Aspergers Quiz

I took this quiz on Asperger's syndrome. The results follow:


Your Aspie score: 80 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 136 of 200

You are very likely neurotypical


ADD-score: 22 of 78
You might have ADD

The ADD thing isn't any surprise. I was a little surprised that I didn't score a little more towards the Aspergers side of things. I don't think I have the disorder but I've had a number of people over the years tell me that I'm borderline for it. Ha! This quiz proves them wrong. (assuming the quiz is a good measure of the symptoms)

You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

Most of my Aspie traits involve social situations. That makes sense, as I HATE crowds!

Hi Dave.

Well, I just had to take the quiz, as I love these sorts of things. Then I had to go to Wikipedia to find out exactly what Aspberger's Syndrome is.

Here's my score:
Your Aspie score: 75 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 169 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical
ADD-score: 20 of 78
You might have ADD

So, when I looked at my chart and compared it to yours, I was able to make some interesting (though surely non-scientific) conclutions.

First, I've thought I might have ADD for awhile now, but if I did, it would be mild. My Aspie chart was almost completely round on the neurotypical side, all reaching to the outer ring. The only spike I had on the Aspie side was for compulsive behavior; that went up to a four. This seems to me to be consistent with my suspicion that I may have mild ADD - given the fact that I am often startled, easily distracted and hyperfocused when I need to be.

Now, your comment that a number of people have said over the years that you're borderline for Aspies and you thinking that you didn't made sense when I looked at your chart; your highest spike is in the
social skills. Combine that with your nuerotypical, high score on communication (which I've seen demonstrated in your blog), and the two statements make complete sense. You do not shy away from communicating as a person with Aspie's would, but at the same time, you may have the tendency to speak out confidently, yet lack the empathy needed to see when one of your statements may be socially uncomfortable to others. Maybe. Possibly.

Like I said, just observations on the charts. Very interesting! Thank you.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
