| Oh geez apparently I was overthinking this test. You mean we weren't supposed to try and recognize patterns?? Maybe that's why my brain age was so high (I'm 30). It seems to put more weight on reaction time than accuracy. I'm going to retake twice. Once just "going with my gut" and second with entir... |

| I got all correct, except I wasn't fast enough for one so ended up with 59/60 score. My mental age was 38 ?? I'm guessing this has to do with the reaction time of 688ms I think that there was likely some bad wiring from the get go (executive functioning issues), but I've learned to compensate by "ru... |

| This is an interesting thread. I haven't been officially diagnoses asperger's. I was diagnosed pdd-nos at age 13 more than 15 years ago. I took the WAIS and scored all over the place, ranging from just below average to high gifted depending on the subsection. A few years back I went into the navy re... |

| Very interesting. I'm not sure if I've got an occipital bun or not, but there is a bump back, center, and at the bottom of my skull about 1 1/2 inch diameter. It's definitely not as large as a Neanderthal bun, but perhaps over the eons this has morphed some bit? I've also got hazel eyes which vary f... |

| Daniel Tammet is not a prodigious or autistic savant. He is an AQUIRED savant, he aqured his savant-like abilities though brain injury. Yes I know what wiki says *rolls eyes*, but see what he says for himself about it. It's the most common way for non-autistic people to become savants. And just won... |

| Savants are people with rewired brains. There's usually some sort of brain damage, and neuroplasticity takes over with the result being an exceptional skill at times. About 10% of hfa/aspergers have some sort of savant skill. I'm a savant of sorts for certain types of games. I play merit megatouch g... |

| All psychiatric "disorders" are based in pseudoscience. You mean that the concept of "disorder" is outside the bounds of science, correct? I mean that science is currently incapable of diagnosing a psychiatric disorder. I also mean to say the concept of a disorder is absurd. which two individuals h... |

Thanks for the reply.
All opinions are welcome, of course.
I've not got it all figured out and would much like for others to expand this train of thought or attempt to burst my bubble if they see fit. |
