I was thinking about my diagnosis assesment earlier as I went past the place it today and thought is the diagnosis actually acurate because the phychologist was asking me questions such as

What's the difference between a boat and a door I answered it but it didn't make sense

Hans Asperger mentioned similar assessments in his original paper - I think it has to do with assessing logical reasoning and verbal skills.

The rest also sounds like an IQ Test to assess your strengths and weaknesses.

Whats the difference between a boat and a door?

That would make me stop and think of what to say. "Uh.... a boat is what you can ride in and a door you can't ride on it. You just go through it to get to another room."

Is that an NT answer or an aspie answer?

I think it's a stupid question anyway.

I spent the whole week asking that question where I used to work. Then I worked for Superdrug you know the Health and Beauty shop that is all over England. But I left as after I was diagnosed people changed towards me.

I did think that I didn't have anyform of AS by answering the question. Infact I was a bit scared of them saying that I have it.
