Is it an illness to be a geek ?!
-
I've heard a lot about "Asperger Autism", but yesterday I read a casual term for it: The "Geek Syndrome" ^. So I took part in a screening test ^, and got a score of 37 (eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher). Did anybody else take that test? How many possible "Asperger Autists" are here on CP, and... why the hell do those psycho-docs call it a syndrome?! It's not bad to be strange. If there was a little more tolerance for strange people, no "Aspi" would need any therapy. :rose: Have Fun testing yourself, coco

Well I scored 30, which is below 32 but still above average. Does that make me a geek? :) Rado

This comes as no surprise to me. However, I am quite lucky: Although I might find social groups trying, and can find it very difficult to express myself, I don't usually have any trouble reading others. I guess this saves me, as I know when to shut up :)

I got 40! :eek: Although some of the questions I was ambivalent about and would have prefered a neutral answer because I could not say if I agreed or disagreed with it.

You might have noticed that I sometimes explicitly ask if I'm talking too much.

Oh everything is an illness. Alcoholism is an illness. Gambling is an illness. Playing video games until 2 am is an illness. It's time people took responsibility for their own actions. ----------------------------- All truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
