the wired AS test

Post Reply New Topic

I like my score. Need it higher.

I have done this test 5 times over the last 15months. Each time I have performed the test I have scored 38.

I take a 38 to mean that I am not as extreme as some. However, I also consider my score of 38 a good sign that I am learning to live with the various problems associated with aspergers. 3 years ago I would refuse to visit a shop if there was a high likelihood of the staff knowing me or perhaps I might see someone who knows me a little. This would just destroy any chance of me going. If the people are complete strangers then I didn't mind as much. The people who recognised me used to try and make small talk and I would always get mixed up and nervous. However, people I had never seen before would follow a clearer pattern of discourse that would be easier to navigate.

I still wish someone could do me a flow chart for every small talk eventuality. I have asked friends to practise with me but they say its not possible to do in a role playing situation because it would not be spontaneous. I don't understand what they are getting at. I think this deserves a topic in its own right...

I have done this several times and scored in the range 39 to 43.
