This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A test like that can only ever be a first indication. If you score high on this, it doesn't mean you're autistic. It just means you might want to talk to a mental health professional.

Sadly humans always want to boil things down to simple metrics (or maybe we just like numbers... wait a minute!) and people can't be bothered to do the hard part after getting the number. The classic example is IQ tests, which just measure how good you are at that particular quiz (despite certain people obsessing over them like the number is your IRL intelligence stat).
