Funny, you don't look neurotypical
For all my "weird" friends, with or without a diagnosis, who suspect that the normal folks have the problem

Oh Magical Godmother you just granted me a fond wish....my six year old grandson was just diagnosed with asperger's syndrome last week...I myself took a short version test, of autistic tendencies and scored high but not autistic. I often worry what his perceptions are, and how much anguish is he truly feeling, you have just provided some comfort and some peace of mind. I had forgotten the rational aspect of the personality that is asperger's.
When I was born in 1940 there was no diagnosis of autism or aspergers. I was identified as "profoundly gifted" but that is not a pathology. I got put in a class for "exceptional" children all of whom were low normal except for me and one boy who was a recent immigrant.
These days, since there is no insurance coverage or entitlements for anything that is not a pathology, there is a lot of misdiagnosis of gifted kids.http://www.sengifted.org/articles_counseling/Webb_MisdiagnosisAndDualDiagnosisOfGiftedChildren.shtml
