By answering all the questions different to how I usually behave I just
scored 2, the only two I scored on was the one about being a diplomat (I
think that's only because I've no idea what a diplomat does anyway so I
don't know!) and the spontaneously one - when I'm going to town at home my
mum hates that because I'll just suddenly decide I'm going to town (although
it's not very spontaneous I suppose because I say I'm going to town then
about an hour later I'm still going through checking I've got everything I
need!)

My mate told me a joke this week that I didn't quite understand until he
explained it to me a bit better. I wonder how many Aspergers on this list
would not understand this joke without proper explanation:-

He said to me
"Jigsaws are dangerous. I bought my 2 year old brother one for Christmas
last year and the next day he'd cut all his fingers off".

Think about giving a 2 year old a B&Q (DIY store) Jig Saw - the cutting
machine not the puzzle type!

I have a problem with this. Not the joke - but the assertion that it would be difficult for AS types. My understanding is that there is a tendency to take...
