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

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)? Well -- regarding death in particular, I've never been upset at a death. Are you sometimes very calm in situations that others find stressful? Are you usually unaware of social rules & boundaries unless they are specifically spelled out? Not anymore so much, but when I was growing up I had to learn them by rote. Is it hard for you to break up from a relationship? Yup. Can you often appreciate people without putting demands on them? Yes, I'm easily capable of liking someone even knowing they don't like me back. I did a lot of that in high school. :b Do you have an alternative view of what is attractive in the opposite sex compared to most others? YES, judging by my reactions to most movie stars... and a lot of engineers. It's not just intelligence though. Anyway, oh my, yes. Do you have an interest in or have practised BD/SM? Does it cause chaos in your body or mind if your plans, environment or daily routines suddenly get changed, or if an activity that is important to you gets interrupted? Yep, hate it. Did you prefer to sleep in your parents bed rather than in your own room as a child? Yes, we used to call this 'heffalumping' for some reason.... Have you had the feeling of playing a game to pretend to be like people around you? All the time. Do you have freckles? Do you have fair skin that burn easy? Yes, and it also drives me effing crazy to see grammatical errors in an Aspie quiz. :) Do you feel an urge to peel flakes off yourself and / or others? How bizarre, but yeah.
My score: 73, with most of that apparently in the emotional / relationship areas. I was almost totally aspie on the emotions. The overall score seems low to me but maybe I lied somewhere. *shrug*
The peeling thing is sooooooooooooooo funny. Like what a randomly odd question. We're not the only ones though! There's a funny picture from a camping trip in July where myself and another person are giddily peeling someone's sunburn. Ah, the simple pleasures.
