the AQ test

I mentioned taking the AQ test before, and I thought, hey, why not share a link to it? So, if you’re interested in taking the test to see how messed up your own head is, click here and check it out. One hilarious statement it asks you to agree or disagree with? “I would rather [ READ MORE ]

aspie or not: daria

I don’t know how many people still remember Daria, or how many people genuinely enjoyed the show. A talk with my good friend Mari, however, reminded me of how much I loved it, and how much the show resonated with me and others like me. Mari and I then got on the subject of Daria [ READ MORE ]

I would take anything she, or anyone else, said at face value, no matter how absurd. Eventually, rather than accept statements blindly, I made sure to ask, “Really?” first. Usually I was rewarded [ READ MORE ]
