I score high on online tests for aspergers, now Alexithymia, ADD... and I am wondering if there is a test for "Normal", I would like to see if I score low on it.

The closest thing is probably the ND/NT score test, out of 200, on this site.

Yes. Go to your washing machine and set it on normal and then turn it on. You are testing to see if the normal setting on your washer works.

this washing machine lacks a "normal" setting. it's digital, either on or off.

Why should there a test for something that doesn't exist? :)

the existing tests go at it from the other side, that of comparative restrictions in capability. and if they can still use the term "handicap" in golf*, why can't they still use it to describe the disadvantages of people with various cognitive and physical restrictions which hamper their ability to cope in life?

*the number of strokes by which a golfer normally exceeds par for a course (used as a method of enabling players of unequal ability to compete with each other), e.g.
"his game struggles along in the 20-handicap range"
