Are you Aspergian?

[Et in Arcadia ego]

Your Aspie score: 39 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 168 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

Jeez, I have the same frigging score as Doodork..

Doodork, lovely but don't start sucking my dick yet.

What dick? I thought you were a woman..

Do you have difficulty completing online questionaires? YES/OFTEN

especially when the "168 mixed questions" only go to 129 and the page gives me no options or answers on where to go from there.

I also have difficulty with face recognition accompanied with no sense of direction, and it took me to the age of 35 to finally commit to memory that the fork goes on the left at the dinner table. do you think that relates?

anyway, i'd be interested in taking the test and getting a score if it would work right.

Try again. The page probably didn't load properly that time. Reload the page, then scroll down to make sure all 168 questions loaded. Right at the very bottom there should be a button with the word "Calculate" on it.

I always get my left/rights mixed up. I have to look at each of my hands in turn and say (or think) to myself "left... right." Tedious.

I have terrible time knowing left from right on command. Not the best for my navigation skills (I don't drive so I try to be useful to my chauffeurs).

One day I was out sightseeing with a very forthright woman who snapped in exasperation after a few too many sharp turns, "When it's time to turn left just say 'your door' and say 'my door' if you want me to go right."

That worked really well for me, it's more direct than "say this way" or "over here" and I have a better than 50% chance of getting it right and not making the driver crazy.

It can be awkward explaining it to the neurotypical but it gets us where we're going.

What the f*ck is wrong with this picture?

The Autistic Terrorist: A True Nightmare

Police Officer Michael Capobianco isn't afraid of much. A member of the elite Bureau of Special Operations he is a skilled marksman who practices jumping off building roofs, storming tenements and tackling drug crazed lunatics.

The one thing that terrifies Officer Capobianco is the specter of a wandering autistic child.

I'm a split, which astonished me because I'm quite intuitive, especially about other people. But then again, I'm also an Aquarian and a bit of a hermit, so that may explain things.

My face blindness used to be so severe that it was difficult for me to follow movies.

Taking that questionnaire was a bit odd because while I may exhibit this or that trait, it is also something I work around, so that I am not really 'that way' anymore.

I may have some social integration issues. But this is because of the absurdity of the world and its many actors, rather than some condition or disease. Because I recognized my alienation early I developed coping devices that allow for the appearance of 'normality', while still maintaining my personal (absurdist) take on the world. I keep the focus of my situation narrow enough so that I feel there is at least something within my control. Then with these habits in place, my mind can wander and look for substance behind the forms. Rather than the NT habit of lining the forms up in the socially acceptable way and hope (against hope) that that the essence of the form will just 'pop out' and you will have Truth (or the cure for cancer.)

You are very likely an Aspie

I've been told in the past that I have "autistic tendencies". So, this wasn't really a surprise. However, I don't view this as a negative overall. I have no problem "acting" my way through just about any social situation. And, in my job, the plusses of this personality type; detail oriented, talent for finding unconventional solutions to complex problems, the need to thoroughly plan and prepare for trips, etc.; are greatly appreciated.

But, most importantly, I find my life to be deeply fulfilling. It is those who are less able to immerse themselves into a subject and who are more dependent on others for their sense of well-being that I feel have been dealt the lesser hand.

NT 172

have usual problems of questionnaires, many questions should be answered with 'it depends what you mean by x'

eg difficulty remembering verbal instructions, how complicated a set of verbal instructions?

[Jeff]

A lot of the questions resonated except for the ones on empathy. My problem's always been the reverse - I can empathize too much sometimes for my own health - and from what I've read that's atypical of aspies.

I suppose everyone has some variation on a syndrome. I think my long-term care self-diagnosis of "misfit" is still more accurate.

ah, a rebel WITH a clue.

[Susserer]

The empathy thing, yeah.

I can't tell you how many times one of my NT (supposedly empathetic) friends came up to me to show me the neat made-in-China whatsit that they just bought from the dollar store.

I pretty much say the same thing everytime....

Do you know that China has 10 million people in prison doing forced labour... yadda yadda

I can't buy stuff made in China, in sweatshops, by children and feel good about it.

There is a story within the story here.

This test demonstrates the absolute idiocy and cruelty of people who insist on an over-reliance on "science" and are always trying to force that method of approaching life unto others with great smugness and authoritarianism. Or perhaps there are some who think authoritarianism requires the use of a taser or other weapon, and cannot be expressed in words and concepts.

That page will not reliably load and display completely. For any one strongly Aspergian, this would be a source of intense frustration and discomfort. But fuck 'em, right? They are just the lab rats in this little experiment.
