    They obviously were testing NTs here...

    I saw the same article in Slash Dot, and my first thought pretty much matched yours. A full 15 minutes alone with my thoughts seems more like a gift than a burden. The time would fly by for me.

    Do you talk to animals?

    I talk to Ivy, my dog, plus any other creature I come across except humans. I only talk to them if I need to for some reason unless it is one of my children. I talk to machinery also, though. Especially my car, Skylark. We've been through a lot together. I always tell the microwave and the dryer...

    What are your current obsessions?

    "I guess... the fact that I've watched about 30 episodes of the old 1980's Transformers cartoon in about a day is a rough indication, lol" All right, Astrotrain! 1st gen Transformers is one of my permanent obsessions. Since the '80's anyway. I still have a lot of the toys, comic books, and...

    Still A Kid At Heart?

    I have wondered before if I'm the only adult who can answer the question, "What's your favorite Hot Wheels car?" Shadowjet! I also love toy helicopters. One of these days I'm going to have enough money to get a remote control one. Those are just two mentions. I agree with the idea that it is...

    Do You Believe In God?

    No, I don't; not since I was 13 years old.

    What are your current obsessions?

    I've added palm trees very recently. Sketching them and finding out more than I knew before. Apparently the coco-de-mer is only found on two islands in the Indian Ocean, and produces the biggest seed on Earth (as much as 36 pounds.) This palm tree thing could be a problem, as I cannot bear hot...

    Answer two questions to see if you are an aspie

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the guy in the story stated both times that he just wanted the biggest smoothie. All other factors were irrelevant to him. The only intention exhibited was to obtain the biggest smoothie.

    How Did You React To Being Diagnosed?

    At the time, I didn't have much of a reaction. Even the doc said, "I can't tell what you're feeling." It has been almost a year, and all in all I have found it somewhat liberating. I may be going too far in the "wrong" direction, but I wear my shades as much as I want, stim in public, wear my...

    Do you do the Aspie Stare?

    Wow. Another thing I've done all my life that I didn't know was an Aspie trait until now. I not only don't smile, I kind of freeze until it's over as well. I don't enjoy having my photo taken and have to be guilt-tripped into it.

    Do you enjoy being an aspie/autist?

    Ironically enough, I think that being an Aspie is why I find it so very hard to post on Aspie forums. Now and then in my life I have occasionally found some place or some group where (or with whom) I thought I belonged. It has always turned out that I did not belong. I know that I qualify. I...
