RDOS test returned:

Your Aspie score: 155 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 46 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Been with my spouse since I was 16 and he was 17. He's the only one that gets me and I'm the only one that gets him, heh. That's part of why I looked into whether or not I might have AS, because he was actually diagnosed as borderline autistic at 12, RDOS gave him 192 of 200 and 36 NT. A search for 'aspergers and bad teeth' brought up a hit for the site and after reading the thread... holy wow. It's amazing to find that there are other people out there like me. Hi everyone.

You made me smile, my smile, don't show teeth cause I don't have many. Wish I had gotten rid of mine years ago, life would have been different.

PS. I need to add, that's a hellava brave statement, I like you for that alone!!

It's been discussed before, but not lately that I can think of.. anyway. Me? I have ground my teeth at night for a real long long time, I don't anymore, lol. I bet I haven't stopped, how would I know, do you think I should care?

Hope you're both here and, well...welcome home


Hell if I had had good teeth, and this is no lie, I would have gone up the Orinoco with Billy (different Billie, my gf is a Billie, he wasn't, lol [Barse smoked this foul looking small black cigars, which were actually pretty mild, my Billie smokes differant kind of cigar, flavored and I find them most foul, but she likes them, I smoke a different kind and who cares. Probably keep the bugs off, cept in the deep woods of the Adirondacks, no lie, I saw the no-see-ems carry a full grown bear across the stream and...well you just don't want to know. There is a reason no one lives there and it isn't bears.] and I would have signed on to the two year contract in the South Pacific, bases out of Hawaii. Not as glamorous as it sounds, crew houses aren't always a good way to live) Didn't help my case much, I told, my then, wife, I'd send her post cards. But I would have still done it, had my teeth been healthy or gone. We sperated and so did I with most of my teeth.

I'm much more relaxed these days, she's (girl friend, IE Billie Jo) closer to me then anyone ever has been. She's not normal and neither am I. I don't talk about it much but I don't need to. Once in a while, I do think, one must say it, if it works, it works. You did and I'll say it again, we aren't normal, and I love to hear it. Thanks.

Grain of salt, welcome. you get to decide, but don't we always?


Archaeology....... after the word Billy Barse will get you , sorta, where I was, long time ago. I knew others, just as good. When you meet them tell them I said hi and I miss them. They are good people and willing to teach, if you really care. They are touchable, just don't be stupid Dry reading and a lot of finding nothing, but I never found that and they new it. Figure it out. I could explain that much easier but seriously, not that anyone is asking, you have to figure that out, if it's what you might like to do. You didn't ask, I know, but your profile smacks of it

Contract Archaeology is gypsy life, migrant, for real. You'll never meet finer. Not a one of them normal.. It is not easy and 50% of those I knew on the road were females, why and how they did it, well, I did too. I salute everyone one of them, not only for thier fine work in the field, but for just being them. Those are the people I really miss, we were family, in a world where family never meant s**t before.

want to know a secrect? Sorry for picking on you. I'm really not, got the runs of arch going....




Anyone think they are Indian, native american? Get a mirror and hope you have teeth, gonna tell you how to id bones, teeth, in the field.

Front teeth, behind them, in other words use a mirror. It will looks like shovel did it's thing, round tip shovel, in back of your tooth, teeth. U shapped, very distinctive, you are related, big time.. Didn't know you were? Thought you were and now you're, probably not, as much, if at all? Not difinative, but closer then you might like to know or don't, depending on your upbringing ;p, You'll know it when you see it, deep indent behind the tooth. (not real sure on the indent part, Billies [still obvious] is sort of minor ( don't really want to say minor either, must be studies on this someplace) to "old Burial teeth" I have seen) Damn close to the gum and the base of the tooth. Front insicsor easiest to see, bottoms. Good luck, lol. I ain't no wanna be, I just respect each and every cultural that lived near me and I have a count of over 22 differant, so far.

I also miss Grandfather, don't ask. But I will say, he liked strawberrys. So do I. Grandfather spoke at the UN, we need him today and I heard him.

