"The Geek Syndrome"

Wired has an article on their site about a surge in incidence of Autism and Asperger's Syndrome in Silicon Valley Children. As a technogeek and former Special Educator, the story is an interesting read.
Of additional interest is the Autism Spectrum Quotient, which is "a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults". I took the test and scored 15... below the average and well below the score that indicates a potential problem. Thank god. ADD is enough, thank you!

How did YOU score?
