The autism spectrum

[Andrew_Gee]

Your Aspie score: 98 of 200

Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 117 of 200

You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

Here's a few "aspie" questions I answered 2/2 to, and I feel these are the most accurate about me, by far:

• As a child, was your play more directed towards, for example, sorting, building, investigating or taking things apart than towards social games with
  

other kids?

• Do you or others think that you have unconventional ways of solving problems?
  
  
• Do you feel an urge to correct people with accurate facts, numbers, spelling, grammar etc., when they get something wrong?
  
  
• Do you need to do things yourself in order to remember them?
  
  
• Are you easily distracted?
  
  
• Do you find it very hard to learn things that you are not interested in?
  
  
• Is your sense of humor different from mainstream or considered odd?
  
  
• Do you get very tired after socializing, and need to regenerate alone?
  
  
• Do you often have lots of thoughts that you find hard to verbalize?
  
  
• Do you find it difficult to figure out how to behave in various situations?
  
  
• Do you tend to shut down or have a meltdown when stressed or overwhelmed?
  
  

Growing up, I spent most of my younger years online playing checkers/chess/reversi/go-moku building lego, memorizing songs on the back of CDs and how long the songs were, every lyric etc., but also doing outdoor activities (climbing trees, exploring, wanting to race people, I had/slightly have an obsession with running and a lust for competition -- even though these activities were done with people, I would typically venture off by myself) Overall, I'm not your typical introvert. I'm more of am ambivert, which is in between - although I am more on the introverted side. I get random bursts of energy where I need to be around people. I get bored of what I'm doing frequently and need to be around people, usually those whom I'm comfortable around though. I'm not awkward at all, I can really put on a good facade and seem really REALLY social. Other times, I hardly talk and just feel like recharging my battery with my PC. Also, when talking to people, it really frustrates me to no end when I'm doing all the talking and they're listening and not giving a stimulating input. I also have a large tendency to act on impulse, i.e, I didn't even bother editing this post or re-reading it before I posted it. Oh, and one more thing: I really thrive and am at my happiest/best when I make goals/get inspired from something. That stuff just makes me go woohoo!

woohoo
