And, another Aspie quiz.... ;) http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html

Agree: 2,4,5,6,7,12,13,16,18,19,20,22,23,26,33,39,41,42,43,45,46: 1 point
Disagree: 1,8,10,11,15,17,24,25,27,28,29,30,31,32,34,36,37,38,40,44,47,50: 1 point
Score: 43

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

Mine was 36.

I'm exhausted. Long day, way too many people, too much bright sunlight in my eyes, and I'm pretty strung out from the social interaction. I don't even want to cuddle with my hubby... just leave me the HELL ALONE.

I'm getting med-ed. :)
I know the feeling! Bright sunlight is a killer!

(Hope you're on your way to elevating away all those worn out feelings!!!!)

Gotta slip a quote in somewhere.... Ok, here will do...

You can assign an 8 man team of analysts and psychiatric professionals to observe and scrutinize my every movement.. They'll never figure it out, haha.
I recently got out of a psyc ward after staying in there voluntarily for 1 week after a failed suicide attempt and the psyc analysis at the end of the 1 week was pathetic...

"Very social and friendly, with antisocial traits. Type A and B personality (Narcissistic)"

That was my psyc evaluation... How helpful -___-''
I value your analysis more than theirs DDave so fire away hahaha

Eye contact is not a strong point of mine...

I'm ok with starting off with eye contact. Should the conversation go longer or deeply into a topic, I need to look away... Am working on focusing somewhere near the eyes, cheekbones, so it appears that I have eye contact.... Much easier to converse that way!

Not quite to this point:

I am not bad with eye contact, depends.. If it's a girl or someone I don't know I sometimes struggle, but I get 1-2 seconds of eye contact in there as often as I can! haha

Most often I can't go back to looking, once I've looked away...

The easiest way I can explain it is when I look back, most often they look like this... :o

The main difference between animal emotions and human emotions is that animals don't have mixed emotions the way normal people do. Animals aren't ambivalent; they don't have love-hate relationships with each other or with people. That's one of the reasons humans love animals so much; animals are loyal. If an animal loves you he loves you no matter what. He doesn't care what you look like or how much money you make.

If a request is not 'logical' then simply because the rest of society does something dysfunctional does not mean that an Aspie will do it also. Perhaps keep this in mind as you go about your daily life and attempt to see things through the 'Eyes of an Aspie' and you may just be a little more successful with your relationships and with life in general.

This quotation speaks loudly to a very big part of me: my extreme concern for animals, near & dear and far. At a gut level I can't abide the thrill of a hunter, or animal sports n entertainment - it grates me as simply being wrongful and unnecessary ...and inhumane. Now, without labeling myself (still haven't put my finger on it yet) I would hope that my counterpart in any space and time and moment will appreciate my point of view as valid and viable as I might theirs. I don't always take good aim, and even when I do, I miss (often). I may be (I am!) a problematic target who somehow makes it difficult for others to take good aim ...ugh! So much work on myself left to do. Onward!!!
