Wireless

When I was young, I was the kind of little boy that teachers used to swap stories about in the staff room. In other words, I never was the model kind of student. I was always the one who did odd things, who didn't quite play the game, who was called weird and other names which only the perplexed would use.

One day, I became the colleague of some of these teachers. And not a few of them expressed peculiar and mixed sentiments about my choice of profession. One revealed, through a third party, that I had driven her to smoking. One swore I had been born with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A couple of very senior and respected teachers nodded knowingly and uttered sentiments along the lines of set a thief to catch a thief. I have always been interested in students who were 'like me'. I've always felt they must be getting just as bad a deal.

And so, I take tests like the Wired Autism-Spectrum Quotient Test. I shall post results when I can summon the attention span to do so.

They lied to me. I am not autistic. I only got 29/50 and that isn't enough. Bah. Haha!
