I took the The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) test ..

Post Reply New Topic

And scored a 33. Granted this isn't a definitive confirmation of anything - it sort of just confirms my suspicions. My father has AS, my cousin has AS and my other cousin has autism (low functioning.) My entire family is clumsy and we have very poor social skills. My dad will often just get up mid sentence and walk away. I do realize this is rude, but often times I don't really care because I am not talking TO him about what I am saying, moreso just saying it because it amuses me. We don't really have conversations as much as we all talk.

I have wondered my whole life if there was a way I could be different. Some things come easy and others make no sense. I am great around some people and others I can't even speak to (I don't like them or for whatever reason can't be bothered by them... they are almost "outsiders" to me and sometimes for no good reason)

I apologize for the rant, and I am not necessarily looking for anything here other than just to post my first thread and begin reading to see if I can determine if AS is really what I have. It makes sense though.

Well then judging on what you say you probably have it. My dad's like me too, he might very well be Aspie too

If it looks like a duck....... and it quacks like a duck.......

hope you find the answers you seek here.
