This thread's title gave me a stupid idea for a pun: Lark's Tongue in Aspie.
I'm ashamed by myself.
Oh, and according to this test, I'm not an Aspergus, just neurotypical (if it means something) with a bit of talent.

I guarantee I have the highest score:
Your Aspie score: 147 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 64 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie
but it's ok because I'm 100% certain Thomas Jefferson had a major case of aspergers too

I've removed my scores because I'm uncomfortable sharing personal info, and if perchance it seemed like sport, double-reason to excise them.

Perhaps you do have something!  Not to be mean but that seems a little...much. It's just an internet quiz after all, and not a very good one. That was extremely vague and seemed like it could apply to every human being.

I meant no offense Greg, and certainly wasn't referring to you, I was trying to justify my own reluctance to share my score here I guess. Sorry.

Perhaps I do have something what? I do have Asbergers, and I have barely slept in weeks. To you it may seem like nothing, but after reading Dean's post particularly, I felt uncomfortable about sharing something that can profoundly affect me. To make sport of my condition was not my intent, but I saw it may seem that way, and it's personal...
EDIT: hadn't read your post Dean as I was composing mine in response to two up.

I'm 95, which is a relief and a surprise. I expected to be much higher.

Well that's different, if you know for real. I just thought you were getting worked up over a quiz, I was gunna say it's not worth it man  If you have been diagnosed though that's different.

In real life its been said since I was a small child by several professionals that I was quote "aspish" I have been reading about it this year and come to the unofficial conclusion that I definitely have it.
The twisting things thing, I've been doing it since I could walk. I have a corkscrew right in front of me that is the perfect twisting weight. Of all objects God didn't make, the corkscrew is the perfect fiddling tool. I've worn out three in the past two years.
I am not immediately a disaster in public, but I am very lonely. I don't mind being "aspish" but I really wish I could just get a girlfriend. I know that the disease is you prevent yourself from doing things. I don't really do anything to get myself a girlfriend, so I don't have one. I get along well with everyone, but deeper socializaton just seems impossible, like I'm missing the tools to intermediate between myself and others on anything more than a superficial level.
The worst thing about Asbergers though, is the accompanying "optional" disorders, theres a word for it but I can't remember. I have bad anxiety and bi-polar disorder, which makes everyday a struggle, the Asbergers itself or "Aspishness" isn't so bad, and I appreciate my high intelligence and devotion to learning, and rejection of fashion and conformity.

Like I said, I really don't think this was very "good" but I also don't know much about aspergers so maybe it was set up well?
Regardless:
Your Aspie score: 46 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 152 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical
I guess this is good.
What makes it tough is a lot deal with social cues and knowing "what to do"
I am quite fine with both of those, I get the cues and know what to do...but I still tend to be "different" from the norm. So who knows!

Ahhh but I feel you there. I also don't have a gf because I just really don't try...I have a general disconnect with people if it gets too deep. So yeah, my test score is low but I have the same type social issues Not aspies perhaps, but I must have some other ailment

The only fer sure Aspie I know is a kid who was too nervous to be on the chess team back in elementary school where I was coach but now in high school has went from about 1000 to knocking on the door to a 2000 rating in a year in a half. The local grandmaster(s) are already taking notice.
He could have been mine! He should have been mine!
Is there and antisocial personality disorder version of this thingie?

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

no, people with asergers are known as too good. Gullible, naive in appearance. They are too honest. They are not anti-social, they desire social interaction deeply and constantly but come up against themselves, so they usually develop / or come with terrible anxiety and depression disorders, like I did. I think what aspies problems are is that they are too sensitive about what they do, not callous enough around others, too involved with consequences and the desire to do the right thing. They get upset when it all goes wrong. Typing quickly need to sleep. Good night.

Boy is that a description of me. Yet I only got 95 on the thing.
I don't try to be acerbic, it's just the first sentence, "they are too honest." I'm just saying whatever I'm thinking, not sugar coating it. Even though I was extremely solitary through parts of my life, I was no deliberate lone wolf. I used to fantasise about a group of friends or girls or whatever that would stumble across me and go "WOW THIS GUY IS AWESOME" and I'd become the life of the party, but I was absolutely unable to do anything pro-active about initiating social situations myself and as a result became very tortured and depressed about my lack of strong relationships.
