Take the Autism Quotient Quiz

July 18, 2008 By admin

Adult females typically score around 15. I scored 32, just a few points short of Asperger’s territory.

Those few points make all the difference. Someone with Asperger’s is rude to people and doesn’t even realize it or intend it. I’m rude to people and don’t care. They were born without a tact filter, and I’m just too lazy to use mine.

There was a lot on the quiz about not liking to be interrupted, but I think there should have been something about hating to have to repeat yourself. That’s a very introverted, nerdy “It took me a long time to come up with this insight and not only were you too dumb to think of it first, you didn’t hear it right the first time and just having to actually speak to another human being is so boring and exhausting” trait.
