Asperger's Affinity

Me and numbers are not good friends. I prefer words by far. Numbers just mix around in my head and come out all wrong.

15.

Me and numbers are not good friends. I prefer words by far. Numbers just mix around in my head and come out all wrong.

The weird thing is that I'm really good at numbers as patterns, but not so interested when they're random.

I can't remember my phone number. I have to turn it into a song so I can remember the melody. I have a cheat sheet for my own phone number I referred to for years. I can still forget it if I can't remember the first few digits. Husband can remember locker combinations back to when he was in grade school.

On my SAT's I scored higher on math than verbal. But I don't LIKE the numbers as much as I do words.

I got a 25. Im guessing its because i like order, because i lurve parties and meeting new people.

I suck at math. Not because I can't add or anything, but because numbers mix themselves around in my head, so one formula looks as goos as another, even if the numbers are in the wrong spot. And somehow when I copy, 325 often turns into 235 or something, so the math might be right but the answer is wrong.

I have to triple check my addition to make sure I didn't put in things backwards or such. Generally, my math is correct - I usually make some sort of error in what I added up though.

*shrug* Words are easier. As is social interaction, even though I'm really shy.

Oh cool! Yeah, ENTP suits you very well from what I can see.

In what way?

When I first did it about 15 years ago, I was an INTJ and that seemed true then. I've changed a lot over the years and the ENTP seems true now. (But then so it should, after all these tests are just based on what you say about yourself and in the past I have seen people give themselves profiles that bear no resemblance to what they're really like.)

I scored 10. I didn't even make the scale.

Birds of a feather

That you're clever, you set your own pace, and you don't really care about opinions about your cleverness. Good at gathering clever people to you.

You forgot to mention that I'm also paranoid enough to have assumed that you meant something less complimentary.

Thank you.

I can't see how I could be meaner than in your "Insult Me" thread

I didn't take the test, but did look at the questions out curiosity due to the fact my 10 yr. old nephew has Asperger's Syndrome.

By spending time with him and knowing his personality, I believe he would've answered "Definitely agree" to probably 98% of the questions. Though he does not do too well in social settings and is stubbornly set in the way he does things, he's brilliant when it comes to numbers/math and remembering things like all the presidents & vice presidents and the years they were in office, every country & their capital cities, etc.

True. You shouldn't have peaked quite so early in our acquaintance.

 

[sophieloves]

You scored 16.


pretty average then

 

[Darktan]

I scored a 29.

No big surprise, really.

You just HAD to have a higher score than me, didn't you?

It's not my fault I'm more autistic than you. I'm just better.

Shut up. SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!!

 

[Darktan]

I would offer to arrange building blocks with you in accordance to color, shape, and size but you always put the off red blocks with the red blocks.

So much to learn...*sigh*

They...never...come...out...even...*sob*

 

[leZilla]

22. All that social chitchat and making new friends BS is what got me.

I think this is why I get along with the autistic kids at work so well.

After arranging building blocks with Jake for an hour and reciting the bussing numbers for every kid at the school by heart my co-workers started wondering about me.

Not to mention that their idea of lunchtime conversation makes it difficult for you to eat in their presence. The teachers, not the kids.

This is very true. I'll take someone who throws apple sauce at me over someone who discusses God and Oprah constantly any day.

Amen, brother.

Tell the boys to leave me alone. I keep losing track of where I am and having to keep starting the speckle count again. Did you know you have 17 pieces of gum under here? 3 Juicy Fruit; 5 Spearmint; 7 Cinnamon; and 2 that were too old to be identified. Foodsnob tasted them for me.

Oh my God, yeah. That's something I could do without. My son wanting to inspect all gum under a table and report back upon its status.
