You may be Autistic if...

Ah! O.K. my bad , let me rephrase my questions.

The Chandler & Macleod tests is the only reliable way to test if you're autistic ?

Anyone who was diagnosed using the DISCO method is probably not autistic as Wing , Gould & Murray don't know what they are talking about.

Anyone who has done the Chandler & Macleod test who didn't get an A letter is not autistic.

and by autistic I mean your arcane definition of autistic not the current meaning of the word ( having autism ).

Also , I think if you redid the test today you would get a 'P' in your score for comments like this

Wing for one had evidently misunderstood what Kanner meant by autistic, which, as I’ve pointed out ad nauseum, has a historical projection since Rosanof’s 1921 “theory of personality…”, so invented a different “autism”!

When you over analyze, over analyzing.

When you begin collecting articles about the Olympic Games in the year before the next Olympic Games

As the Tokyo 2020 Games approach, you begin watching videos of the last Games in Tokyo in 1964.

You play the same song so much that you dream about it.

Someone says be blunt you are and they get offended cos they didn't think anyone would be that blunt.

You rather sit outside in the cold and eat your meal than to be inside the restaurant near noisy kids (even though you dislike being cold).

Probably only a verbal dyspraxic thing...

You only like room temperature food cos your food always ended up like that as a kid and you're used to it now.

I try to warn people... if you ask my opinion, you'll get it. Probably best not to ask my opinion. Just one week ago I alienated an in-law for life because I neglected to mention this... in my defence I was ambushed and put on the spot... so I told it like it is.

You May Be An Aspie If...

... someone says, "Correct me if I'm wrong", and you do.

... someone says, "Give me your honest opinion", and you do.

... someone says, "Stop me if you've heard this joke before", and you do.

... you get called a jerk for doing what they tell you, and you do not understand why.

I've been called a Rangers fan (seriously), a Hibs fan and a Hearts fan this week just for being honest about the bad parts of football clubs...

Mum still brings up stuff I said as a 6 year old. Like she's offended by it still. Makes me feel guilty but I was 6…

Come to think of it this is maybe why I don't have friends...

...you have to carefully avoid mention of your current main interest because it will probably need to be explained to the person you mention it to, and you know you can't do that without going on and on for at least half an hour.

...you're purposefully vague about your interests because you know if you aren't, you'll end up going into far more detail than anyone else wants to hear.

...sometimes you just can't help yourself, and you end up monologuing for half an hour anyway.

...somehow almost all of your journal entries end up getting diverted to one of your current main interests, regardless of what you were originally writing about.

.... your day was even remotely similar to mine.

When people take you to a town you suggest takeaway meals because you don't want to sit in to eat. (I always tend to prefer take away meals, not because of the food value, but because they can be eaten outside, even if it is raining).

Oh dear.

Priceless... especially the last one.
