The Disorders and Character Flaws Thread

Sure, why not? .
Not everyone is autistic.
But still, that score is pretty low I must say.
I thought average was between 12 and 17 or something like that.

And this test is only for asperger's syndrome. Not for autism in general.

Looks like I'm almost the opposite of a person with Aspergers. I do know several people with it, though. I think based on that alone, I could tell I didn't have Aspergers - I'm really nothing like them at all.

Not really sure what that means but I guess I'm unlikely to have aspergers, right?

I never score highly in tests like that, despite being an avid mathematician. Logic is my life atm :P


As for other flaws/disorders, reading threads like this always makes me feel astonishingly normal. I went through a bout of isolation and a small amount of depression shortly after my 16th birthday that lasted for about 6 months, but I never had to take anything for it, and I was able to kick myself out of it, so it can't have been anywhere near severe. Apart from that, it's been plain sailing really, though I have a schizophrenic cousin, another cousin who is anorexic, and my sister was on drugs for depression for a while, plus a family very much prone to addictions and problems of various sorts. Sometimes I feel like it's only a matter of time before something crops up :P

Regarding online psych tests... they tend to be pretty flawed: I just did one that told me that I'm narcissistic and schizotypal, because I'm confident in myself and I have insanely crazy thoughts and conversations every now and then, and I have an appreciation for the strange.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder - individual is uncomfortable in close relationships, has thought or perceptual distortions, and peculiarities of behavior. - is definitely not me, I love close relationships, and have heart-to-hearts with a number of people all the time. perceptual distortions is a little exaggerated: whenever someone says something that has an alternate meaning of any sort, my brain always constructs a humourous scenario around that alternate meaning, and yeah, I'm a little weird, but that's just me being a little different :P

Narcissistic Personality Disorder - individual has a grandiose view of themselves, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy that begins by early adulthood and is present in various situations. These individuals are very demanding in their relationships. - lol. I'll just say no to that.

Some of them sounded like me, but it sort of overlaps with being an HSP. That, and ADHD is somewhat similar.

Anyone here have a physical deformity? I myself have very limited movement in my wrists. Can't bend them upward ( as if saying HALT ) and I can't bend them sideways very far. It doesn't hurt when I try, they just can't bend that way.
