1) Is your head circumference at least 1 standard deviation higher than predicted from your IQ (controlling for age, ethnicity and sex)?
2) Is your normalized lifetime household income more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your IQ?(controlling for age, ethnicity and sex)
3) Is your physical coordination more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your IQ?(controlling for age, ethnicity and sex)
4) Is your Picture Arrangement score more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your overall IQ?
5) Is your Comprehension score more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your overall IQ?
If you correctly answered yes to at least 3 of the 5 questions, then in my humble opinion, you might have autism.
Pumpkin Person 
1) 0 SD
2) 0.5 SD
3) 0 SD
4) Score 11/12 (91%) Duration 13m:58s
5) Score 5/13 (38%) Duration 14m:05s
The 11/12 is not valid because you took the PA test a while back. Still your score has jumped more than 2 SD which suggests either HUGE practice effects or extreme instability
It was picture completion not picture arrangement and I only did it once in 2016 on wais 4, All further testing did not have that subtest because they are selective in what they give you from psychologist to psychologist. Yes, I was highly unstable. I almost fainted and that is why I got 130 on figure weights when it should have been 135. I was 135 on the Stroop task in 2009.
I feel that I was in zombie mode my whole adult existence. I was a zombie from 2007 to 2009 in the group home. I was in my apartment alone for two years 2010 to 2012. Emotionally numb. From 2012 to 2014 I was a janitor. My mom probably has an IQ of 80. She never talks to me about anything. All she does is watch old TV shows. She never played with us. She just stares at you blankly.
Mugabe mentioned catatonia.
That is what I have.
Shutting down because things are just too emotionally painful.
Not being able to think because there is no stimulation.
And burnout.
That’s not autism that’s trauma and atrophy.
No I’m talking about when I emailed you this test in early June 2022.
The WAIS-IV doesn’t have this subtest You must have also taken a version on the WAIS-III or some version of the WISC
>I emailed you this test in early June 2022.
no pp you gave me the social judgment test, not the picture arangement test. If you emailed me then I never received it.
who else did you send it to?
>You must have also taken a version on the WAIS-III
2009
No you did both my Social Judgement and my Picture Arrangement test.
I emailed my Picture Arrangement to you on June 1, 2022 and you replied with your score on June 2, 2022.
Search your emails for the subject heading “test link” to see our exchange.
What was his original score on the picture arrangement? I bet it was zero.
He actually did better than one of the other people you consider autistic and did okay compared to the average American, but did poorly for someone with a 123 IQ so I would consider his score the first time to be evidence of autism. But he’s very inconsistent. I wonder if he has multiple personality disorder caused by extreme abuse.
Also maybe the first 3 responses from anime are false. Anime is much poorer than his IQ. His physical co-ordination is basically non-existent.
Were you good at sports Anime in school? Particularly sports involving technical coordination like soccer or tennis?
tennis, squash, ping pong require coordination.
Soccer not so much.
Yes his lifetime of no income for someone with such a high IQ indicates autism.
No idea how coordinated he is.
The strongest evidence against him having autism is his small head. People with autism usually have big heads because their brains don’t prune the least efficient neurons during late childhood and adolescence.
Hahaha youre an idiot. You’ve obviously never played soccer.
I played soccer all summer when I was 12 or so. All you do is run and kick the ball.
So if the ball is coming at you from the air you don’t think you need to coordinate to chest it down or trap the ball or volley the ball. What you are saying is nonsense.
I don’t watch professional soccer so can’t comment on what it’s like at high levels, but the average non-professional soccer player just has to run fast and kick hard.
I remember RR argued weight lifting requires coordination. Do you think that too?
There is no evidence people with autism have big heads.
The most salient physical features of autism are 1 leg shorter than the other and that stupid square haircut they all have.
yeah they do
I agree with RR half way. Things like squats and deadlifts and some other lifts need it. But mostly anyone should be able to do basic weight training.
Puppy seriously, i think you also have a significant verbal-quant gap…did you even listen to that video. He’s talking about synapses inside the brain. Not the size of the head. How the hell did you get that inference??
Just the way you theorise and handle concepts and ideas sometimes is so, frankly, well beneath your stated 135IQ.
LOL!
I showed that video to give you explanation.
But simple proof that autistics have bigger heads on average is here:
https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/autisms-relationship-to-head-size-explained/
So I’ve decided Santo doesn’t have autism based on his antisemitism alone.
Autistic people cannot be racists or antisemites. Autists don’t feel hate in their hearts. They’re not tribal. They don’t have a functioning amygdala basically.
The problem lies on your decision. It’s not on you and not in my control. But i partially agree with you, i cannot be fully diagnosed with autism even thought i really have features that resemble it. That’s the problem. I will have to appeal in my next consultation.
