On The Aspie Side Of Normal

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Hey, look! The internet says I have Aspberger’s:



Of course, the internet also assures me that time is a four-sided cube, that DnD is a Satanic training program, that Jennifer Saunders is going to be the next Doctor on Doctor Who, that all heterosexual sex is rape, and that Moulin Rouge is a good movie,* so I take what the internet says with a grain of salt.

On the other hand, I do know a few people who’d believe it about me. Mom says I do act a little strange.

Wanna know if you have Aspberger’s? Here. Knock yerself out.  Be warned, some of the the questions are a little vague.


*No, really, all of these are real claims I have seen on the internet. Even the last one. Crazy, huh?

My niece (who is eight) was just diagnosed Asperger's. Everyone in the family except my sister (who is older than me) is certain my sister is also Asperger's. In some ways, it's the trendy diagnosis, but in others it's good to have the resources and knowledge. I know that will make a difference for my niece.

and, of course, diagnosis by internet quiz is totally one hundred percent accurate for sure!

I think you're right on both counts--once the spotlight shines on a condition, people start to see themselves in it. It's just like the psych students who are notorious for coming down with everything they study. ;) But it's also good to get the resources for people who need it.

And of COURSE internet quizzes are completely foolproofily accurate! It's just that my IQ shot up 30 points between taking the quiz on one site and taking the one on another! In three days! The internet NEVER LIES.