Rethought that last, but only because some smart ass going to catch me on it, the real test in the field, for bone is this...

Dry your tongue and then touch the item to it, if it semi sticks, it is bone. Some rocks will do the same, I could name one off the bat, which makes digging near it a pain in the ass.

There are other "mouth tests" too. And you wonder why archs drink, you didn't, but there was only one group crazier then we were in the field, only one.

You'll never look at Indiana Jones again and I sure as hell hope not. It's way more complex, if you want it to be and in your own backyard. We have a thousand questions and that for me was the start, I didn't have a clue. I had to find the questions. No one was there to ask them.

I was flying a kite and it went down, while winding up my string, my eyes were on the ground. I was flying a kite.... or trying to. saw someting that looked like it might be an artifact...

I was on a project in Deleware and got the whole crew to go to the beach, to fly kites, we had a good time. I never told them. (years later, like over 30[25?]years later from that first kite moment) No artifacts on that beach and it felt good and I still couldn't fly a kite.

I got the shovel teeth from my dad, yes! He's almost full blooded, though of multiple tribes. I got a little from my mother's side, but am about 1/4 native american from blackfoot, cherokee, and some subgroup of sioux.

Well crap. I tried to post a picture of us together but... apparently I haven't been here long enough. He's from West Virginia originally though, and has the strangest sense of humor, kinda reminds me of some of what you posted, but it shouldn't surprise me I guess because a lot of his time was spent in and around the area in your profile which always sounds like 'pensatucky' but anyhow.

I knew I liked you


write private and I'll help you post a picture, if you like, has nothing to do with how long you are here.

oh ya, to do a private...well if that is a problem say so.



Do you like muffins or do you prefer cupcakes, exclusivly?

People might come on later warning you about me and my muffins, pay then no heed, I think they prefer cupcakes. Have you ever been squirrel fishing?

BOTH!

And muffins should always come with a warning.

And no! My aunt penny had one as a pet while I was growing up, they're too cute for me to want to hunt. Snipes on the other hand... I've hunted those suckers down more than once.

I killed your hello thread sorry, sorta


No squirrels were ever harmed in the fishing. I care not to describe the magnitude of bodily damage to any humans attempting such things. My god, a group of three, which is asking for damage, will drag you across the ground, towards, wherever it is they decide to live (but it is a small hole, too small), kicking and screaming and headed towards things you only had in nightmares. I mean shades of Moby Dick!! ! There is a reason Herman Melville only talked about whales and not squirrels. If you ever get a spare second, look up MTA, Kingston does it pretty well, on youtube, it wasn't taxes and the nickel that did it, they wanted Charlys samich!! ! It was peanut butter. and no he never returned.


If'n you do go to youtub, Muffin Man, Zappa.

Snipes, can't say I have ever observed them, nor hunted, yet. I am entruiged (spell check fail), I can hear them in my area, but have no need to part take of the meet or meat. Snarks on the other hand, well I consider myself a "self expert", might even be juicey, and I think chasing on type will lead to the other kind, althought rumor has it, there are more then one kind of snark, which by it's own traits, does not lead to any lesser kind, just by nature,. I think the AMA said that, I didn't. I suspect they're not real good at hunting Snipes, nor Snarks.

Ah, the strange dog plaque is indeed fitting if you're quoting Zappa at me out of the gate. The only song of his I'm terribly familiar with is the one about yellow snow. That said, thanks for the greeting indeed, either way. Everyone here is just great so far. It's usually pretty hard for me to find any group of people where more than one or two are interesting and/or relateable (sp?) and/or amusing.

I wasn't. I'm not that good, or fast to change. lol, textures. Second time recently it has been brought up, not sure what to make of it. No, I just like a couple of Zappas, don't care for as much as I probably should. I love his Zappa in Congress tapes, music that soothes my soul, he did look kind of kinky I did think and, well, his very best. But like he said on the tapes, It isn't normal but it doesn't involve kitchen appliances, I have done my best, since to include said appliances, even though they are not mentioned.
