This feels very shaky to me, sometimes the answer was "well yes and no," other times it might be "oh god yes."
In retrospect there's also a few questions I should have answered differently. Like the whole mimicking animal sounds thing. In retrospect I do try to mimic my cats and dogs. And I find it interesting how it's fairly easy to do a decent meow, but barks are very difficult.

Provided that I have all the information, it's like a very relaxing examination where I know all the answers and can just fill them in in a leisurely sort of fashion.

There are other forms that have made me want to strangle small wildlife, however.

Huh. Never thought of it like that. For me, forms are like "oh god why am I doing this pointless crap when I could be having fun or actually contributing to something. ARGHLADGKJABL" So I usually feel like strangling small, adorable wildlife afterwards because of it.

Sadly, all the small, adorable wildlife in my area is too damn fast for me to catch and strangle.

Well, frankly, I love taking exams (as long as they're not math exams, which I tend to get kind of upset about), so I can recognize the inherent value in exam-taking that

a. gets me something I want
b. I am guaranteed to pass

[Solifuge]

The biggest trend I've noticed is we seem to, as a whole, commonly share more autistic communication and social traits than neurotypical ones. The rest of the scale seems to vary.

I enjoy test-taking... there's something reassuring about it for me. I can check my knowledge or opinions against something, and prove to myself that I know more than I used to. I like to turn a question over in my head for a while, to make sure I'm answering it truthfully and accurately, which can cause stress with a time-limit, though.

Tests like these are nice, since I can compare my current opinion of myself against the test's opinion of me, and maybe learn a few things.

EDIT:

I'd read the translation of Hans Asperger's 1943 paper, then.  Apparently AS people were useful enough despite ailments that he argued against genocide.

I'm trying to find a translated version of the paper, but having no luck save for some translation/excerpts in books. I might need to have Sluggo translate parts of it for me. That, or buckle down and get back to learning languages.

Next up: Finally that "What pokemon (or, for people like Tenshi, What Digimon ) are you?"-test!

Heheh

I'm sure you could find the official Uta Frith translation somewhere.

Here she is doing retrospective commentary, anyway.

EDIT: If you have access to an academic library, they are fairly likely to have at least one copy of this book.

That, or buckle down and get back to learning languages.

This is always recommended.

I'm doing this test and I'm getting worried. Insofar a dubious online test can worry me, that is...

...and that would be the book I found, with paraphrasal/excerpts.

Didn't think to check for her as an official translator for the original, though. I'll poke around and see!

EDIT: I'm currently not able to access our online paper database unless enrolled for a semester, but I can certainly try to find that book at the student library.

[Vector]

Yeah, she's pretty much the only translator (and it was a very recent translation), so if you want it in English you'll likely have to get it through her.

Screw them, I'm popular and well liked.

[Darvi]

Aspies can be popular and well-liked; Just look at Vector.

It means that you somehow cannot function normally in social situations, or something. Dunno, forgot the main symptoms and definition of Aspergers.

I guess I grew out of most problems I had.  I don't really have any issues like when I was younger.  It's not important anymore either because I took myself off the special ed program as quickly as I could because I don't need that shit.  Now I'm going into college and doing things I could never do before without freaking out or crying. 

Now depression and the inability to connect with anybody around me...

Spoiler: I'm a potato :D (click to show/hide)

A big, hearty potato.

I've been a victim of bullying for far longer in my life than I would approve of. Meaning, even in my adult life, some people just love being an asshole towards me exclusively; and in the past, since elementary school, it did cause a few social problems in me; but at least nowadays, I have grown past it and got better, and no longer give a crap, or instead try to use their psychology against them. Return the venom back to what bit me. Oftentimes, it seems that regular people associate me as a pure aspie, despite the fact that I'm a highly functional one. Other times, I'm interpreted as a rude and rather crude regular person. Truth of the matter is that I just stopped caring about what people perceive me as anymore, and just act naturally. Oddly enough, my normal behavior is still looked upon as odd, even though I've seen stranger behaviors in other people, and even witnessed a few double-standards as well; of course, being too polite not to call them out on their speedy judgement.

EDIT:
Am I the only one that managed to somehow score both marks above 100 pts.?

EDIT EDIT:
Scratch that, I guess not. Found a couple.