Anyway, there are a disproportion rates of asperger males on far right the same way there are among far left. It may correlates with some autistic traits like black and white thinking tendency. But what primarily move people ideological and politically is their subjectivity i like to call “existential perspectives”: the sum of their personalities, intelligence levels, including their philosophical understanding and or rational development, phenotypes and their life experiences…
Many asperger males feel negatively affected by left stuff like feminism specially on mate market. Many them believes in the past they had a better chance to get married or find an opposite sex partner because marriage was mostly compulsory. But of course there is a garden variety of discontents of current new order, rightfully so.
PP should post that asperger questionnaire famous in the earlier 2010 i did some times and scored in the middle path between Asperger and Neurotypicity… And compared the results.
Name 5 autistic traits you have.
Autists hate women….well duh. They see them as irrational and obviously can’t understand why they aren’t attracted to autists who follow all the rules and have great incomes. They literally can’t conceive of a criminal with no income being great with women.
But if you are talking about guttural hatred of a person because of their race or their religion or their tribe…basically that can’t happen with an autist because its not ‘rational’.
I dont hate women… feel more attracted to male =/= hating women. Those who really hate women are often mysogynic heterossexual males. They treat women as absolutely inferior, a natural slave.
You are overgeneralizing this stuff. Avg women, social and emotional, tend to see avg autistic men as unemotional and anti social, but there are exceptions. Generally, avg women avoid autistic men the same way they avoid mentally disabled men.
The idea that autists are totally lacking of instincts is incorrect. Lots of autists on any ideological group are as tribal as any non-autists.
I dont hate jews just because they are jews, but because many them, not all, are extremely dishonest in intelectual and moral ways, the same way i’m at least cautious with other human groups like leftists and conservatives.
Getting a new fridge from my landlord today. Yay.
Actually the first question on my autism questionnaire:
Are you a racist? Are you danish aware?
If you answer yes, drop the pen and paper as you dont need to do the rest of the test because you obviously are a normally functioning human.
Actually it would be interesting to see if people on the schiz or the ADHD background are more racist than the normal person, controlling for education.
I would guess yes. Look at Kanye.
Anyways if they found a way to ‘cure’ autism it would defeat the purpose of its evolution (i.e. serve Master)
On the other hand, curing schiz is a win win. Although some people say schiz developed in humans for evolutionary reasons too but frankly, I just don’t see why it would be useful to be impaired like that.
I have implored my mother for years to take medication just to ease her own suffering and she is totally against it. Theres zero benefit to her being like that.
For both diseases, it’s only the mild or borderline cases that might have evolutionary benefits. Sometimes even a harmful trait will evolve simply because it’s genetically linked to a milder form that is useful.
There is basically no benefit to schiz that I can see. But the genes for it might be linked to some sort of personality advantage. Certainly people with schiz do better with the opposite sex in terms of having sex.
Schiz is far older than autism among human beings.
As far as I know, apes don’t have schiz however.
Maybe, of the authors of imprinted genes/brain theory wrote an interesting text about what he called “psychotic savantism”.
Jews have higher rates of people diagnosed with schizophrenia if compared with gentiles. Seems schizophrenia displays an excess of traits expressions that can be good in balanced expression like paranoia and imagination out of control, like an enhanced theory of mind, but the only way to know it should be comparing blood relatives of esquizofrenic people. A very large study in Iceland found a positive and indirect correlation between being a relative of schizophrenic and socially succesful.
“One of”
He nas a page on psychology today. Just search for imprinted brain theory on google and may you can find it.
What we do or invent is part of evolution too.
Have you done a blogpost on this comprehension test?
In hindsight I tended to answer what I wanted the correct answers to be instead of guessing what your intended answers were. Answering incorrectly while signaling virtue doesn’t seem very autistic though.
Quibbles/spoilers:
[redacted by pp, 2023-08-25]
1) Is your head circumference at least 1 standard deviation higher than predicted from your IQ (controlling for age, ethnicity and sex)?
No, assuming I’ve correctly self-assessed my IQ as approximately 140.
2) Is your normalized lifetime household income more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your IQ?(controlling for age, ethnicity and sex)
Yes, by a long, long shot.
3) Is your physical coordination more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your IQ?(controlling for age, ethnicity and sex)
No, my physical coordination is very good.
4) Is your Picture Arrangement score more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your overall IQ?
9/12. I don’t know what the standard deviation and mean are.
5) Is your Comprehension score more than 1 standard deviation lower than predicted from your overall IQ?
7/12. I don’t know what the standard deviation and mean are.
so if your IQ is +2.66 SD, your expected head circumference is +0.23(2.66) = +0.61 SD. If it’s more than 1 SD above that it would be +1.61 SD
My head circumference is 23 inches.
Essentially, it’s big but not that big for a 6-foot, 200-pound white guy with a high IQ. I order large-size hats.
This song is extremely addictive
I got this one stuck in my head for a pretty long time. Liberals absolutely make way better music than conservatives.

