Your Aspie Score

In all honesty, I don't like it when people walk behind me. I have an extreme lack of patience for frustrating situations, I am obsessed with my interests, I have a hard time 'syncing' and empathizing with others. I dislike social situations. I tap my fingers, pace, chew my tongue and cheeks, hate the loud stamping of feet, and shut down (or blow up unexpectedly) when severely overwhelmed. I hate having my hobbies interrupted. I daydream constantly. I am sometimes so lost in my own thoughts that I lose focus of those around me. I'll literally lie in bed for hours thinking about one story idea I want to write about. Sometimes I feel that I think only in words.

I am, however, quite apt in social situations when caught unaware. I'm good at reading others' facial expressions, and other such things. I'm sure, like with most people, it balances out. I'm really good at pretending to care about others. I'm really good at staying on track and I can handle any sort of number set thrown at me with ease. This test and conversation opened me up to better realize the strange tendencies I do have. Sometimes I'll catch myself walking 'in step' with others at random intervals as if I'm still in marching band. I don't need schedules or lists, but I enjoy making certain lists. I love categorizing things, especially albums. I have memorized the name, track listing, and release dates of over 1,000 albums. I have rated and categorized most all of these in specific order (i.e., Blood on the Tracks 1975 is a half-step lower than John Wesley Harding 1967 which is a half step lower than Revolver 1966 which is a half-step lower than Abbey Road 1969 which is a half-step lower than Songs in the Key of Life 1976 which is a half-step lower than Jesus Christ Superstar 1970 which is four whole steps above The Blue Mask 1982, which is two whole steps below The Final Cut 1983 which is a single step above Blood Money 2002 which is a half step lower than Alice 2002 which is one-and-a-half steps above Killers 1981 which is a whole step below Iron Maiden 1980 which is two steps above Powerslave 1984 which is three steps below Aqualung 1971 which is on equal ground with First Utterance 1971 which is interesting.)

Diana, Diana, kick your feet up.

 

I seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits, which doesn't surprise me, and  I doubt would surprise anyone else, but I'm certainly not reading anything into it. I'll not post my scores here because some are treating this as a highscore table and I'm not interested in playing.

Drat.
