Aspie-Quiz

[glassmoon]

I found this detailed AS traits questionnaire :
http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php
Note how some of the traits are definitly common to the rare xNTP's types. Some traits are contrary.

Edit: general description of AS (http://publish.uwo.ca/~mheinmil/asperger2/about/map.htm )

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.
Your score

You seem to have quite a few Aspie-traits

Most Aspies that have answered have scored above 100 (mean 134 for men and 147 for women). Many people with ADD/ADHD also have scored high (mean 115), but not as high.

Yikes! thats quite high, I think my typical ADD innetentive and HSP like traits may have skewed the results somewhat... as I do not feel the Aspegers descriptions fit me very well.

The coolest question was: "Are you sometimes afraid in safe situations, yet fearless in situations which may actually be dangerous?"

I had never realized this about myself, but I've definitely done this before. Weird...

Indeed. That sounds like an all inclusive definition for me. Giggling as i'm almost hit by a train, but paranoid that someone might be knocking on the door.

Well, AS, ADHD and xNTP's have many similar traits (although all are separate conditions), so I think you can subtract at least 17 points, since so many of the questions can be true to NTP's:


-Are you very logical and get surprised or impatient when others aren't?
-Do you find visualizing easy?
-Do you tend to get so stuck on details that you miss the overall picture? [INTP under stess may show this]
-Are you punctual, conscientious and perfectionist?
-Do you have excellent long-term memory in subjects that interest you?
-Do you have excellent vocabulary and/or a fascination with words?
-Do you have unconventional, often unique ways of solving problems?
-Do you have an ability to stick to something that interests you and not give up? [ENTP trait]
-Does it feel vitally important to be left undisturbed to persue your special interests?
-Do you tend to get so absorbed in your projects that you forget everything else (e.g. eating, sleeping, taking a shower, other people)?
-Do you have unusual sleeping patterns? [INTP trait if I recall right]
-Do recently heard phrases, tunes or rhythms tend to stick and repeat themselves in your head? [some ENTP's reported this...]
-Do you get exceedingly tired after socializing, and need to regenerate alone?
[I...]
-Are you more of an observer than one who participates in life - being a detached observer ?
-Do you mostly prefer to play/work/do things on your own - in your own way and at your own pace? [INTP's obviously]
-Do you sometimes not feel anything at all, even though other people expect you to? [T...]
-Do you tend to feel get nervous, shy, confused and/or like you don't fit in, in various social situations?
-Do you have more difficulties than others of the same age when it comes to making friendships and getting into relationships?


Many of the questions depict contradicting traits to the NTP's types:

-Do you find concrete things easier to grasp than abstract concepts?
-Do you find it hard to multi-task or shift your attention rapidly from one thing to another and therefore need to finish one task before turning to the next? [anti-P]
-Do you have certain simple & logical routines which you need to follow? [strong "J" trait]
-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?
-Do you have a need for order and neatness?
-Are you sometimes so empathic that you feel other peoples' or animals' feelings as your own?

This is no surprise to me; I was diagnosed autistic when I was a child, and I believe the diagnosis was correct. It has been quite a struggle for me to learn to function in society, and I have done fairly well in many areas, but it just doesn't seem natural. I am better off when I am alone, in my own little world.

I should ask my psychiatrist what he thinks (conveniently, I have an appointment tomorrow) - it would be interesting to be properly evaluated for this now to see if the official diagnosis still holds true.

I score high on all such tests.

[Biff_Loman]

I was pretty sloppy with the "earlier" part, though; I usually just put the same answer for both categories without much critical thought. When I was a kid I definitely displayed a lot more of these traits. I could really relate to the clothing questions, but I grew out of that before adolescence.

I have no clue how I developed socially, though. I always hated sports and, for that matter, most of my peers, so I had a lonely childhood. Things picked up in high school. I still don't understand why.

[glassmoon]

I am very likely an Aspie
How can you be sure? How much did you score?

[glassmoon]

For a general description of AS: http://publish.uwo.ca/~mheinmil/asperger2/about/map.htm
Interesting fact:

Asperger's Syndrome affects four times as many males as females. In recent years, the number of cases has exploded. But no one can agree on what is causing this increase or what can be done about it.

