Is that some sort of meme or something?

@masonwheeler Also, for anyone who doesn't know, here's the Wiki page:
Basically, the idea is to use magnetic flux to generate an electrical potential in highly specific parts of the brain and cause the neurons there to fire action potentials, or block them from firing action potentials, depending on the charge you induce.

Well, why not:
I have no idea how to interpret this in a meaningful way, however.

In China, red is good, and blue is bad.
That's because China, being on the other side of the Atlantic, is in the Southern Hemisphere.

Looks like your image got borked too.

@Fox Yeah, I noticed that just after posting. Boomzilla did post the correct one, however, so all to the good I hope.

What you did wrong is you expected :nod: to maintain your image link.
-
@Fox Also, I bet these hotlinks to their .php script are generating a lot of traffic for them.
-
@Fox Gotcha. OK, then.
Oh, and FWIW, the maintainer of that site has been on the OS Dev forums quite a bit lately; given that his URL and username are from his OS (RDOS), which he's been making since the late 1989 as a quasi-commercial embedded system project, this is no surprise. Nor is it surprising that he knows something about Asperger's Syndrome, ADD, and OCD, given that group's makeup (I am pretty sure I am one of the least neurologically divergent posters there, which is rather a scary thought).

It's about the shape not the size, dammit.

If you think you're weird, you're going to be more weird.
I'm the guy in panels 3 and 11, sometimes the one in panel 6.
I'm neurotypical, btw. I just forgot to take a screenshot or save the link before closing the private tab, and no way I'm doing that again.
-
@Zecc Not necessarily. I once heard someone say, "the bigger they are, the more there is to cuddle."
-
This quiz is stupid and so are pretty much almost all other ones like it (e.g. Myers-Briggs which gave me IN?? every time someone told me to take it, the last two letters were seemingly random every time).
I'm
normalneurotypical according to it.But being forced to pick between ?/0/1/2 is just not nuanced enough. There's a difference between never, rarely, reoccurringly and frequently. Same with levels of enjoyment / discomfort.
So that lead to me usually picking the less abnormal-seeming choice in such cases.

This. Especially if you're starting to enjoy it.
@Fox said in Aspie Quiz:
A metaphorical "good/bad" binary comparison which seems to counter the inclusive terminology such as "neurodiverse" that's meant to say that neurodiversity is not necessarily a bad thing, just a different thing.
With terminology like "typical" and "diverse", it's pretty much putting out a different message. Diverse is interesting, typical is... typical.

Except there are some benefits to being autistic. People on the autism spectrum are often extremely good at something, well beyond what most neurotypical people would achieve. And there are sometimes little or no negative effects. Calling autistic people "broken" is a drastic oversimplification, which is rather insulting to autistic people who are okay with how they are.
-
@Fox Sure, but for every Rain Man there are dozens of poor kids who drive their parents and everyone else around them nuts, and experience all manner of frustration (and occasionally even trauma) themselves, because they're simply not able to relate to other people properly.

But that's the point, it's not inclusive. It's the opposite. The message I get from this is "oh, we're terribly sorry, we just got your results and it turns out you're typical. What, you thought you're the next Gregory House? Psh. Go back to your nine-to-five corporate clock puncher friends, we'll hang out in our exclusive Aspie club full of diverse people".

What's wrong with essentially being called "normal"? I think you're misinterpreting "neurotypical". It's not being used in a condescending manner like, "Psh, typical."

You have two words set against each other - "diverse" and "typical". One is usually used to describe positive qualities - a diverse person is a person with a rich world of experiences, a diverse choice is preferable to the opposite, a diverse group is one that can reach out to more people. The other has pejorative connotations - a typical person is boring and uninteresting, a typical choice is one that doesn't express individuality, a typical group is one that has no identity on its own.
So yeah, they are positive and negative when compared.

Except a typical person is normal, average, healthy. They're both being used with positive connotations here.

I honestly suspected to be more autistic

<img src="http://image_url_goes_here">
also works.If you just paste the URL on its own line, the HTML special characters get treated specially before it does the URL => embedding transformation. So the resulting image URL contains
&
where every&
used to be originally. As you've seen, this breaks the PHP script that generates the images.

Oh does that actually work? I'd just saved the image and reuploaded it here.

Yes, it works. Because. Why? I don't know! He's on third! And I don't give a darn!

I can testify that, nope, even after having a good prescription I still have difficulty with depth.
Me too, since my left eye is barely working at all.
This is me, BTW:
I guess they're trying to tell me that I have no intellectual skills and am not an aspie, but very bad at being neurotypical? I feel insulted.

@asdf It means you're terribly average at not being average...

@Tsaukpaetra said in Aspie Quiz:

It's romantic feelings, though, not experiences. Unless you're asexual and/or a hermit, you should have had at least a feeling towards someone else, even if it wasn't reciprocated.

FFS! How would I know!?!?
Now I have to start a simulation specifically geared to gathering this data (without Engine) so I can properly answer this question.
I'm hating this test so much right now...

I get what they're really asking, but still... This is 2016 guys, nobody knows phone numbers anymore!
-
@xaade said in Aspie Quiz:

Does that mean anything at all?
More seriously, though: I think the test showed me what I already know: I'm neurotypical (maybe a bit weird) and have anxiety issues, which sometimes caused me to give an answer that might indicate I'm likely to be an aspie.

@Tsaukpaetra if it's something that (given the right partner, obviously) you'd like to try, then it's a yes. If the idea of oral fluid transfer just grosses you out regardless of who it's with, then it's a no. If you still can't decide, pick the middle option.

Simulation results indicate that in private, sure I wouldn't not like it. Bah, whatever, I'll put a 1.

I'm pretty sure that by "different way" it means something like "five, fifty-five, twelve twenty-three" instead of "five, five, five, one, two, two, three".

That's what the "?" is for.
@Tsaukpaetra said in Aspie Quiz:

I interpreted it to mean do you recognize it as a phone number if (assuming american numbers) someone gave you 7 or 10 digits using a cadence that's not typical (e.g. giving them out in pairs rather than the usual grouping of it into area code + exchange + remaining 4 digits)
I find it to be a strange question, though. I think I actually left that as a "?"

Huh. I suppose so, but I'm rarely in such a situation, so 1 for that too.

Hmm, then that depends. I would say yes it would trip up quick match and transliteration, so 1 for that too.

... Serves me right for not reading the instructions carefully. I assumed it meant unanswered, need to make a selection, but they didn't want to default to "no" for everything...
