My father has many of the trait associated with Aspersgers, as does my brother.
Him being an incredibly intelligent man, he might already know. |

| Yeah... if I was one for each extreme, I would be: Very low self-esteem Lacking in confidence socially, but with everything else I am reasonably confident in my abilities. I'm a very passive person. But if someone does anger me too much, I can hit pretty hard. Talking too much! My friend says I mumb... |

But I only know one other aspie and he is generally a happy person, though he does express very o... |

| Yes, my mum says I am really 'funny' about things like food. I don't have breakfast. I may complain that I'm starving, but I just got into a routine of not eating breakfast when I was about 10, and never got out of it. For lunch, it is always- A sausage roll or two, chocolate bar and a packet of cri... |

I never tell my parents any of my worries. I prefer to deal with them on my own... though I wish I could talk to them. They are way to preoccupied with their own insignificant lives to care about me at all...  |

| I don't often let myself get close emotionally to anyone, really. Some of the advantages I find are no arguments, no-one to have to look after, no-one to worry about, and no-one who pays attention to you all the time. |

I can hear every single one of those frequencies

My senses are weird. I don't think I have any super-kind of senses, though. |

Well, it's a trait for me.
It's only because I'm tired and need obscene amounts for rest and recovery time XD It's probably a human thing, but I wouldn't class myself as lazy, more, overwhelmed. |

Wow... a lot of people seem to be getting high for Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw was second for me a 65, wheareas for slytherin I was at 70. 55 and 52 for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff!
Well, that means we value intelligence, determination, wit, knowledge, and amibition! Which is a good thing! |

Its one that was properly devised by psychologists, and has a lot of questions. Its really good.
I got Slytherin as my predominant house, so I am in Slytherin!
I wanted others to take it so I could compare results
