That line is brilliant. I've been chuckling about it all night. I don't like watching television, but now I'm gonna have to check out that show.

Just to be clear, that line goes:

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested

Sheldon is definitely autistic

One of my teachers asked me if I watched the show. I do. She told me I reminded her of Sheldon. I was like.. I don't know how to take that.

DANG it. Miss Kay's version of the line was much funnier. Okay, I guess I don't have to start watching TV after all.

Well, you know - autism is considered a significant impairment. I don't think it's socially acceptable to make jokes about people with specific disorders. After all, BBT is not South Park

Dammit. My SQ is low as well. There is also eye reading test 30/36. So autistic are supposed to have extreme male brain. I found female / male brain test. According to BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/ ... user.shtml I have female brain. Extremely solitary lesbian trapped inside male body and is comfortable with his dick? Oh well...

I took this. I was at 0. Equally between male and female. It did say I found feminine men more attractive, which I absolutely know.

I took it too. I scored 50 in the "male" part. No surprise here either.
