This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I see why psychology tests are considered quackery so much. Being anti-social, or just not interested in other people's life is not being autistic.

This test is repeatedly asking just two questions:

  1. Do you like numbers, the same way Hollywood likes to paint autistic people.
  2. Do you like talking to other people?

  1. When I was young, I used to enjoy playing games involving pretending with other children.

Well my favourite activity is D&D, so forget the "when I was young" part

I guess children's imaginations are autistic now? Lol.

The exact opposite. Autistic children have difficulty engaging in games with collaborative imagination.

I assumed the opposite. D&D is cooperative imagination, something I would think would be difficult for an autistic individual. If you strongly agreed with that, your score would be lower. The 40 is not the person's score but the number of the question.

That's fair, I don't know why I assumed the opposite, but youre probably correct.
