I said it. He said, " HMMMMMMM has a lot of 'm's!) > > You two are wild. > So, which questions creamed you? There were so many....the ones that spring to memory immediately: I hate meeting new people. I hate social situations. I hear small noises that nobody else is bothered by. I obsessively collect information. I have no idea what other people's intentions are (I remember saying to marc once, when someone kept calling me all friendly-like, " what does she WANT from me? " I also have had several male 'friends' in my life who shocked and hurt me deeply by trying to ram their tongues down my throat -- I NEVER, NEVER knew that was underlying the 'friendship'). I can remember any telephone number given to me anytime anywhere. I would rather be alone that with other people. I prefer things to people (I based that answer on that I would rather shelve the books at the library than talk to the other library employees). I prefer a library to a party. The list goes on, of course, but I can't remember it all! Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 > > I got a 10; what did you all get? > > Salli Sorry to say...I got a 27. But you know, I think we all have to remember...our lives are seriously not normal. We might score differently if we were in a more sane situation...or not. I remember one time I took a " Do you have ADHD? " test online, and scored 14...just a few points off falling into the ADHD range. I mentioned it to the psychologist, and she said, " Raena, considering the craziness your life, OF COURSE you're going to score high...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Yup, that's me. Except for the numbers thing, being dyslexic, I can't keep numbers straight. Tuna P.S.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 > I got a 29. What does it mean? > It means that you have more autistic traits than the control group's average of 18 (I think?) but fewer traits than 80 percent of autistic individuals and family members of people with autism. Our scores on this list SHOULD be high-ish. So actually yours is low! But not as low as mine. Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 > Tuna > P.S. Jacquie, are you a librarian? No, but I wish I were. :-) I've volunteered at the library for two years -- it's one of the best things in my life. Although I'm " only " a volunteer, I am the keeper of the children's room -- I do everything there except order the books. I shelve, organize, re-organize, put up seasonal and holiday displays of books, as well as thematic displays depending on what teachers are assigning for research projects. Over the past two years it has become MY domain, and now nobody does those jobs but me. Makes me feel really proud and fulfilled. I generally spend 4-6 hours a week at it. Sometimes comes with me, but mostly I do it on my own time while he's in school. Next semester I'll be enrolling in the online course my librarian counselled me to take that will lead to a diploma for " Library Technician " . She told me to do this about 6 months into my volunteering when, although still new to the Dewey Decimal system, I brought her book and said, " I know the label says to file it at xxx.nfd, but I just CAN'T. I'm sure it's wrong. " And it WAS. Sorry to go on so long. It's just that the library is the most precious thing in my life aside from my family, and some days ABOVE my family, since it's all MINE!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Just a volunteer? No such thing. Every good library runs on dedicated volunteers like you. I'm a volunteer now too, in the same library where I was librarian for 10 years. I quit to do the SAHM thing and I now volunteer in acquisitions and deletions and also as a fundraiser. The library is, and always will be, my second home. Tuna --- The Hunny Family wrote: I've volunteered at the library for two years -- it's one of the best things in my life.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Tuna, how I envy you for being a librarian!!! If I could, I would go to university and get the Library Sciences degree...but at least the college diploma will help me get a job in a few years!
