| Yes definitely. I'd say it normally takes nearly an hour for me to 'switch off my brain', and i usually spend another hour in the morning 'waking up/snoozing'. I've been called lazy many times, and wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a spectrum thing. Our brains are clearly different |

| I have taken the one suggested early in this thread, the basic online ones and a Mensa one, I come out around the same on every one, and to me, they all seem to be based on the same type of very logical rationing so I really don't see there can much to be 'wrong' about the online free ones.

| [quote]Does anyone really believe world peace is possible? It depends on your definition. If you imagine world peace to mean 'no violence', then clearly not, it has always been a violent planet.

I play guitar, various keyboards, banjo, harmonica etc etc (honestly).
I am more or less completely self taught.
I cannot read music, I barely understand tabliture.
I feel like I don't really understand how I know how to play, it just feels natural to me.
Do other aspies share this juxtoposition? |

| I am in the UK. Birmingham is the second largest city of the UK, but is also one of the most landlocked. The Main Island of Britain is long and thin, and therefore you can only be around 70(?) miles from the cost, wherever you are.
