This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Autism Quiz
Here's a different sort of quiz... this one actually created by researchers. How autistic are you?
I scored a 12. I guess I'm "average" in that arena. But I think there's definitely a fine line between autistic spectrum and someone who (a) likes math and problem-solving and such and (b) prefers small groups and one-on-one to parties and crowds. I'm not sure that this quiz differentiated well between the two. In fact, I'm sure I would have scored higher if I were more of a numbers person...cause the social side of it is definitely lacking for me. :-)
Interesting quiz. I scored 18. But I could tell what they were getting at in the questions, so I was careful about how I chose my answer. Since autism is a spectrum, there's going to be a lot of shades, not just one color. Thanks for sharing!

I did notice that it seems to think number-loving introverts were autistic.
Ticking clocks do drive me up the wall...
