I am animistic, so I try to treat the spirit in every item fairly.
But that might not be really a religious thing, so otherwise I am an unorganised post-christian neo-pagan, perhaps. |

| Attwood describes Aspergers as around one hundred characteristic traits. All humans have at least 20-30 of them, but to be autistic you need to have at least 70-80 of these traits, and among them, most important, the four corner traits. You could say that all humans have all traits, it is just the l... |

| If, as here in Sweden, the general culture is sort of "autistic-ish" in some regards, with larger distances between people, then I think it is even harder to be autistic since there are really no apparent inroads for meeting people, if you are on the outside of society. |

| The aspie quiz and other such tests are not meant to grade people according to severity, but just to indicate whether someone has autistic tendencies or not, and the tests are not proof either way. Regardless of how imperfect these tests are, I still think that there is something which can be calle... |

| Dont see how neurotypical could have a "spectrum". I took the Aspie-Quiz and I didn't score 0/200 ND and 200/200 NT, so it has a spectrum. Yes, but those who are NT also fall on the Autism Spectrum - they don't have their own NT spectrum. I'm not saying that all NTs are the same or anythi... |

Autism is very serious to me, even if I am a mild case. Socially I feel locked in a bubble without any possibility of getting in contact with anyone. I just have no idea how.
OCD behaviours like hoarding are also problematic, and being unable to do anything about it. |

Pepole find it odd that I can remember particular lines of what they said, word for word, in a casual conversation years ago, so they apparently do not remember such.
On the other hand, I have very bad memory of recent stuff, and I have forgotten most of the older stuff too. |

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 146 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 46 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)
