Your Aspie score: 37 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 132 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical |

| My son has the heart of gold. He doesn't have a manipulative bone in his body. Always honest and answers questions truthfully. He's a great artist. I love his paintings and his poems. They are beautiful and full of imaginations. He's so good with Lego and in general building things. I would like to ... |

| Which country would you suggest I moved to? Japan or China to name a couple. Many people kiss in public, as well as do other "unacceptable" things in China. I recall this train station in China with a public toilette in front of it. There was no wall around the toilette, and yes, a man was using it... |

| Seriously though, you guys do realize that social norms are very much defined within a specific cultural setting, right? Consider these: In France, kissing and arguing with your lover in public are considered *totally* normal, yet asking someone's name upon first encounter is considered uncommon, ev... |

| I find the research on Fragile X interesting. My son has a lot of the physical characteristics typical to a Fragile X person. He has flat feet, long face, and people who are close to my son have always commented on his unusually large ears. The genetic theory also matches the way the AS gene had wor... |

| I would like to live around the world, not as a traveler, but as a resident working whatever jobs that can help people and not worry about an income. Materially, I don't need anything. I've got everything I ever wanted in life. When I was a teenager, I fancied that one day I would find love and spen... |

I cherished diversities. I think it's great that we have people from many different religious and cultural backgrounds. |

| I grew up in the Bible Belt and there simply was no bullying of the kind I read about here. It was not tolerated. I'm not sure if I could agree to that as I just finished reading Jesus Land, http://www.juliascheeres.com/ The severe bullying described in the book about the author's childhood in rura... |

| My husband told my then 8 year old aspie that hitting girls was unacceptable under any circumstances. He pointed out that boys who hit girls were dishonorable and cowardly. And he made my son look up "dishonorable" and "cowardly" in the dictionary and discuss their meanings. My literal minded aspie... |

We should qualify our response -- Aspie male or female, perhaps race too.
Japan is cool for Aspie male because it is not uncommon that the mating process is initiated by females there. But I *suspect* it could be a disaster for the Aspie females.
Eugene OR gets my vote too. |

| Technically, one can be both atheist and religious. Buddhism is a non-theistic religion, and many would call it an atheist religion. You can read more about Buddhism here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism |

| Thanks SeriousGirl. I understand parties are stressful to aspie kids, but isn't a party just a microcosm of society in general? My son has to deal with other people in schools and at work later in life. Having a breakdown while playing with his close friends are disconcerning to me. |