[kruT]

Well. I guess I'll become a college professor. Heh.

[glassmoon]

I see many scored high, perhaps even for INTP's... So, all Aspies, please report! (counted 3 possible AS's so far)

Its nothing I haven't suspected. I just refuse to go in because people think things like ADD/ADHD and AS are disabilities. I like to consider them odd personality quirks. Just because others don't understand me doesn't make me 'broken'

Haven't been diagnosed with anything. Several of these questions seem to have a lot to do with introversion, which some think of as a malady. (smirk) Dyslexia figured in there for a couple of questions, too. I don't know. Modern day psychology tends to have labels for everything and everyone. That's a good thing, if it helps to build more societal tolerance for the "quirky" kids. It's a bad thing if the kid gets a complex from it and thinks s/he's an oddball who will never quite fit in for the rest of their lifetime. I think all these diagnostics can be overdone.

Do you have a habit of repeating your own or others' last words, internally or out loud (echolalia)?
Do recently heard phrases, tunes or rhythms tend to stick and repeat themselves in your head?
This one kinda surprised me, I didn't know that there was an actual word for this, or that it would be unusual enough for it to be titled. Doesn't everyone have this?

I have it to a certain degree. Usually only when I'm concentrated on some thinking or other, while people are speaking to me. Then I sort of "save" what they've said, and keep repeating it (as it gets longer) in another part of my head. Then, when they expect me to say something, I focus on what's been "saved" and answer accordingly. But I'm not sure if this mechanism really goes under that category.

I do have the thing about tunes and rythms though. So I answered "a little".

Do you confuse left and right?
I found this one interesting. I have a very hard time with right and left and have to think about it every time someone mentions one or the other. Do most people develop a natural reaction where they don't even have to think about it anymore?

The part Hex posted about having difficulty reading written material unless it is very interesting or very easy was also very true for me, and, like he said, is why I don't take part in a lot of threads here.

Not as bad as I thought it would be... There were some questions that I would have answered differently if I would have taken something like this when I was in grade school. *shrug*

I was talking with a friend from work who has twin nieces that both have autism. I was talking to her about AS and my childhood and she thought that I might have more had something like PDD instead of AS. Who knows for sure.

Maybe I should come up with a new disorder how about RDD (Relationship Deficiency Disorder) Ha Ha. Ha...

My brother has it and he always wondered if it meant something. I never knew what to tell him. Still don't. As this all needs more explanation for me to grasp the implications.

[Neppy]

Occipital bun... sounds funny. :lol: I don't have one of those. Or any of the physical traits, nor have I ever felt the urge to peel flakes off of people. That sounds disgusting. I don't like touching other people at all, and if I'm uncomfortable with an aspect of their appearance (which I can become), I'll go away. There was this woman once who had these brown moles on her neck, but they looked like little spikes. It made my hair stand on end (y'know, when your scalp tingles) and I just had to get out. :sick: I wonder if that's my AS playing up or if I was genuinely just grossed out by it. Maybe both.

Only two or three people have scored higher than me so far, but I'm surprised there's so many potential Aspies here! Actually... no, I'm not surprised. Hah! ;D

Recent events had me wondering in the shower if I might have asperger's or even mild autism. As spontaneously P as I can be, I also have problems when my perfected super-efficient (at least in my mind) ways of doing things are encroached upon by others. I also tend to do some things REALLY thoroughly, to the point of being a little obsessive. Opening a wrapper carefully to preserve it, rinsing dishes... rinsing anything. Gotta make sure every last little molecule of dirt or soap is gone. Many other things. I don't know what my deal is -- but I'm not sure being diagnosed as an aspie would really help me anyway. I should do some more reading on it.

I don't think that I understand what the back of the head is 'supposed' to look like. How large is this occipital bun? My head projects quite a bit beyond the vertical plane of the back of my neck, but I always thought that this was due to my general thinness.

[aether]

I dunno. I thought the bun was just a bump, I guess it is a projection of the head that is not round.

