got an Aspie score of 179 on that thingy. But, I realized after taking it that I made a mistake on one of the questions and would have scored one eighty-something if I'd answered correctly.

Welcome to WP!

Hi!

Welcome to Wrongplanet!

I hope you enjoy posting here!

I hope you have an excellent time here on WrongPlanet, I know I have. I thought it would be cool if I could chat to a bit more people though, so I would appreciate it if you'd reply back (by the private message link) please.

How old are you? I am 13 years old, still a little wee.

If you like writing stories then I recommend posting a poem, essay or short story on the Writing link on this site. I myself have posted some but as far as I know they haven't returned yet.

in Texas, its just my son and I though, my daughter lives with her
mom across the State.
I dont do poems or any other writing, I do play video games though,

Anyway, have a good weekend everyone.
