I started taking the Autism spectrum survey before realizing you were supposed to be diagnosed with it to take it.
Should I worry that I related to way to much of what was asked?
:tinfoil:
No. More people than you would think fall on the spectrum somewhere. And, most everyone will present with at least a few of the "symptoms" or characteristics. Plus, Autistic people are pretty cool. So, you shouldn't worry at all. You're in good company.:)

Most everyone presents with characteristics of every mental disorder that has been defined. That's one of the reasons it's dangerous and silly to self diagnose based on internet articles instead of seeking a professional. I'm looking at you faux legion of trypophobes and internet ocd.

I admit that I can get pretty irritated sometimes when people joke about having OCD because of their little quirks.

Edited for typo.

So what you're saying is that the Buzzfeed quiz I took lied to me when it said that I was a giant fireball breathing turtle?

Pretty much everything you have ever read on buzzfeed was hyperbolic bullshit.

Tfw all the jokes you ever wrote don't even matter anymore because somewhere along the way you became a one-trick pony and you don't have enough courage to change that.

Embrace your niche!

That's what I was saying.:) If you read long enough, you'll have everything. Plus, if you do have some sort of mental disability, you'll be doing your research from a skewed perspective anyway. That's "crazy.":p

Buzzfeed actually has a surprisingly decent investigative reporting division behind the fluff. More accurately, the use all the bullshit fluff you'd normally associate with Buzzfeed to fund their serious journalism.

Disregarding it's definition, I love the word "Hyperbolic."
