So do you think you have it?

I scored a 23, I would have guessed higher. I'm antisocial as all heck but I could give a f about numbers, I think that's where I lost points. >:(

The scale looks weird also, 15 is " Average woman, and average male or female biologist"

This test is just for fun but, yeah, I'm almost sure I do. I'm been convinced of it for about 5 years now.

I was 30 when I first realized it and at that point I was just relieved to have a a much better understanding of myself. If that happened at 16 I don't know if I would have been that positive about it.

Yeah...I think I can relate to having those revelations later in life. At some point it just becomes a relief. Being a teen sucked for me. Now I embrace my dysfunction. It's a lot easier to create a life that fits once one is out on his own.

It was a big relief. So much made sense after that. Prior to that I tried to ignore it but it was always in the back of my mind.

Are you into numbers or dates?

I saw a lot of the questions dealt with that.

Conley

Too personal of a question?

Mister D
09-20-2011, 03:28 PM
Too personal of a question?


Not at all. I just forgot to come back here.

Not particularly but I am really into history. It's obsessive and I almost feel history. I'm compelled to collect antiques as well. It's hard to explain.

What clued me in most of all were the physical symptoms especially when I was a child. That is a little personal, I guess. Aspergers is essentially autism.

Conley
09-20-2011, 03:36 PM
Yeah I won't ask about your childhood, but I can imagine it was tough.

Interesting...thanks for explaining. I am definitely avoidant but I don't know that there is any other classification for me.

At this point in my life I don't care what label they have for me. I think I am pretty much done with the shrinks. ;D

Conley
09-20-2011, 03:37 PM
Feeling history sounds pretty wild. I'm sure there are drawbacks but the idea on the surface sounds cool.

Conley
09-20-2011, 03:45 PM
I tend to obsess as well...I guess that's the word for it.

OK, enough about me! :D

It is kind of cool to be honest. I'm happy with the way my mind works. It what I'm used to and, more importantly, it's who I am. Am I going to start worrying about now? Of course it has its drawbacks even now that I know what the deal is. For example, you tend to analyze even the most trivial BS especially in social situation or at least I do. Expressions and nuances of speech etc. It can be really irritating. Socializing just doesn't come naturally to me. I often read in bars which most people thin is weird but I'm in my own world sometimes. There is nothing I hate more when I'm at a bar and the person next to me needs a conversation partner. I find it exhausting.

:D Well, enough about me. I just saw this test online and thought I'd post it.

I scored 35.


I'm not sure you can test for asperger's once you've been married with kids for over a decade, at least not from an online questionnaire.

I took the test twice, the first time I'd factored in everyone/everything and scored a 39. The second time I took it - removing the wife and kids from the equation and I scored a 21. I thought about splitting the difference between the two scores but decided not to.

I like psychology. Mental abnormalities interest me. I do have extreme social anxiety, but it doesn't appear to influence my score on this test.

My aunt's ex-boyfriend and long time band mate has some severe Aspergers or something. He goes on and on about uninteresting things and never takes the social cues that his rambling is unwanted. The problem is just as much with him as it is the politeness of the people he's talking to, who do not have the gull to let him know that he needs to stop. He walks in uninvited without knocking, and at times his comments can be impolite or even slightly insulting. He is oblivious to how inappropriate he is being, or how uncomfortable he can make people feel, or how boring his ramblings are, or how dumb his quirky greetings are. He always talks about his mother. We get updates on his mother and stories about her every time he's around. If you try to change the subject, he lets you have a few words, then he goes back to what HE was talking about. :laugh: He's very annoying but I kinda feel bad for the guy. Hell of a guitar player, though.

I have two bars where patronize and know several of the staff and managers. One near work, and one near home. The one near home is a cool Irish Pub. I went there on St. Patrick's day and they waived me through the line and the cover charge and gave me a free drink for showing up.

I never understood why "dog" was used as an insult. I guess because they'll hump and/or eat anything. So yeah that probably works for most members of Congress.

That was my gripe with this test, if you factor in the wife and kids - it'll render the test useless - hell, it might even be something like that Willis "I see dead people" movie and the government is monitoring the results, that if you answer all the questions, factoring in the wife and kids, you might have a couple of Federal agents kicking down your door putting two bullets in your head and one to the heart or some other nefarious group tracking this stupid shit to find out who the next "Rainman" is, so they could make a killing at the blackjack tables at some of the newer indian casinos...

Ah, I see. I don't think I considered my OL when I answered. I'm sure I'd have done better on the kids questions if I actually had some of my own.

They don't affect it in any way. I've been married for well well over 20 years and my kids are raised and gone. I don't see the relationship between either. The questions were presented well, anybody who thinks that being married changes their answers were over thinking the thing.

My father (a very good man) was kind of hands off too. He is a loving man and would do anything for us but he was kind of uninvolved domestically if you know what I mean? He'd take us to games, and army bases and stuff like that but at home he kind of did his own thing much of the time.
