WTF does someone foolishly training someone on something they won't need in a week and that they're probably looking forward to never thinking of again have to do with altruism??

I got a question about them staying back to train an attractive woman. I don't see the relevance either.

I was thinking about it more in terms of "going on and on about techy stuff and I don't care who my audience is" but yeah. Altruism? The hell?

Your Aspie score: 140 of 200

Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 78 of 200

You are very likely an Aspie

You know, these things always say that... and I suspect my brother is an Aspie, but...

I honestly don't think I am. I think I probably just have a lot of weird tics and a warped self-image.

OOoo, I forgot to mention. While visiting sister for niece b-day party, she mentioned cool tax tip this year. Apparently there is a line on the regular form for writing off the federal excise tax on your phone bills. So before doing taxes or heading to your EA or CPA, gather all phone bills (cell and landline). It's something like 3% of each bill. Not a lot, but it helps.

Turbo Tax has an automated line for this. If you don't have all my old bills but I know I was charged this fee on my old landline, so I took the standard $60 deduction.

Honestly - I'm socially awkward, have confidence issues, and don't pick up on other people's cues a lot of the time. I'm not sure it's helpful for people grappling with Aspergers to have me and everyone like me lumped in with them. I don't know - it feels to me like people who go all "oh, I get down too" when depression comes up.

Oh, whoops, I got the new goodlooking guy question. So much for my attention to detail.

I've taken about four or five Aspie tests in the last week. I either get "borderline aspie" or else sorta' in the middle range of aspies.

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. A lot of my past reactions to people that just didn't make sense to me suddenly fits together if I consider aspies as a diagnosis.

I've often felt like I miss out on a lot of non-verbal communication. I've thought it must be sorta' how a colorblind person feels - knowing there's a lot they're not perceiving.

Again, I say, "Bah."

The fuh-reaky toy is exactly that. Creepy.

The quilt is gorgeous, vw!

I am, apparently, "very likely neurotypical." I know people who might argue that point...

Hm. I am both Aspie and neurotypical - 100 out of 200 and 118 out of whatever, respectively. No idea how to interpret that.

No one at krav with me this weekend, my students or otherwise would call me vaguely mentally healthy. Bad and getting worse. But at least I hope to go down funny.
