So, your original comment sounded very relatable and I never heard about an AQ test before. Just took one and got 34. Well...

(For the unfamiliar: 34 out of 50, over 32 means you should probably go and get a real diagnosis.)

Just got a 30, which apparently is in the 26-32 range for Asperger's. My wife keeps telling me she thinks I have it, looks like she might be right, lol.
