Excited! But also...I don't know anymore...

Hey! It's been a while, I know. I just got back from ANOTHER hospital a week ago tomorrow, and things were much worse before that! But now I'm half-decent, and I'll tell you all the news I got a few days ago.

Welp, I was told that my IQ is around 145! Now, I don't know if that's higher or lower, but I feel like the smartest person ever I am NOT letting it get to my head, though. I don't want to be all stuck-up like the kids in my Gifted program at school.

I just asked my mom, actually, if I could join MENSA. Does everyone know what that is? Is there anyone out there that is a member? What's it like? And if there are no members out there, does anyone have a higher IQ that's comorbid with your autism? I would LOVE to know how everyone gets along with it! So far my Gifted program is nonexistent--they meet for 23 minutes 4 times a year--less than 2 hours a year of time together. It's really annoying--I wish there was something more like my middle school, where we met daily! Anyone else have problems with their gifted program?

A lot of questions, whew! I'm just happy to be getting back in the swing of things.

At one point I thought I'd like to take the Mensa test to see if I qualified. I never did though because I thought I might fail and, even if I did pass, I still wouldn't join them because it's really a social group setting and I stopped doing social years ago.

I am glad that you are doing half decent. Good job.

I tested and joined MENSA. It is a large organization with local groups that have regular meetings. I have not attended any meetings (yeah, anxiety). I read the magazine they put out and consider going to the big meeting because it is in the same city I live in.

I wish I knew my IQ

what are the IQ tests like?
