I got 25 - I think my ability to fantasize and be a big picture person balanced my dislike of socializing and other stuff that would have made my score higher.

ETA: How does ADD interact with the Asperger's spectrum?

29 which has to be a factor of introversion because I don't think anyone who has met me f2f would ever think I wasn't neurotypical. But then I also answered as private me, not the sociable persona I put on around others.

eta: I'm totes neurotypical. That's never even been up for discussion. .

ADD and Autism/Asperger's is a common thing. I'm going to get evaluated for ADD and I asked in my secret FBalance group if others had it too and I got a resounding yes.

I heard back from the head of volunteer services on the Denver Comic Con position I applied for.

"We'd like to have you meet with us to discuss the role and how you might fit. "

Does that sound like an interview to see if they want to pick me? Or that it is mine and we need to discuss how the new position fits within the current structure? The meeting will likely be on Saturday.

That sounds like an interview to me, Suzi.

Sounds like an interview to me too, Suzi.

Speaking of which... other people who've done group therapy, have you ever had an interview for joining a group? My therapist suggested joining this group, so I contacted the woman who runs it, and she asked me to come talk to her and the other therapist who runs it. I got there, and it was seriously like an interview. The group was full and they were interviewing me to see if I'd get a place on the waiting list, and how high my place would be. They kept saying they wanted to make sure I'd fit with the group, which I get, but I left feeling like I'd failed a test. They never called me back. It was weird. I've done group therapy before, and those times, you just had to show up. It wasn't like, this is AA and you should be in OA, you don't need this type of support, it was more like an exclusive therapy club. Has anyone else encountered this?

Never heard of it, but my experience is pretty much nil. Gotta say though, sounds like a great way to make people who already feel bad about themselves feel worse.

Sounds like a good way to get people to find a different therapist.

I used to do screening interviews for the rape/sexual assault/child sexual abuse support (not therapy) groups that I did, to screen out for things like active suicide ideation, personality disorders that were outside my skillset to handle (but I'm not a trained therapist), etc. But presumably the fact that your therapist referred you to the group and thought you'd be a good fit would carry some weight.

All that aside, they definitely should have called you back and explained exactly why you didn't get into the group, if that was in fact the case. Anything else is downright unprofessional.

I am tipsy on prosecco!
