Laurentius quote..
"I am crude, rude, bad, mad, and perhaps a little dangerous to know, and my friends would not have me any other way."

Do they have a choice?

 

[sapper1]

I just took the test and scored 36.That explains a lot.

 

[Laurentius]

I score somewhat higher than that,but then I was one of the cohort on which the test was validated.

Not that I agree with it mind,my brother was asked to to take the test and he refused on the grounds that it was too ambiguos and leading.

I agree with your brother.

I find these so-called online 'tests' somewhat sinister.
Self-diagnosis has the potential to be quite dangerous.

 

[Ahjno]

I did the test for fun. Ended up with 31 (borderline-ish) ... Mummy was right, I AM special

 

[maddave]

I got 11 on the test..... Does that mean I'm normal???? HEAVEN FORBID !!!

 

[Cyclingrelf]

Well, I got 19 so you're obviously more normal than me

 

[Ahjno]

I got 11 on the test..... Does that mean I'm normal???? HEAVEN FORBID !!!

[maddave]

I'M Melting....I'm MEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllltttttttttttttiiiiiiiiiiiinnnngggggggggg.........

 

[Tadpole]

From now on we'll call you NormalDave

Why would you think that scoring a high mark on that test, a test for Asperger's syndrome, would make the 'mad' part fit in maddaves name? People with AS are not mad

 

[Tengu]

No, mad people are Normal

 

[Bushwhacker]

Anyone who believes the tenuous results from an internet test are mad.

 

[HillBill]

I got 24 on the test. So what does that mean then?

 

[John Fenna]

No, mad people are Normal

Or is it Normal people are mad?
If normal people watch Soap Operas, "I'm a celebrity" and Big Brother...IMHO they are barking!
Let me out there into the wilds with the other Abnormals!


Please!

 

[sapper1]

My kids are autistic and both as mad as a box of frogs,they get it from their father.

 

[drewdunnrespect]

well thank god i am not the only insane one

 

[Toddy]

No, no, no, none of us are insane...............we're just eccentric

It's like folks saying the invention of the wheel was a great turning point in history.......but those of us who understand it properly know that it was really the development of the axle that was the true leap forward.

cheers,
Toddy

 

[drewdunnrespect]

okay fine i accept what you say toddy but if thats the case then and we are all eccentric what the hell is normal

 

[Toddy]

Ah, that's the boring bit in the middle of the bell curve of humanity

cheers,
M

 

[drewdunnrespect]
