Kōsuke Ueki Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 [quote name='Alice' timestamp='1342299277' post='5978162'] I would be fully willing to have my level of Autism identified, surely. I am not very certain I've any significant amount of a unit measuring Autism, but I'd rather remain open-minded in terms of possibilities. Would you have any symptoms or idiosyncrasies of somebody Autistic to compare myself to? I'm just harsh on myself in terms of intelligence. Being eloquent is not tantamount to being intelligent, as having high grades is even less so. You couldn't call me a genius for remembering every word in a book like you couldn't for remembering all the lessons in class, as it's merely encyclopedic knowledge. Do you understand? [/quote] Knowing the word idiosyncrasies? No. But for encyclopedic knowledge? I guess. Are you in college though, cause I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean.

Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks, kind sir. And C4, if it makes you feel better, I can't understand most of what Alice says. All of her points just kind of go over my head, so I'm generally left with no response other than "Wait, what?" or "Okay." But now for a more on-topic point...I often have many people state that I'm intelligent, but I honestly don't see it. And it's not even for the reasons Alice gave...I have difficulty remembering most things, and I am far from eloquent...I see no reason for me to be referred to as such. It's honestly very confusing, and, ironically, I feel stupid for not knowing why people call me intelligent. I have considered the possibility of being autistic/having Asperger's syndrome...I've never gotten it diagnosed, but I think there's some level of autism within my mind. Also, I suck at tying thoughts together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ｄｈａｒｃ Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I took the quiz here: [url="http://www.piepalace.ca/blog/asperger-test-aq-test/"]http://www.piepalace.ca/blog/asperger-test-aq-test/[/url] I scored a 33/50 on it. So yeah, I've got a Asperger's or some other form of high-functioning autism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōsuke Ueki Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well, for signs, I do have some antisocial problems, but it doesn't really effect me as much as it did when I was in 6th Grade, where I tried to get attention through stupidity. And I have Borderline Autism, so the only signs for that I can give you is the antisocial thing, and this weird act of flailing your arms around like a little kid when you get over-excited about certain things (Depends on your interests). Hope that helps. Oh, and the possible habit of biting your nails for no real reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 "The test assesses five different areas. Autistic-like responses will show poor social skill, attention switching, communication and imagination, and an exaggerated attention to detail. In other words, geekiness. You scored 19. The ranking below provides some idea of where that AQ fits in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
