I was curious as to how much I might have this, and I found this test:
http://oaq.blogspot.com/

Some links on the page don't work right, but you should be able to scroll down to take the test. The score is given in a pop up window.

I scored pretty high.

i am still young (16 on the 13/4/2009) so prehaps some of it hasnt come through for me yet (i have found that specifically in the last year, i have started displaying, and noticing more things about my behair and reactions in the last year)

If i could change anything right now, i would change:
my inability to continue throughout the day if i forgot something,

This is a problem which applies at school - should i be without my watch, i must go back and get it,

I also have a trait in which my watch, or another time-telling-device must be sync'ed to a local time source, at school, its the school bells, due to even things like temperature (Effecting the quatz rate of vibration inside the watches timing device) can affect it, so i am constantly recalibrating it.

However I love being able to tell exactly when the lesson is over - i am also used as a time soruce with my pears.
so i am proud of that,

but yeah its forgetting stuff, be it my phone, watch, memory stick etc.

Right now I would probably get rid of all my social difficulties and not being so sensitive.

Aggressive meltdowns. They're exhausting.

This.

The sensory problems would be my 2nd choice.

Probably the bad social skills, it's not always nice when you don't know what to say.

I came in at 165. I wasn't too bad in the F3 category (restricted imagination), but was all but maxed out elsewhere.

Thanks for the link.

To be not nervous so that I could act in a leadership way or not make mistakes when around other people. ;)
