There were a few questions - oh crap, I'm not normal.
Eccentricity is far more interesting and amusing for all concerned

Hmm.
Actually, some of the questions were a bit intimidating. I was like "is that not normal then?" you know?-

I know what you mean about the - is that not normal? //At the same time though// I knew that they were hinting at summat.
Blimey
Well my mate has a young boy with Aspie and e ays that many people have Aspie traits without being full blown Aspergers. You have to have a certain number of traits before you're diagnosed with it. Helly would know more about it. xxxx-

Yeah, I agree.
Actually, I know I am a bit OCD about somethings, whereas others I don't give a stuff about, but I think that is normal for a lot of people.-

Yeah
I get mega bothered by Mini moving things out of place in the house. Not like everything's got a direct 'spot' or anything, but I get more than a little bit P'd about it

My BIL has an obsession about washing dishes, and he does everything in a certain ordeer. If something then turns up that belongs to a group he has already done, he has to do everything again from the start. He's got a dishwasher now.
Me? I like patterns on crockery to match up. I can't sleep if I think they are out of alignment, and so I now have plain crockery. Another thing is counting things. Bollards, lines on the road, street lamps. It can ruin my journey if they don't add up. -

Aspie score: 90
neurotypical: 87
What that means I have no idea, but got bored of the quiz at question 100 and wondered when the thing was going to finish!

I, of course, obsessively did the test to the bitter end. My Aspie score was somewhere in the 140s, my Neurotypical score was somewhere in the 50s. (The actual numbers are posted in Landers' blog.) I've never seen this test before. Interesting. Some very strange questions.

I forgot you had Aspergers. It doesn't affect you loads though, does it? xxxxx

Actually, yes it does... though not as much as it used to. Over time I've learned to compensate for or work around some of the limitations I have, such as being unable to "read" other people (ie, interpret non-verbal communication cues). And there are some advantages (eg, an analytical mindset, a knack for spotting patterns and incongruities other people miss) that I've learned to put to good use.

That's excellent, Xenon! My friend's little boy can't understand some phrases that folk use. Before she told me he has Aspie I thought he was being sarcastic! And I was impressed by the level of sarcasm in one so young!
He takes everything literally, so you have to be careful how you phrase things.
The Head Teacher was telling him off one day and (as they do) was shouting at him. He screwed his face up and said //"Why are you shouting? I'm right **here**!"//
Have you ever thought about liaising with parents of children with Aspergers? Pass on the things you've learnt in coping and understanding? It sounds to me that you're really on top of it and dealing very well with it all. xxxxx-

Heh. I am reminded of an incident in grade school, in which a teacher was admonishing me about something or other (I don't recall what), something where my performance or whatever was not up to par. And he ended by telling me that I had better "pull up my socks". So, dutifully, I did just that: I reached down and pulled up my socks. He went ballistic. And at the time I had absolutely no idea why he suddenly became very angry.

LOL! That's classic, Xenon! Did it all become clear to him at some point? When were you diagnosed? My friend's kid went through loads of tests to eventually be diagnosed with it, and his mum had been sure of it for years. She had to teach him how to play cos he just didn't know how

No, actually, he never clued in, and I got sent to the principal's office. I dimly remember the principal patiently trying to explain (with some exasperation) what "it's just an expression" meant.
I was diagnosed 5 years ago, late enough for it to not really matter. Other than finally I had an explanation as to why I always felt "different"... *shrug* -

I got 100 - a borderline case..I think the fact that I generally dont like people very much clinched it for me in the Autie stakes, although I can tell if I am supposed to laugh at a joke...which makes me "normal"..
I'm eccentric either way, and my pixie, Kenneth, agrees with us.