There seems to be facial characteristics associated with autism similar to how other disorders, such as down syndrome, have shared facial traits. Some that I’ve noticed are deep sunk eyes, flat noses, big wide foreheads, and thick eyebrows.
Besides that, could you check out this subreddit, r/lowIQpeople, and give your analysis of it. I think it’s very interesting to read these peoples experiences and struggles. Also I sent you an email; I don’t know how often you check that thing. Finally, have you seen this video before?

Ppl, please stop overusing the word autism. Not everything indicates the presence of autism. People can be on the autistic spectrum too without being considered autistic. Being on the spectrum is not the same as being autistic.
Side note: I think people on the spectrum could also have the physical characteristics you mentioned. I have three out of four u mentioned. I have mild aspergers.
Seems inquestionable a relative overlapping between autists and non-autistic nerds, including similarities on physical traits. Just look at the incidence of autism among progeny of engineers, scientists… i Just dont know if the “risk’ is higher if the father is on STEM stuff, the mother or both. I know schizophrenia inheritability increase if both parents are diagnosed with it.
Being smart on STEM require recruiting way more neurons to concentrate in non-social stuff and it may cause autism in some cases.
Interestingly, adhd has been associated with enhanced divergent thinking.
I think most of mental disorders provide some possible advantage but in “homeopathic doses”.
About people who are more prone not to fall on current wokedaneism, there are, primarily, two mostly types:
– far right, by (perceived) subjective or personal reasons.
– such rare breed who develop his rational or reasoning skills at the highest levels.
Still about autism, i’ve saw a study showing “neurotypical” atheists are more likely to have higher expression of autistic traits than other groups by religious or irreligious affiliation while jews scored the opposite…
Ashkenazi jews have higher incidence of autism??
Well, i believe they compared avg jewy.
Avg jew is more like mediterranean europeans or middle eastern in some aspects of personality. But there are many atheists who are also the opposite of typical autistic portrait.
The song is gorgeous…one of those rarities – at least for me – that requires but a single listen to become hooked.
1) I have no Idea. My head circumference is 23.5 inches, and my IQ is probably lower than Aeoli’s, so maybe.
2) Maybe? I don’t know my IQ, so I don’t know my predicted income. At my peak, I was making around 70-80k. However, I make about 60k now and have a much larger ceiling. I could easily make above 6 figures within the next 5 years. Especially with the company I’m working for now on my resume.
3) No, I’m actually athletically gifted.
4) 10/12
5) 6/12, but I didn’t take the bonus questions, and it was obviously very dumb and subjective. So, I don’t take the results actually to mean anything.
1. I have a relatively big forehead. It counts??
I think i’m mesocephalic. Autists tend to be more brachycephalic??
Actually i was born with lower weight but not too much.
2. I dont know my (g/eneral) IQ.
3. My overall physical cordination is not terrible but it’s not great either. I used to play peteka when i was younger, in my teen years, and i was very good on it, at least with people i played.
4 and 5. I dont know.

Particularly subjective questions…
I expected objective text-based questions.
Yes comprehension is perhaps the most subjective of all the cognitive tests.
1) iirc, I wore a size 7 1/2 hat when I played varsity baseball, which equates to 23.5 inches around.
2) I got into a really good grad school, so I’ll probably out-earn my IQ-expected income.
3) I’m pretty athletic, so I’d imagine I’m more coordinated than average. I’m a TERRIBLE dancer and soccer player though. Much better at things involving hand-eye coordination.
4) 11/12. Really enjoyed this one.
5) 8/12. Lost 2 points on the house questions.
Officially diagnosed with autism here (I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome back when that was a separate category). I decided to post my stats because I thoroughly enjoyed these tests and want to encourage more of these sorts of posts.
1) According to these norms for head circumference (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1793909/) and the correlation between head circumference and IQ posted on this blog, my head circumference is about 2SD (standard deviations) above the average for my sex, height, and race. This is likely quite a bit more than one SD larger than my IQ would predict. According to this study (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006322313003892), this isn’t good: “Whereas larger HC than expected was associated with ASD symptom severity and regression, IQ decreased with the absolute value of the genetic deviation of HC.”
2) Almost certainly, and when you factor in my concomitant high conscientiousness, I definitely believe my autism has had a very large negative impact on my general life outcomes.
3) Yes, I am very uncoordinated; I was especially so as a child. I still have some issues with basic motor functions like tying knots and was poor at sports in school that required coordination, etc. I believe the dyspraxia generally associated with autism is good evidence of the generally maladaptive nature of even very high-functioning autism.
4) My score on the picture arrangement test was 8/12, which I suspect is 1SD below my IQ, although I don’t know the precise norms for this test.
5) I got a perfect score of 12/12 on this test. I imagine my high verbal IQ compensates for my autism to some extent when it comes to such tests. I can intellectually understand subtle social norms, but I have issues instinctively acting on this knowledge as neurotypicals do.
