Took the AQ test at Wired.com. Scored a 37.
I do believe if I had done the test when I was much younger it would have been much higher. Many of the traits I have "broke" or continue to fight against in order to "fix" myself. This was before I knew anything about Asperger's.
In comment on "collecting/categorizing information", here is a small list of examples (basically I saw my life flash before my eyes):
Ants
Precious stones (not metals, just stones)
Star Wars facts and fiction
Comic book heroes
Creating my own secret codes
Drawing complete new levels and chars to the Super Mario games (I stand by the fact that my Mario games would have been far better than the ones that proceeded Mario 3)
Drawing out many new original games, console based.
Created a pictograph/hieroglyphic style of short hand for when taking notes in physics/chemistry/biology classes
Other than what is still in my head, all the above information was trashed as my interests changed.
Hi Gabe. Thanks for the link. I scored 44. Would've been higher but I have no memory for things and I've never had the ability to visualize. The questions about pretending games as children or with children are interesting. I'm so bad at those. Trying to play a role and not knowing how meant that my playmate was always telling me what to do and say next. I just followed orders. ----Tracy
