James you just sound like a typical introvert, not Asperger's. I understand you completely.

Yeah, it wasn't my intention to try and claim Asperger's. I don't meet nearly enough of the necessary criteria. That particular introverted perspective does seem to be common among those that do legitimately have it, though, although that's just based on my own personal experiences with those who are autistic, and that's hardly a sample size large enough to draw serious conclusions from.

I don't need to take that quiz. I am who I am!

Oh. Upon further inspection of the pdf thing, it would appear that I have mild ADD or something like that.
Wonderful.

It's weird how social situations are rarely (never) as exciting as you might imagine them to be. I can completely understand why you'd give up on the whole concept. "Small talk" is a terrible concept. The Native Americans had the right idea; don't say anything unless you have anything to say! Sadly, most people in Western cultures lack this sort of discipline. (That said, I love public transit. Joyriding on the bus was one of the small pleasures of my teenaged life. Maybe it'd have been different were I forced to make small talk.)

What do you find enjoyable? Quote: Quote:I don't need to take that quiz. I am who I am! It's true that autism is just another label...but then, knowing what you have can help you deal with those facets of your personality that might be seen as "odd" or otherwise unorthodox...or so I've been told. Quote:Oh. Upon further inspection of the pdf thing, it would appear that I have mild ADD or something like that. Honestly, I seriously doubt that anyone who completed that quiz could have ADD. I don't have ADD, and yet I still grew impatient taking it.

I remember taking that test once. Can't remember the numbers, but they were both around 100.

^Well, again, remember that you can have a label attached to you and still be who you are.
