The Dilemma:

I can't get much work done with people around.

I can't get much work done with no one around because I get lonely and spend way too much time on the internet.

In short; bugger.

I'm quoting Pete again because this is me.

Get back to work, you!

somehow, in this day of super laziness, I'm thinking dinner of Goldfish crackers is not the best idea.

Let's see... what have I had for dinner? Godiva Hot Chocolate, croissants, blackberry jam, sorbet, godiva chocolates, black tea with milk and honey... and I'm contemplating having another croissant.

hmm, at least the goldfish don't have any trans fats, no hydrogenated stuff, and no high fructose corn syrup crap.

Course KT has just convinced me Pizza is a wonderful thing too. Boboli's here I come!

I found this interesting quiz for Asperger's Syndrome: [link]

Before the actual quiz, they have this question, the results of which don't count for your score but instead are used for their own research.

If you are willing to take part, please read the scenario, and answer. We are interested in what you would think if this was a real world situation. We are not interested in how complex an interpretation someone can work out. If you think there is an obvious answer, please put that down

Please imagine you work in a big open plan office. On your way home after work, you realise you forgot something and go back. As you approach the open office door, you see one of your colleagues. She explains the new computer system to another employee, an older man who will retire next week. How much would what you saw change your opinion of your collegues altruism?

Then there is a scale of 11 possible values, ranging from "not at all" to "very much." Then they have two questions (with text boxes where you can enter answers):

Please give a short reason for your decisions

and

Is there anything else you would want to know in order to decide how altruistic this person is?

I dunno - that seemed like such an ambiguous question.

Anyway, on the Aspie survey I got:

Your Aspie score: 153 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 43 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Bah.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the fuh-reaky toy.

You know what that reminds me of? In the remake of the Pod People, remember when the disabled vet and his dog were combined into a single - creature, sort of a dog with a human face?

In the remake of the Pod People,

Do you mean Invasion of the Body Snatchers ? Because that remake had what you describe. Freaked me out as a kid, too.

Your Aspie score: 81 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 88 of 200 You are both Aspie and neurotypical

what does this mean?

what does this mean?

Dunno. I mean, I don't know why they have both scales instead of a single scale.
