What is your Autism-Spectrum Quotient

18 January 2011, 09:18

Following on from the Girls in Computing thread, maybe computing is not male or female but a state of mind. From Wired

The Geek Syndrome

Autism - and its milder cousin Asperger's syndrome - is surging among the children of Silicon Valley. Are math-and-tech genes to blame?
Wired 9.12: The Geek Syndrome

So do the test, find out if what you suspected is true.

You may have guessed, I scored 32

There was one of these on Facebook a while back.

It reckoned that 30 was the threshold for 'Adult Autism' the rain man being up over 40 odd i think.

I came in at a nice 6, while my 'crazy in the head' missus nailed it at 29.

That confirmed a lot of suspicions that did!

I reckon my score was up because I recognize patterns and have an interest in numbers.
