At school, between the ages of 9 and 12, everyone in the school 9including my brother and I) were given something called "Richmond tests." These were, I have been told, a kind of IQ test. My Mum said that my brother and I were both "Above normal-A couple of points below gifted."
I have all 5 excitabilities, and although my brother seems very calm and is defuinately quite an introvert, I have noticed he does rock, rub his palms together, and talk very fast when he gets involved or excited about something. He always has to be holding, rubbing or touching something with his hands. they are never still. He asos has social awkwardness. So far, I have assumed he is NT, but this makes me wonder.

His behaviours do suggest a bit of AS indeed. I, and some other AS friends I have, all find that we do fiddle with things excessively. I always have to have my fingers moving, otherwise I cannot concentrate.