I did/do depending on how you look at it. I work in special ed currently, have since march when I moved away from Sac. I originally was put in with developmentally delayed students with aggressive tendancies, then with a week and half left in summer school I was moved to a purely autistic young kids. After a month there, I got moved back to the center but have been bounced around a few classes (not because I'm unwanted or anything like that) because of need. It's tough being one of two guys on staff, and even harder when you are younger and in better shape than the other guy. Anyhow, today I just had my 2nd workshop that deals exclusively with understanding and supporting autistic children (I really wish I had done those workshops before I got moved to that autistic class). It's a common opinion amoung the workplace that they are grooming me for the older autistic classroom which I have worked before, because one of my students got moved there.

OH MY GOD WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

It means you should take fewer internet tests.

Good point. I'm sortof an alarmist type of person.

98/94

I'm pretty surprised it's that low. going through and answering the questions I thought, "this is silly, I'm going to get a high score even though I'm a boring old neurotypical." then, a few question sections actually made me start to wonder if I was "aspie." but, there's no way I'm that normal, I must have several overlapping disorders of some other type that share some traits with asperger's but not all... yes.

This is not a medical evaluation, but intended to give you information to think about and discuss with your medical and mental health professionals.

Interesting. I did a bit of self-diagnosis a while back and my conclusion was that I don't have enough symptoms to be diagnosed with ADD. The above results suggest I shouldn't let that possibility go, just yet.

God why do they have to slap syndrome at the end. It makes me feel retarded. I did some reading on wikipedia about this. Pretty interesting stuff. It hit home on a lot of things. I can't help but find some of the questions on the test ridiculous. That and the fact I have no idea what correlates to having or not having it made it hard for me to dissect it.

hmm interesting (did someone from here put that on wikipedia)
There seems to be a strong correlation between those with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism (HFA) and the INTP type of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): description 1, description 2. Another theory states that Asperger's correlates to the INTJ personality type, whereas high functioning autism correlates to the INFJ personality type.

Also, it sounds pretty damn cool to have it. Having mental illness for the win! Sign me up!

Here's are some points as to why this disorder is so damn cool!
-People with Asperger syndrome often have little patience for things outside these areas of interest. During the school years, many are perceived as highly intelligent underachievers or overachievers, clearly capable of outperforming their peers in their field of interest yet persistently unmotivated to do regular homework assignments (sometimes even in their areas of interest).
-Many people with Asperger syndrome also make idiosyncratic use of words, including new coinages and unusual juxtapositions. This can develop into a rare gift for humor (especially puns, wordplay, doggerel, satire) or writing. Another potential source of humor is the eventual realization that their literal interpretations can be used to amuse others. Some are so proficient with written language as to qualify as hyperlexic.
-Asperger syndrome can involve an intense and obsessive level of focus on things of interest. For example, one person might be obsessed with 1950s professional wrestling, another with national anthems of African dictatorships, and another with building models out of matchsticks. Particularly common interests are means of transport (such as trains), computers, and dinosaurs. Sometimes these interests are lifelong; in other cases, they change at unpredictable intervals. In either case, there are normally one or two at any given time. In pursuit of these interests, the person with Asperger's often manifests extremely sophisticated reason, an almost obsessive focus, and eidetic memory. Hans Asperger called his young patients "little professors" because he thought his thirteen-year-old patients had as comprehensive and nuanced an understanding of their field of interest as university professors.

Asperger's Syndrome isn't a mental illness. ;) I definitely don't consider it an illness at all. I think it's actually, in some ways, a gift. Our brains are just neurologically wired differently from those without the syndrome. We're born with it and we die with it, end of story.

I was innocently reading the Wikipedia when I stumbled across that line about it correlating with the INTP type. Weird. Definitely. When I first discovered I was an INTP I didn't even contemplate that it related to my AS.

And lol! I'm glad you think it's cool. 8O Sometimes I wonder if my mother has hints of AS in her. It wouldn't shock me, anyway.

[CosmicDust]

Normal as the stereotypical popular kid in high school...just with a different personality.

[Nadiar]

IMO All mental disorders are just an extreme in personality. That they don't always match up is because a) theres probably not an easy 16 boxes you can draw for 'true' personalities, and b) even if we did have 16 personality types, the likelyhood of those 16 types perfectly fitting whatever the real 16 types is incredibly slim. I suspect we won't start to get an accurate guess until the Genom Project and Psychology start interacting a lot more (and I wouldn't be surprised to see an odd or prime number of personality traits).

