Do You Have Asperger's Syndrome?
There is an online test you can do to find out if You Have Asperger's Syndrome. My results are below. You can see which spectrum I am under - Neurotypical. I got a score of 40 out of 200.
Take the test at Source 9 and put your text results here. Upgraded Members can upload the image if they know how to do it. You DO NOT have to register at that site just press the button "I Accept".

Below is Felipe's graph. He got the following:

Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 82 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

The more I observe people the more I see that many should take this and related tests because I feel Asperger's is more common than we think. Tubeaway Army's lead singer who was later diagnosed with Aperger's said people thought he was very pompus and he could not understand it, but after getting tested it all makes sense. Keanu Reeves also has Asperger's, so the Neo part really does fit him well.
I don't remember how to post images.
Farseer, you can also go to a psychologist and share this. They have a test for adults with Aspergers and it would be good if you could get some sort of professional diagnosis. There are millions of Aspies living independent lives and unaware of Aspergers. As a matter of fact, I believe most people have several Aspies traits if you think about it.
Yes, LDS_Forever, I agree there are plenty of adults with traits of this syndrome - I've been looking at a lot of people differently for the past couple of weeks and I'm not alone, that's for sure. I'm pretty sure my boss has some traits, specifically socially - he babbles when he gets nervous and says the most outrageous things! And he makes weird faces when he's trying to make a point.
In fact, the majority of people that I think have traits exhibit them socially, whether it's awkwardness in a group or hijacking conversations and not having any realization of what they're doing. It certainly helps me, in some ways, to look back on my life and realize why I always felt like a "loner" even though I was in a group of friends. And why I've never really been able to understand other women, their motivations and intentions.
Anyway, it's all been very interesting introspection (and speculation) for a few days. I'm going to get a referral from my health care provider to see someone soon.
