I'm not ignoring you

I've never made a secret of the matter that I am autistic. Resultantly, I am adversely affected by changes in my environment. Specifically, I haven't been productive or posting because the boy has been out of school for the Easter break. I've written several drafts while he's been here but nothing has pulled together with any cohesion. Mike returns to school tomorrow and I expect my productivity to return soon after. I guess I should have said something sooner but I'm always so sure that this time, I'll be able to beat it and do things differently. I'm a little embarrassed about it. In exchange for my candor, I'd appreciate your compassion and patience.

I finally got around to taking the autisim test and I scored 32 and Jess scored almost the same at 34. I don't know how acurate the test is.

(Josh is referring to the "Autism Quotient Test", aka "AQ Test". You can test your autism quotient at http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html)

Josh, if anything, it underscores I think because it doesn't quiz people on any of the technical/spatial aptitude stuff. I hope you're okay with your results but I can't say that I'm surprised. I think your mother has/had elements of this as well, judging from what you've said of her. I scored 43.
