Apparently I Don’t Have Aspergers Syndrome…

… and instead am neurotypical. What is Neurotypical? I guess it’s time to Wiki it. Does it mean, what, “typical”? [edited to add: Yes, of course it bloody does. I am an idiot.]
Surveys are bunk, mind. I totally had to try and see through it, to my instinctual reactions rather than the conditioned responses I started working on in my teens, when I realised that if I didn’t adapt, I’d struggle.
So fuck knows what the real report might read. Probably, if my school life is anything to go by, “must try harder”.
The test, for those of you daft enough to bother, is here: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

Wow. Not sure what to make of your results, actually. They either prove that you are SUPER-Neurotypical, or that the test itself is broken.
Really? Not even a tiny bit Aspie?

Your Aspie score: 84 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 132 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical
So I guess that “neurotypical” means non-autistic. But 132 out of 200 doesn’t sound all that convincing to me…

Wow. Steev’s a really great hunter.

I’m still a bit concerned that the two of you have such distinctly patterened charts, whereas mine is all over the shop.
Having said that, J told me that his wouldn’t even return results on his answers. He actually broke the test…!
