How much of an Aspie am I?
15 years ago
Since I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, I did some research and found a book by Janet Tubbs on it. This list of symptoms really caught my eye:
is artistic? Yes, very much so.
blames him/herself for being 'stupid'? Not really
cannot or will not engage in small talk? I'm very quiet, especially when I'm in "the zone" when I'm watching my favorite shows.
is clumsy? Yeah.
is compulsive? Yes.
is creative? Pretty much the same thing as artistic so yeah.
has difficulty maintaining friendships? I don't have too many close friends
is distractible? Yeah, I've got ADD on the side.
does not know how to lie--tells it like s/he sees it? Yeah, I have a very bad reputation of accidentally offending others.
is easily angered? Heck yeah.
has explosive temper? YES!!!
frequently appears very unhappy? I'm pretty moody at times, yeah. I'm more apathetic than unhappy.
frequently announces that nobody likes him/her? Sometimes.
has good vocabulary? Yeah.
hates to lose? Sometimes. depending on my mood.
is highly intelligent but scores below average in performance abilities? Yeah, I'm very smart but I have poor motor skills and sometimes I lack common sense.
is unable to focus on a task? Again, I've got ADD coming into play.
likes to read? Yes, if I find the subject interesting
likes TV and computer games? HECK YEAH!!!!
has limited range of facial expressions? I'm not really sure.
has good math skills? Not really.
has hyperlexia (this means that they have excellent word recognition, but may have difficulty comprehending more abstract meanings behind the words)? I think so.
needs praise? Yeah, and plenty of it so I don't become a mess.
has obsessions? HELL YEAH!!! Furry fandom, cartoons, 80's rock music. It's all I ever think about!
has poor social skills? Yep.
is resistant to change? Yes, especially if the change isn't going in my favor.
is self-centered? Mainly due to my obsessions, yes.
is tactiley defensive (does not like to touch or be touched)? I actually don't mind being hugged by fursuiters but most people on the other paw...
is teased or bullied by others? Seldom in real life, but quite often online.
threatens to kill himself or other people? Yes, unfortunately. A few times I've tried strangling myself because I was angry at myself.
is very literal? I'm getting better with abstract meanings. I really seem to enjoy puns.
has voice lacking intonation? Well, my voice is kinda flat. It might be my weak point if I plan on being a voice actor.
is artistic? Yes, very much so.
blames him/herself for being 'stupid'? Not really
