Asperger syndrome

I don't write much about myself here – in fact, this may be the first time I've done it. But this one I have to share, because there may be a couple of people who will find it interesting.

I just took the Asperger Syndrome test over at Pie Palace. I got a 23, just slightly lower than the average math contest winner and 8 points higher than the average biologist. That sounds about right: “The test assesses five different areas...[Higher scores] show poor social skill, attention switching, communication and imagination, and an exaggerated attention to detail.” Anyone who knows me will recognize that “poor social skill” fits me well.
