Should Have Knocked On Wood

Remember all that shit I was talking in my other entry about football?  Yea, well I SUCKED this week.  Right now I only have 14 correct out of a possible 37.  There are two more games I'm waiting on.  Thankfully the Rams are kicking some major booty right now.  No $48 for me this week.  Hopefully I won't be knocked back too far in the standings though.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I ran into this link on the forum I go to.  It's a test researchers at Cambridge University developed to measure autistic traits in adults.  Of course I took the test.  The average score for women is 15, men 17.  Most people with Asperger Syndrome or HFA score a 35.  I scored 37.  What???????  Now, what do I do?  I guess I need to talk to my family doctor.  I was really hoping the test was flawed.  I had PIC and my cousin take it.  PIC scored about an 8 or so.  My cousin had a 15.  Nope, not me. 

Oddly, ever since DJ was dx'd, I 've read DOZENS of books on the subject and am still reading.  I know they say alot of autism might come from certain aspects of the parents.  I did see many of the traits in me but I am extremely functioning.  Trust me on this.  I don't do well in social situations though.  I never know what to say.  Online is so easy.  But face to face I usually don't talk.  I mean, I talk to PIC and DJ and stuff.  I do talk to my co-workers, but I have to reach a comfort level.  If there is someone new working at my job, I won't talk.  I figured he got a few things from me, but me having Aspergers...no way!  Now I need to rethink this whole thing.  So far, I've only shared this with PIC.
