Have you seen this AQ test?

[Wallace]

I read this board a fair bit, and have read that some of you with Autistic kids reckon you may be on the spectrum yourselves.

I cam across this test while I was looking for info on asperger's as I sometimes suspect dd may be borderline. I scored 32 which certainly makes ME borderline!

thanks!!! R'n'B.... typical i only 'click' after i've made a world wide demonstartion of my gulability!!!!

MrsF (can't call you Mrsbe), if you want to see the full horror of the "poem incident" you need to find the section on MN called poetry and go to the very start where I posted all the "uplifting" poems that I find upsetting, so we wouldn't have to see them here in SN. I got a telling off by someone who wanted to have a serious discussion about poetry too

If you really really want to see the poems and prose, MrsF then have a look in the Poetry section on mumsnet. Davros posted a load of them a while ago to rid the SN board of them.

WARNING: Do NOT read them unless you have a bucket nearby as they will induce vomiting.

Cross-posted there!

ah-ha!!!!when i'm feeling pissed off again i will look- then i can have a productive crying session!!!

Hiya
just found your thread, a bit outdated - me that is...
I did the test you mentioned. How do I find out where I am on the scale? I scored 16.

I have to send it to dh, he is more than likely an Aspie. Not that easy to diagnose though... hard work.

cheers for the link.
Hugs

basically anything over 32 indicates a 'possibility' that u are showing some Asperger's symptoms....so you score well away from that!!!

Is that what u expected!!!!

(i'm the Mrsf from the pther thread and i scored 35......now you can see why THAT thread had you so confused....I am away with the fairies!!!! Coppertop and i often ramble on together ....whilst the rest of you have sensible conversations!!!!!)

I am always sensible, MrsF.

Can I just nominate ds2 for the "Eccentric Toddler of the Year" award? He's currently wearing nothing but a nappy and a pair of blue Thomas boots (which he is now trying to fit inside ds1's Spiderman boots!) while 'reading' dh's electronics catalogue.

shall i name you captain then????

(or r u too young to remember him!!!!)

Sadly I am old enough to remember. Where would we be without that 'marvellous' rendition of "Happy Talk" (or whatever it was called!)?

STALK!

pheweeeee!

"Happy stalking stalking
Happy stalk.
Talk about stalking MrsF..."

Oh you r a one!!!!!

Actually that's your BEST word play yet!!!!!

OK, DD's supervisor has just done this test and scored 34. She needed alot of help understanding the questions!

Message withdrawn

No, I'm not. When it says, 'Do you focus on the bigger picture or the small details?' (or something like that), she said, 'it depends which painting I'm looking at'!!!!!

i scored 10 is that good?

Coppertop, ROFL at your description of ds2

i got 20

Ah yes, the AQ test. 43 for me, but that'd be expected .

Anything above 32 is supposed to mean "you could go ask a professional to do a proper assessment".

Seen the SQ and EQ ones as well? eqsq.com/

What was the ex-DH post about???

It wasn't the ex of someone who originally posted on this thread was it?

I think I've found the answer elsewhere. Sorry for bringing it up again.

Wallace, that is interesting. I scored 50. I have a child with an ASD. Does that mean I have it too?

I like socialising but sort of make myself do it. I wouldn't say I was diplomatic though, and I have been rude without meaning to be. But I am always the friend who remembers other people's birthdays.
When I was at work, people used to laugh at me because I never knew or understood the office politics. I used to get annoyed because they just didn't tell me what was going on. I don't have any obsessions though, just interests.
