While some people clearly suffer from extreme cases, millions suffer only from minor cases of autism. The history of mathematics and physics is populated by borderline autistics. Answer 50 questions about yourself on a web page, and a simple program spits out a number between 1 and 50. The higher the number, the closer you are to autism.

Charlie: How many?

Damn Marty, I figured you'd score in the high 20's?

[koppenschevelle]

Wow, so I scored a 32.

I retook the test just to make sure, taking my time and being as honest as I could with each question. There was only one question I was kind of on the fense of was the one about which you enjoy more, a theatre or a museum. Personally, I enjoy theatres and museums pretty evenly, but I go to a theatre more, so I put slightly agree, although I do work at a theatre.

Anyways, both times I took it, I got a 32. So what does this mean exactly? I read the little scale, but I don't get it completely. Does it mean that I am autistic? Or bordeline autistic?

It means that you are anal retentive. Hahaha.

I wouldn't worry about it man. It just means that you pay more attention to detail than most. Being a little obsessive over small details makes for a kick arse customs painter!!!!!

[Personality #9]

I got a 16.

[roland13]

I got a 16 too, At least it claims I'm average.

[Sacola Man]

I got 29

[Czarcher]

I got 24.

[CCVegita]

I got a 17.....I am dead on average. On some of those questions I was answering them thinking "I just got the max point to make the test think I have autism".

[Kevin Mayle]

I got a 25.

[jkaris]

Damn, who resurrected this? Hahahaha.

Not much difference, 22 this time.

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

I got a 20, I think I took this back when it was originally posted though.

I even took it again to try and get an autistic score. I got a 39 by giving answers that might have been autistic.

[asator]

[WhiteLeo]

Still an average Joe! 16 the second time!

I heard recently that there were ZERO cases of autisum amongst the Amish. Interesting if true...

[Tortle]

31 for me! Only 4 more and I have Asperger's Syndrome! I knew my Alan Mask idolatry would pay off eventually!

[KnuxieChan]

I got a 24. Woot?

[Soupie]

25. However, I chalk it up to the fact that I have an introverted personality type -- I get my "energy" from being alone, as opposed to extroverted people who "get their energy" by socializing with others.

In other words, I'm perfectly capable of interacting socially with others, but it is hard, takes a lot of effort, and gets boring real fast.

(Ah, who am I kidding, you've all read my incessant theorizing about the Super Rares and witnessed my pedantic and tedious documenting of toy pictures, haha.)
