Speaking of Simon Baron-Cohen...
and I was, really, just a couple of months ago, trust me, I don’t forget these things. Bill of Summa Minnutiae posted a link to an at-home home/do-it-yourself Asperger’s quiz. For entertainment only. Baron-Cohen, who knows whatof he speaks, was one of the designers of this quiz - which means it’s not just voodoo.

I scored a 28, which is not exactly what some might call ‘good.’ It could have been worse, but I’m good at multi-tasking and I can be rather social* if all the planets are in the proper alignment and I’m having a good year. Looks like I’ll have to stop blaming the paterfamilias for all of the neurological quirks around here. This might be a fun quiz for the next family get-together. I also, fortunately, have an unAsperger’s-like gift for reading other people’s reactions. That means I’ll know when the test is no longer ‘fun.’

(I’m borderline enough that I know when it creeps people out that I remember their phone number, address etc. when they’ve only told me once. So at work, I usually ask even when I don’t need to. Just so they don’t think I’m some kind of crazy stalker.)

And, no, I haven’t seen Borat yet.

* (My family is hosting a pirate themed party over Labor Day week-end. I hope my sociability is on an upswing... It was at a peak when I consented to the party. And offered the pirate theme idea.)
