| This article is very neat and cozy in how it divides HFA and AS into seperate groups, but the reality is that kids who try to socialise (and fail) are diagnosed with HFA all the time, and kids who had cognitive delays are diagnosed with AS, this article would be accurate if all psychiatrists agreed ... |

Yes, unless I have to debate something with myself, in which case there are two voices conversing, one in my own voice, and the second is voice is usually a contrarian viewpoint.
I call my contrarian voice Liz. |

I'm firmly of the opinion that your score is dependent on whether or not you think you have AS, not whether or not you have it.
I thought I had AS last year, and scored 180, I don't think I have AS now, and I score about 50. |

I'm not autistic and almost all my everyday thoughts are verbal, the "image" is whatever I happen to be looking at at the time of thinking, regardless of subject.