Speaking of which, I hate the "boxes" terminology. In my opinion, its an infinite line, and you're just ranking yourself on it based on your distance from "neither"

If you can rank yourself on an introverted-extroverted line, you've already "boxed yourself in"

Its important to recognize the importance of MBTI isn't to 'stereo-type others' Its so you can learn a little about yourself, and how you compare to other people. As such, its more of a statistical comparison. How are *you* different from other people? This is a useful tool in understanding other people.


Anyway, back on topic:
After reading about some of the common health problems of people with AS, I figure I need a diagnosis (unexplained seizures... check, unexplained gastrointestinal problems... check, horrible migraines... check). I just have no idea where I have to go for this. I looked up some local contacts that say they're experienced at diagnosing autism, but I don't know if that means Autism Spectrum Disorders, or what. I know that some psychologists don't think AS actually exists, and its just eccentric members of society.

And yes, this is pretty much caused by my dislike of clinical psychologists. I've seen too many friends ruined because some psychologist thought they were too hyperactive, or too depressed, and decided to medicate the hell out of them.

[Neppy]

Nadiar's post made me have to voice my agreement.

And this is totally off topic, but I don't like the idea of simply medicating people who happen to be qualitatively different from the "norm". Especially when it comes to ADHD. I can't stand the fact that people consider these things a problem that must be rectified and subdued immediately. Luckily medication doesn't (or if it does, shouldn't) exist for AS, and if it did, I'd take it over my dead body. I was once screened for ADD, because I display a fair few characteristics for the condition, but it turned out I didn't have it, and that my concentration levels were actually way above average. Saying that though, if I did have ADD, I wouldn't take medication. I'd just use the information to better understand myself and to harness my strengths and work on my weaknesses.

Things like this can't really be assessed using numbers and scales. They're a rough guideline that should never be taken seriously or used for a diagnosis. The test here exists for the purpose of giving people a general idea of how they fair against the criteria for Asperger's Syndrome.

Carry on. :)

I wasn't aware that the predicament of internally repeating words verbatim from conversations, Echolalia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echolalia), was representative of autism.

Thank you, Neptron, for posting this test and thank you to all you posted their results. I had taken it before -- both the earlier 2004 version and now the December 2nd 2055 revision or Version III. My scores I did not know how to interpret but the posts here helped by seeing others that did indicate possible Aspie. This last revision I took twice. It's a tough test! My scores were:
Your Aspie score: 70
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 121
Then second time:
Your Aspie score: 49
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 136

I still don't understand the numbers but at least I'm not apparently close.

Another test, one for autism, is at:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html
on which I score 23 to 26 which is below the 32 threshold as described on the site as:
Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

Thus the general intent of having a general idea has been met. I'm likely not either Aspie or Autistic. I do share some traits, mostly those that likely most deep introverts have -- but not the rest of the traits or the degree that is indicative of Aspie or Autistic (or even High Functioning Autism or HFA).

I agree with the general advice that if one does score high enough to be in the neighborhood, then one should see a psychologist or psychiatrist. Otherwise we're just "normal" INTP's -- whatever that implies (though I don't rule out Schizoid for myself -- maybe I should see a psychiatrist -- again).

You are very likely an Aspie

I am pretty sure I have AS, I think. At least it explains a whole lot about me. I seem to have social problems that go way beyond just being introverted.

But there are somethings about AS that I don't even have close to something similar. The need to have proceses, and putting things in order... memorizing large tables of information.

Where some AS traits seem very strongly J, I am very much P.

I do like to have some small routines, very small. But it isn't a compulsive thing... Its more like I have found the best way to do something for me, and I prefer to do it this way since it works.

I do not know it there are any other aspies here except perhaps you. I read two of your posts. There is one who thinks she has AS but IMO she is a Kramer autist. Many others score high on an online test, but once you read their posts you know they do not have AS.
I have not heard of AS traits that seem J. But what do I know.

Well I wouldn't say all of AS is J, just the need to have things organized in a certian way. And having set procedures to do things, or they get upset.

Though I am no expert, on AS or MBTI... so it may be a faulty conclusion.

Thank you Pugly. That J thing puzzled me quite a bit..
Well it is not a J thing. It is intolerance of the object world as it is.
AS is closely correlated with NP.

