Your Aspie score: 110 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 125 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits
Looking at my chart, I have to wonder if there's a way to answer the quiz in such a way to get a five pointed star. The upper left corner of my graph looks like I was getting there.
Some thoughts: obviously you can't diagnose yourself from a test, blah blah blah. That said, none of this is particularly surprising considering my own family dynamics and my experiences thus far. Some of the questions made me pause a little and go huh, yeah I do that. Food for thought and later investigation of course.
Also? I hate the term "aspie." It gives me the same teeth baring word-hatred that "carbs" and "froyo" and "blog" do.
I've been jumping between live feeds of coverage from local news outlets in the city. My brain has been blipping at me to stop because it's making me super edgy, and yet, somehow the familiar voices of back-home TV anchors is also comforting. Still the images from NY/NJ of post-Sandy devastation are working the nerves. I've compromised by leaving a live stream on but minimizing the window.
It's actually turned out to be a nice day in Western MA - I've even seen the sun peek out a few times and there are patches of blue in the sky. Still gusty, and between yesterday and today the tree outside our window is working on being completely naked. Nothing really to indicate we were on the edge of the same storm that fuelled all the damage 156 miles south of here.
