No shit? From the "Diagnosis" episode? I remember him I think.

Yeah! Senior year of college, final semester, he replaced this douchy guy who always ate my food and never cleaned the dishes. The first day, we noticed that he had powerpuff girl sheets on his bed. This seemed odd for a huge black dude from the tough Bronx. But we just thought he was a little odd. Over time we tried to comprehend his actions. If we were all sitting around watching tv, he was watching us. In the mornings, when he was in the shower, we would hear him having arguments in multiple voices. So we thought maybe he was schizo. He was a really nice kid, but also did these things that would totally creep us out, like going to his room, closing the door, and peaking at us through the crack.

I was totally shocked when I stumbled onto that Radiolab episode. I had no idea it was going to be about him until I heard his voice.

My roommate in college had no idea he had it while he was living with us. No one did really. I wrote a psych paper theoretically diagnosing it, but he and his family discovered that he had Aspergers a year or so after college. There's actually a great segment of Radiolab about him. I highly recommend giving it a listen.

Yeah. From what I understand, they've (Psychologists) merged Aspergers into Autism this year. From what I understand, scientists don't know what causes Autism, so it's extremely difficult to pin down.

Autism is something that's still very much a mystery, since the understanding of the human brain is still in very early stages. But generally, it's believed that a person with autism lacks empathy. Empathy is the capacity to recognize the emotions experienced by others. My young cousin has just recently been diagnosed as possibly having autism, but she's too young to be sure. I also had a roommate in college with autism. It was a very odd situation.

How does one be an autistic person? I've seen 'autistic' being thrown around a lot lately. Can someone explain what it means right now in a few sentences? Don't fancy looking up big paragraphs.

I should say that this test is amazing; not because it's very exact and is crafted very well but for this reason: if anyone can intentionally answer those question so that the results show him/her not to be autistic (even with lying) then it proves that she/he is not. Because no autistic person can intentionally answer those question to show him not to be autistic. That's the difference between an autistic and a neurotypical person.

This test is very dubious indeed. I used a real life psychologist instead.

I imagine having aspergers must be sort of like texting without emoticons.

74. It is eerie how many of the questions fit me. I think a lot of these tests are simply made to cause you to believe you have what it is talking about.

60 of 200, and a lot of my points for came from questions more about being introverted I'd say.