Not all aspies experience that, either. (For that matter, I don't and I've a formal diagnosis.) From what I've read - mostly from the people who experience it, thanks to the internet - aspies & autists who need less flexible processes tend to have difficulty generalising from one set of circumstances to another. A routine may be the only way they know that actually works to, for instance, get themselves out of bed, showered, and in to work on time. Dealing with a phonecall in the middle of it might be impossibly disruptive.

I can't really shed much light on the part about memorising tables of information, though. Some aspies might collect bottlecaps or match-packages for their own sake, others might collect the aforementioned items and think about the way advertising logos have changed over time. Depends on the person, really.

[Dom]

Now your just being patronising. What happens if I've never seen red before. Descibe this colour to me.

I wasn't patronising, i was giving as much info as I have, I know one person who has Asperger's and he is in his 60's and finds it very very hard to live in the world, and so lives at a care home (but hasn't all his life)

He rememebers everything, is very focus'ed and generally fails to notice stuff that others would find obvious, he has trouble recognising personal space etc too.

Other than that I have no idea about aspergers,

Sorry chap, I don't really know what red is either.

Edit: If my limited unserstanding is right, Aspergers people don't like ambiguity, uncertainty, intuitive type things. They like stuff up front, honest, straight forward. They are often brilliant focusing on one or few things to near perfection.

If you score high on nonverbal IQ tests you most likely Do Not have aspergers syndrome

Wow - my AS score seems to be the highest I have seen, although a) This may be a different version to early posts, and b) I don't know to what degree I chose the AS answers because I know what they "wanted"? I don't think I did but inherently there is some bias.

Anyone else have a problem with the: "Do you speak to people to put them at ease even if you have nothing to say?" question?
I thought this could mean I speak to comfort people or that I just talk crap just cos people are there.
I don't think I comfort people but I do talk crap allllll the time if someone is there. Unless I'm at home when I tend to be quiet.



As far as I know I don't have AS or dyslexia. Numbers sometimes get transposed but I am very perfectionistic so always double check everything.

The IQ test was difficult to the end - I'm not going to claim that a couple of them didn't take me a few minutes, although in one of those I got the correct answer and then over-complicated it for the second analysis before reverting to the original choice.

On the other fronts I do have strongly suspected CAPD and maybe ADD. Also I have confirmed OCD. Although I know these all have some element of AS co-morbidity I think.


BTW - anyone with definite AS please comment: I don't have a problem with labels in clothes, but I do find chalk and blackboards and wool sometimes unpleasant to touch. Also I do get a lot of itches, unless I'm totally engrossed in something, and I find it hard to resist scratching (No rude jokes - I promise ;P )

EDIT: MERCURY - All the patterns can be determined with sufficient time. The first few set up the rule system for later questions. It shows that a dot if it shifts off the grid returns to a position on the grid again, (Just like in crsytal structure unit cells, or some variant of them! If I remember my degree properly.) i.e. if you have a 1*1 grid and the dot went left, it would re-appear on the grid again, from the right, and would not leave an empty space. Second most important rule is that the prescence of one dot is the same as more than one dot. i.e. if two dots overlap only the standard dot is seen. There are no dot-on-dot symbols and the dots do not cancel.

I found number 13 hardest and 17 (if I got it correct for the right reason) the cheekiest as it followed a more standard test ruleset than the one which the early questions established.

I found 17 quite annoying in that all but 2 of the problems on the test did NOT involve rotational symetry, so I expected another dot algorithm similar to most of the previous problems. It took me at about 5 or 6 minutes of "calculating" the movement patterns to realize that it was just a simple rotation.

Ugh, I thought it was a rotation but since it wasn't established in the other problems I excluded that as a possibility and couldn't figure out the movement patterns. So I guessed. Of course a rotation is just a way of summarizing a lot of movements in an easy to remember step. Hindsight..

13's the one I couldn't get!! I just imagined the dots were little balls rolling around at constant speed, and then sometimes the grid would flip around...
but I couldn't work out what was going on in 13.

[Sweet Paramania]

For 17 I found the actual answer reasonably quickly and then began to look for the more likely complex answer - it was the penultimate question after all.

Eventually I found a likely rule, but I think either there was no corresponding answer or the third example box messed it up - but was close to being correct.

