"Do you find it easier to understand and communicate with odd & unusual people than with ordinary people? "

This test is making me nervous!

Not all the way fair because I am self-diagnosed but... when I read these things I'm like whoaaa how did you know

"Do you often don't know what to do with your arms"

"Have you been fascinated about making traps?" Really specific questions!

Feels a little insulting when you put it that way, man.

I can't talk on the phone without pacing. Ok, that isn't true, I can talk on the phone without pacing, but pacing makes it a lot easier.

For example...

The hypothesis that Neanderthals become extinct because of 
free trade is compelling and seems to match the troublesome 
situation of autistics in a more globalized world.

Supplements of L-carnosine, carnitine and taurine, that is 
naturally occurring in a high-meat diet, has positive effects on 
autistic children.

It is possible that the instinctive reaction of autistics when 
they hear the sound of a motor-bike triggers an ancient fear 
for cave-bears.

Many people with AS are face blind. This is likely because the 
specialized circuit for analyzing faces is adapted to recognizing 
Neanderthal faces rather than modern human faces. Aspie-quiz 
have found that autistics rate Neanderthal faces as more attractive 
than neurotypicals.

Neanderthals often had “rodeo-type” injuries. This probably was 
caused by wrestling large (semi) domestic animals… Autistic 
individuals frequently have unusual sensitivities for pain. 
They are both more sensitive to touch, and less sensitive to 
pain. This might have it’s origin in sexual selection, and in 
Neanderthal habits of wrestling large mammals. Possibly this 
formed a ritual where spanking were used to harden their 
bodies. This is what is manifested in the pain differences in autism.

Violence against females, rape and infanticide are fundamentally 
incompatible with masochism.

It’s probable that Neanderthals primary use of musical instruments 
wasn’t for entertainment or music, rather as a way to herd animals.

I think you should get points (or not) for having the ability to finish the test.
I just can't! Too many questions! No patience!

Oh my god, I thought I was the only person looking at Neanderthal porn :O

j/k, even though I am *very likely an Aspie* I am generally able to remember faces.

The traps thing is that the person who wrote the test is trying to correlate "hunting" characteristics to autism or Neanderthal genetics.

On the This American Life episode, this speech therapist suspects her husband of being autistic, but she doesn't take it very seriously because it's a common joke in the Autism community that if you describe typical aspie behaviors, a lot of women will say, "Oh, that sounds like my husband!"

When she saw this test and the question about making traps, she thought it was a typo because the question was so weird, but then she showed it to her husband, who was like, "Oh my god, I think about making traps all the time!"

I got bored and didn't finish the quiz.

Hella neurotypical

No surprises, sorta down the middle.
