Have you all seen this video? It shows numerous different personality types for people with autism and Asperger's.

What do you think about it? It says most people are a combination of 2 or 3 different types..

I'm more the artistic type, not the extrovert.

Einstein, Numan and Carrol types.

Einstein and Numan types, with a little bit of Warhol.

Was it helpful for you to see the different personality types for people with Asperger's or Autism? (according to the person that did the video)

Did it seem fairly accurate and make sense?

I'm just kindof wondering how many people agreed with the video's depiction of those personality types.. It makes quite a bit of sense to me, although, like they say most people are 2-3 different types...

Einstein, Numan, Carrol, Warhol.

Where's the Rain Man type?

After all, it deals with fiction.

Was hoping to find just one that fit instead of, okay some of Numan, some of Carroll, some of Einstein etc..

Numan and morrisey, except i don't think i'm bi-polar.>-<

Mostly Carroll, a little bit of Numan and Morrissey. Mabe just a dash of Einstein. If I had to pick just one it'd definately be Carroll, though.

i got a major in Morrissey
with a minor in Carroll

Einstein, Carroll, Warhol.

Also, where's the Hitler type?

Likes animals better than people. Good at talking to a crowd of people on a set topic; poor with interpersonal relationships. Lacking in emotional reciprocity and empathy. Rigid thinking. Prefers order and routine.

None of the above.

And the "people are usually a combination" thing just enables the Forer Effect to be invoked, as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, but I think this was meant to just be more amusing than pseudoscientific.

True.