13 was actually simpler than I first realised - took a while though. Best tactic is to try and see them all as clips in a short film. The top right quadrant of 13 was confusing at first though.

Got an Aspie: 67

I'm neurotypical.

There are some similarities between AS folks and INTPs, so it's interesting to watch the two relate.

What I found even more interesting was the pre-questions ("What is your favorite temperature?").

[Neppy]

Wow, I can't believe this thread is still going. @_@

And the "you are both Aspie and neurotypical" thing is bizarre. The test isn't a diagnostic tool, just sort of a rough guide, to maybe indicate the possible presence of Asperger's Syndrome, and if you score that highly and you think there's something to it, then you'll either go see somebody about it or not care. Not caring is a fine option, if you have no significant problems that might be related to AS.

There's no way you can be both. But you could be a high-functioning Aspie who never got diagnosed (it's possible), or an NT (neurotypical) who may possess one or two mild characteristics that are autistic in nature. Some Aspies are good at controlling themselves and learning to interact and function with the outside world - and it takes years of learning for them, which means they could behave like NTs.

I never liked the term neurotypical, it makes them sound like they're inferior or something. Plus it's confusing when it's said like NT, lol. But hey. I'll say "non-Aspies" instead.

Not really issues but plenty to discuss with my doctor. I may have been misdiagnosed. With this information I willl be able to take a different aproach to getting back to work. This time, if the test is right, I will be able to find something I can do for a living.

Aspie - 39
Non Autistic - 181

I think this is predictable for me as my daughter has Aspergers and until I understood what that meant and how to communicate better with her I could not relate at all. Fortunately she was diagnosed early and I learnt how to adapt my mothering style to suit her. I LOVE her AS so having a high aspie score does not mean you have issues - it means assholes will never understand you so what a loss, NOT!!!

[floating anchor]

This thread surprises me, because all over the 'net, descriptions of Asperger's make it sound like an extreme version of the Sensing Judging personality type, or perhaps a major iNtuition deficiency compensated for by extraordinary Sensing abilities. If these characteristics are definitive aspects of the disorder, as I've seen official websites claim, NPs surely could not have it, by definition. :think:

I'm not able to include URLs yet, but this is the sort of thing I'm talking about:

Persons with AS show marked deficiencies in social skills, have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest.[...] Often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights, the person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see.

Metaphor s (non-literal expressions - 'food for thought') and similes (figures of speech - 'as fit as a fiddle') have to be explained as children with Asperger Syndrome tend to make literal and concrete interpretations. Language acquisition - learning to speak - in some cases can be delayed. They make much use of phrases they have memorized, although they may not be used in the right context. A certain amount of translation may be needed in order to understand what they are trying to say.
[...]Children often impose rigid routine on themselves and those around them, from how they want things done, to what they will eat etc. It can be very frustrating for all concerned. Routines will change from time to time, as they mature they are perhaps a little easier to reason with. This inflexibility shows itself in other ways too, giving rise to difficulties with imaginative and creative thinking. The child tends to like the same old thing done in the same old way over and over again!. They often can't see the point of a story or the connection between starting a task and what will be the result. They usually excel at rote memory - learning information without understanding, but it can still be an asset. Attempts should always be made to explain everything in a way they can understand. Don't assume because they parrot information back that they know what they are talking about.

You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

I think the most obviously Aspie traits that I have are hypersensitivity to loud noises and general sensory overload. Loud music generally makes me want to run away screaming (which I don't actually do, but its an effort not to), specially if there's a lot of bass or saxophone or heavy drumbeat. I'm quite restricted in what clothes and materials I can wear because so many clothes are extremely itchy or scratchy or uncomfortable and I'm ready to climb walls or scream if I have to wear said clothes.

The need for routine, lack of coordination - this isn't me, I don't have this.

I am fairly clueless about social interactions, but I'm concious of it and have been able to learn some things adequately well to fool others I know what I'm doing. ;)

Yeah one of my friends was hurt very very very badly when he rode his pocket rocket into the side of a semi at about 80 mph. It's a wonder he can still walk.

On the other hand, I know several other bikers who are very good, and can ride fast without crashing. So not all the people you see on those pocket rockets are noobs.
