    I just had my exam results come through by text :eek:

    One pass :j one nearly pass :o

    I can live with that :D

    Come on - you mean "one pass" and "one fail":rotfl:.

    :o:o

    The question is can you live with that?;)

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Tell you a story actually, I of course "knew" that I had Asperger's 27 years before an NHS person diagnosed me - as ever, me just so far in advance of everybody else:o:j:o:rotfl:. Despite that though, I haven't had straight top marks in every subject I've ever done - some I didn't do well in and, at GCSE, I didn't get a Grade C in one of my subjects (languages actually - so, that guy learned a language within a few weeks, not all of us sadly - having said that, part of the course involved oral communication so maybe I got marked down a bit in that - I don't know - wasn't even recognised that I had it way back then but, as far as I recall, I didn't do too badly - a 'formal' setting of a classroom can be different to social conversation, I normally perform better in the former, that said I don't do too badly in the latter, except I don't really know when to butt in and don't have any small talk topics to mention really). Anyway, I first thought I had Asperger's very long ago but almost immediately ruled it out - I thought people had to have 'straight As' (or straight A*s as they would be nowadays) in everything in order to be that. I completely missed that, of course, it's "normal to high intelligence". Thing was I often felt I really put my back out, in order to achieve merely the same grade as everyone else. It felt like that. I'm sure I don't see other people's struggles although to some extent, e.g. certain executive tasks of normal life, it is probably true and I probably am working a bit harder in order to compensate - certain things seem to take me ages that other people are able to do seemingly quickly - maybe there is a very subtle fine motor skill deficit that means people generally are able to do things that seem to take me some time sometimes. I could never know - because, if there is a struggle, if I have been working harder, I've been doing it all my life and don't know what it is without it. Perhaps there is a disability there, that I work harder cognitively in order to compensate for.

    Anyway, enough of me:o:o (and enough from me, as it happens, as I'm away soon), but well done on achieving what you have:T.

    Oh well, hope you get two passes next time:).

    Unless you're going onto Mastermind, in which case hope the others get lower total scores or get the same score as you but have three or more passes if you have two:).
