I have to say Wow also -- I scored 38. I was long ago diagnosed with something called Avoidant Personality Disorder, which in recent years I've been told is considered to be on the low end of the spectrum that contains Asperger's and autism. No wonder I'm weird!! The fear of people is a serious and life-screwing problem, but I have to admit that I make my living working with language and computers, both things that require working with complex patterns. I guess if I can make a living with it, it can't be all bad -- LOL!

I was zero too, I have been working with autistic kids for nine years, I didn't know if some was rubbing off, it feels that way...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
