"Am I German or Autistic?" in 15 questions...

https://german.millermanschool.com/

@shlee 60% Autistic (and 38% German, which is precisely my ancestry).
@futzle @shlee 44% German, 36% Autistic. "You are difficult to work with in the ways all serious people are difficult to work with" which is prolly right.
@PaulMcEwan @futzle @shlee I am neither but the quiz had this to say, which is great: "You probably ended up here through social media, which means someone you follow scored either Both or German. They sent it to you as a question or a joke. You are their control group."

@futzle @shlee 24% German and 53% autistic.

I find that funny, given that I _am_, in fact, German (raised in Northern Germany and only moved away when I was almost 30)

@futzle @shlee @messieass

This quiz is fun but the guy who runs the website is weirdly proud of having translated 7 books by leading Russian neo-fascist Aleksandr Dugin.

Aleksandr Dugin - Wikipedia

@chpietsch @futzle @messieass thanks for that.. fark
@shlee @chpietsch @futzle @messieass Can't we have *any* nice things? *sigh* (This complaint is directed at the universe, not at any person in this thread)
@chpietsch @futzle @shlee
Thanks, i wouldn't have noticed.
@futzle
Oh.
"Autistic
No necessarily German about it.
24% German, 62% Autistic"
(Technically I'm 100% German…)
@shlee
@shlee I'm both, apparently.
@neoluddite @shlee This is what I got too. “The category isn't German or autistic — it's people for whom the gap between how things are and how they ought to be is not an abstraction but a constant, low-grade irritation.” Like… yes? But not in a judgey way…

@shlee
I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and scored Neither. I am apparently the control group.

Am I German or Autistic?

A rigorous diagnostic. 15 questions. One uncomfortable truth.

@shlee

"I took the German or Autistic diagnostic. Results: probably autistic. Wittgenstein would have gotten the same result. "

Surprised but not surprised.

@shlee I have been undiagnosed with german (finally, the curse is lifted)
@enby_of_the_apocalypse @shlee more autistic than German which fits how I feel about the German society
@shlee @ein_wesen an asshole i was once forced to spend time around told me that i was extremely stereotypically german. I think he meant distanced, because i was actually extremely annoyed about him and trying really hard to not show it.
@shlee Not unsurprising..
@shlee underperformed the German ancestry actually in my blood, scored 50% for autism, but you know the questions were imprecise and I wonder if that number might not change with a few answers flipped where they were nearly equally valid in my experience.
@c0dec0dec0de
"If I change the conditions, I can optimise the result".
@shlee Can't say I'm surprised tbh. Wish I had taken this YEARS ago
@shlee somewhat (undiagnosed) autistic, and would likely have been more for some close calls between answers.
@trib @shlee autistic (with adhd for additional confusion)

@shlee "I took the German or Autistic diagnostic. Result: Both. The Wittgenstein Result. I don't know whether to be proud or concerned".

Mostly proud

@shlee
I'm not too German, but rather autistic.
Edit: and very wary of the em-dashes.
@shlee haha for years i've been making this joke ("you call it autistic i call it being german") and now here we are
@shlee not to be a party pooper but the writing reads very claude.
@lritter
Down to the last em-dash. (I know, those could be a choice.)
@shlee
@shlee as a German with some autistic tendencies I feel confused and that confusion irritates me :D
@shlee
Congratulations! Decent result!
@shlee
Share on X at the bottom of the page. Maybe they should add the third option to the page. German, Autistic or Nazi.
@shlee @futzle They must formulate autism diagnosis questionnaires differently in Germany
@shlee 16 years in therapy has shifted the needle. My Oma would be proud if she were still here.
@shlee Got both, as expected :3
@wutchilli @shlee Ditto, and also very unsurprised.
@shlee
This "Test" ist maximaler Bullshit.

@shlee ugh, where's the "none of these answers accurately match me" option?

Probably filed under "autistic ", huh?

@shlee Control group, apparently. Feel like a bit of a failure really.
@shlee This seems accurate. Fun quiz 😂
@shlee given my mother is of German descent, I found this funny.
@shlee I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and I'm apparently just German. Kant would approve.
@shlee 20% German, 76% autistic. If I didn't know how "birthright" citizenship for German works, I'd be studying law books now.
@shlee Hmm, only 49% German but 33% Autistic? Need to do some genetic checks...

@shlee TIL that my nationality is considered a diagnosis.

That's both confusing and disturbing 🤔
