Hi Brooke,

I'm not sure I should have done that test as I scored 35. Hmmm...

Hi:

Recently I've discovered Asperger's Syndrome.  Although I don't meet all the
criteria, I do have a number of the traits.
One is living with clutter (this is different from obsessive hording).  A
common occupation is engineering.
AS people are much more comfortable with things as opposed to people.
People who work in technical fields or have strong interests, like extremely
precise time, may also have this.
To find out you can take an online test at:
http://www.aspergerstestsite.com/

or read the Wiki page at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome

and a movie:
  "Mozart and the Whale" that's about this.

Have Fun,

Brooke Clarke
