I was going to send Flexy an email with a link to the Asperger's quiz we were discussing at dinner last night, until I remembered that that's what LJ is for

It felt like so many of the questions were written specifically about me.
Do you more easily get very upset over 'minor' things (e.g. losing your favourite pen) than over which others get upset about (e.g. a relative passing away)
This is one of the things that I've been recognizing lately; how I don't really care when a close family member is sick or dying, unless I'm asked/expected to do something about it. But, lemme tell you, if a someone is blocking the flow of traffic, specifically, if that causes me to miss something (a bus, a train, a traffic light), I feel as if there is some intelligence at work, and the whole world was designed to fuck w/ me.... and I'm an atheist.
It was a diagnostic scan to determine the issue with my knee, if there was any. Everything except my neck and head were in the tube.
What I felt? Something like a mild beginnings to menstrual cramps. I thought it was in my head at first, but they did four passes and each time the field would stop, so would the cramps.
That position is not one that I'm used to in magnets (**snicker**), we are usually doing head scans. I will say that there are certain kinds of scans we do (Echo Planar Imaging) that will induce a current in a long nerve which runs down one's back, exciting a muscle, causing it to twitch in time w/ the scan. Happens to me every time I do the scan. I've never heard of diagnostic scans inducing girly parts, but it's not out of the question. It would all have to do with the direction & strenght of changing fields relative to the direction and length of the nerve

That's really interesting. I got the degree in Cog Sci, but I only did one year of experimental Psych grad school. It's cool to hear about this kind of side effect.
The lady told me that about 1/3 of her patients ever felt anything at all.
Surprising to hear that as many as 1/3 of patients would feel something. Diagnostic scans aren't usually pushing boundaries as far as power/time, like time-critical research scans might do (ie. you need 1 3D snapshot of the head every 3 seconds).
I didn't get the impression that, for all the questions, saying yes meant that that was an Aspie trait. There were quite a few, where saying no seemed to be more autistic in nature.
Yeah, sorry, I misstated that - I didn't mean which ones did you say "yes" to, just which ones did you give the aspie answer for (if you know the difference).
I'm very dubious that you are truly a 130. You are very caring and connected with your friends, you take good care of yourself hygenically, but you're definitely no metrosexual, fairly middling there, and you don't really have sensory issues (other than your freakishly sensitive nose tip. ;-))

I found most of the questions in the following sections to be fairly fitting.
