How Autistic are YOU?

But that's because I am autistic!

22. I loved the "do you categorize things?" question. This whole forum consists of autistic people who categorize aircraft, engines, weapons, battles, etc.

16. An engineer who is great with people, usually an oxymoron!

Hey I answered EVERY question about crowds, socializing and friends with a STRONG NEGATIVE. I was sure that was going to doom me.

Ah yes, but there is categorizing things and there's categorizing things. For example, my DVDs must be in EXACT alphabetical order, models must be sitting at the same angle, books in size order. If someone were to come into my room and mess them up, I would have to sit there sorting it until it was all back exactly how I wanted it.

Although that is the official test, the thing you have to bear in mind is that there are lots of different types and levels. Although I don't understand it fully, what would apply to me may not apply to someone else. Oddly, although I am obsessive about the above things, I'm really untidy with everything else and just leave it wherever

You're not autistic. You're just a slob with hypochondria.

Well you've got me on the lazy part

You just did a fine job describing obsessive - compulsive disorder! OCD.
Hmmmm. Do you dress nice and love show tunes?

Hey maybe he's a lazy unkempt hypochondriac metrosexual.

Ever considered a career in the medical profession?

 

[Matt308]

Actually yes. But alas I despise most people.

 

[Negative Creep]

Despising people would make you perfect for any number of public sector jobs!

 

[Matt308]

How true.
