wispfoxI have chai that I brewed and just finished drinking. I feel a little less like death warmed over.
I still hate people. Was _really_ snappy at co-workers yesterday, and yet they still kept trying to talk to me. What's _up_ with that? I should wear my headphones at work, even if there is no music playing in them. And not going to go to lunch with anyone today.
My lungs are slowly getting better, but I still wake up coughing.
Lunch tomorrow with former co-worker who I've not seen in... somewhere between 2 and 3 years. Sometimes the ways in which I reconnect with people fascinates me. *waves to said former co-worker*
My head hurts. I think I need to force myself to get to sleep early tonight, even if all I do is lie there and enjoy the comfy warmth.
Must. Stop. Buying. Non-food. Stuff! (because it makes it more difficult to pay off my loans quickly, if nothing else)
Not entirely sure if I should say whose journal I found them on, since the post was not public... hmm...
[had a difficult time with these first three, although more with the EQ one, since I could frequently have put both slightly agree and slightly disagree, depending on the situation in question - this usually related to body language type stuff, where the answer will change depending on if I am paying attention to body language type stuff or not, how well I know a person, and on how much attention is needed for what's in my head. Also happened a lot in terms of my general enjoyment of/comfort with social situatutions - there are social situations I enjoy and seek out, now that I've found a group of people who make sense to me, but there are probably far more of them that I will avoid. Also depends greatly on how much social energy I have available]
Autism Spectrum quotient: 37
0 - 10 = low
11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23 - 31 = above average
32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum
Systemizing quotient: 29
0 - 19 = low
20 - 39 = average (most women score about 24 and most men score about 30)
40 - 50 = above average (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score in this range)
51 - 80 is very high (three times as many people with Asperger Syndrome score in this range, compared to typical men, and almost no women score in this range)
80 is maximum
Empathy quotient: 28
0 - 32 = low (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20)
33 - 52 = average (most women score about 47 and most men score about 42)
53 - 63 is above average
64 - 80 is very high
80 is maximum
[This last one was strange. There were a number of times when I wanted to say 'none of the above' of the answers they gave, so guessed at what was most likely from the options. Does make me wonder how much that guessing based on available answers modified my score. And this was _DIFFICULT_, even with the instruction I was given in high school for exactly this kind of stuff]
Reading the mind in the eyes: 27
A typical score is in the range 22-30. If you scored over 30, you are very accurate at decoding a person's facial expressions around their eyes. A score under 22 indicates you find this quite difficult.

And I am _not_ slashdot! ;)

Hrm.

Their ranges seem to suggest that I am a likely candidate for AS. I remain unconvinced.

(but then, I also have trouble remembering you're shy, so my opinion may not be terribly useful)

Eyes: 21 which is strange for me. I'm usually good at reading people. I blame it on the headache which has only recently left my skull. :)
That was really interesting. Thanks for sharing the links.
