One of those weird moments...

You know those people that are convinced they have every bad medical condition on the planet?

Well, I can be that person sometimes. But this time around, it might actually be serious.

A week or so ago, one of the other writers at The Post did a piece on autism. So one night I was dabbling around on the Internet and came across the Wikipedia page for Asperger syndrome.

Now, there's looking through symptoms of a neurological disorder and going "hmm, I kind of do that, that a bit, too" sort of like when you read a description of your zodiac symbol.

But reading the characteristics of AS was just about like reading a damn autobiography.

Continuing on, I found the page for high-functioning autism, which is basically Asperger's as well. Another autobiography.

This portion stuck out at me:

There is a high correlation between HFA characteristics and those described in the Myers-Briggs INTP profile [1] description. Another theory states that Asperger's correlates to the INTJ personality type, whereas HFA correlates to the INFJ personality type.

I've taken the Myers-Briggs a couple of times in the past. Guess what I am?

Then I found the Austism-Specturm Quotent test, developed by psychologists at Cambridge. This claim is attached:

In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.

I scored a 30.

I don't really consider this creepy, since I don't think of autism as "creepy" I just wonder if there's something to this.
