AQ test

Just did the AQ test, http://www.channel4embarrassingillnesses.com/features/take-the-autism-test/

scored 36 btw.

A couple of the questions were hard to answer,

I find it difficult to imagine what it would be like to be someone else.

I find it difficult to work out people's intentions.

Both of these things I find easy, basically I think they are pointless and most people usually get them wrong so they are not worth doing. No problem.

When I'm reading a story, I find it difficult to work out the characters' intentions.

Same here, just read the story, no problem. Why work out the characters intentions, they are not real anyway.

I tend to have very strong interests, which I get upset about if I can't pursue.

I have strong interests, but why get upset ? getting upset is pointless and illogical.

I find it hard to make new friends.

No, I dont try. I dont find it hard at all, I dont want new friends.

I find it easy to do more than one thing at once.

depends what it is. Multitabling poker or playing a chess simul is very easy. Talking is distracting, obviously.

People often tell me that I keep going on and on about the same thing.

Odd question, if you were autistic would you be talking to people often ?

Other people frequently tell me that what I've said is impolite, even though I think it is polite

Well I guess they would if I tried to live in polite society and had lots of conversations, but I dont.

    This was the one I found odd. I have read many books and studied English Literature, but never thought I had to work out the characters' intentions.
