Asperger Syndrome Test - what is your score?

14

41!

Which was a bit of a surprise!

I live a normal life, with no complications.

However I am an engineer, which may skew the results, or it may be the whole reason I am an engineer.

Score: 13

I scored 27 - though I imagine if I had taken this same test earlier on in my life I would have actually scored a little higher.

Female, 33. I am quite antisocial as well, except with family, and always thought I was a little different. Even so, the results were a little surprising.

Do you have children? If so do you objectify them or have emotional bonding issues with them.

The reason why I asking. Is my dad was a mechanical design engineer in aerospace for the years he worked. He is 87 now. And I am shocked beyond belief at how little bonding occured between him, my mother, me, my grand-daughter.

My mother and him were married for 50 years, he had not one tear to shed at her funeral. Yet according to him they were happily married. Go figure.

10 here.

I consider myself a friendly person, but not a social butterfly.

Thanks for the test Anubis. It was fun. I never really stopped to think about some of those questions before.

Why do most people want to impose a diagnosis on folks? I mean really - can't we just accept people for who they are?

some quistions cant be answered because its the moment when you are ask can differ . do you like to socialize . yes i do but not every day . same goes for the other ones . its just the way you feel at that moment in time .

I'm a 34 and social road kill. The irony is that I learned early on how to compensate in many ways, which only serves to get me in way over my head. People think, shit I don't know what they think, but I connect deeply, quickly, at a very honest level when meeting someone. I can mirror, pace and lead, yet have never studied NLP. Once the person gets to know me more the awkwardness comes out, or if the social situation begins to involve more than one person the rules change and devolve into patter, chit chat, social status plays, and other completely normal behavior that leaves me fucked. I'm outta there. "where did "AC" go he was here a minute ago? Oh he just does that, he's pretty weird, did you hear 'bla bla bla..."

The co-morbidity of PTSD type symptoms and effect in others in the group would be of interest to me. I for one have had depression, and medication induced issues to boot. I'm still not sure I'm Aspie, technically. There is evidence for Fetal Affects that could be a lot of it. Thumbs up to all that haven't been left a bug on the windshield of life.

very true

I'm a very happy 18

agreed, i scored 28.

I've never cared if I had Aspergers or not.
I seemed normal in my own way. People in high school and my friends just figured I was gifted in the areas of computers, science, and math.
Thinking back to when I was a kid I was always obsessed with technology, weather, and math stuff. I used to have one of those laptop things for kids that I always did math. I was able to do ratios and fractions before I was in the second grade.
I took electronics or mechanical things apart constantly and tried to put them back together.
I was also able to predict the weather very well and also name the types clouds in the sky and tell you what it meant.
Then when schools started getting computers I started messing around with them.

Now that I think about it I don't know why my parents or anyone else thought I would have Aspergers. I guess it's because it hasn't got much attention until now.
That and I also learned how to "act" in social situations. I would watch and mimic others (although I wouldn't copy them). This is how I used to learn how to play video games; I would watch someone play and when I tried to play I would automatically know what buttons on the controller to use and how to beat a level, etc.

What Is NT?

Neurotypical syndrome is a neurobiological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority, and obsession with conformity.

Neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one, or the only correct one. NTs find it difficult to be alone. NTs are often intolerant of seemingly minor differences in others. When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally rigid, and frequently insist upon the performance of dysfunctional, destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group identity. NTs find it difficult to communicate directly, and have a much higher incidence of lying as compared to persons on the autistic spectrum.

NT is believed to be genetic in origin. Autopsies have shown the brain of the neurotypical is typically smaller than that of an autistic individual and may have overdeveloped areas related to social behavior.

* The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Normal Disorders: 666.00 Neurotypic Disorder

How Common Is It?

Tragically, as many as 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical.
Are There Any Treatments For NT?

There is no known cure for Neurotypical Syndrome.

I think i scored around 28 back when this thread was made. I am socially similar to you. I prefer my small group of close friends to any rigorous social activity. i also like my computer xP a LOT.
