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
hmmm...

I resent that! (3) I now feel oddly inadequate having scored only 38. On the other hand, that's the same number as my age, and the same as Eric Gagne's jersery number. (See? I just can't help it.) ... though, to be honest, I thought half my answers were more to do with the old Attention Deficit Thingywhatsis... wait, now I'm all confused... -- Diane C Itinerant games programmer "Federal Espresso - When it absolutely, positively has to stay up overnight."

"A Bug is a piece ofcodethat knows whatz its purpose"There is no "good" or "bad". If you don't get along on a planet full of people, the number 37 might be connected to the reason for it, that's all. :)
