| Set up a micro To-Do-list for every part of the process: Example. 1. Collect the trousers, that need to be washed. 2. Soak them. 3. Put them in hot water and scrub. 4. Shift the water. 5. Clean out the soap. 6. Dry them. .....mission accomplished! Reward yourself.... and go to next micro to-do list.... |

...and I got Machiavellianism on "Everybody can be manipulated" which is common knowledge, but this test might interpret it as "I want to manipulate" - which isn´t true.
Difficult test, because it is difficult to know how to interpret the questions. |

| Splinter-skills are super skills in one particular area. They show in the jagged skill/intelligence curve in autistic individuals at many levels. I was hyperlexic too - ate a book in 3 hours, when I was 9. Math - well - quite another matter :roll: At 3-4 years, however, I could memorize a Mozart con... |

Hmm. Clapping, rubbing of hands and finger-flickering are things, I just do as response to exitement - no matter where. Maybe the other things will be freed of control with time. People just have to accept....Hmmm. I just have to accept  |
