This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The phrasing of the questions is why I don't trust it to diagnose me. I wish I could ask a human being giving the test "what does that mean? Like, I think coincidences are neat, but I don't like have them marked on calendars and stuff."

But then, I do have a notation cheat sheet on my phone that lists the names of every order of magnitude between 10^2 (one hundred) to 10^102 (one trestrigintillion), just so I don't have to do any mental math to figure out what something like 10^12 is in word terms (it's one trillion). I realize that is far from a normal people thing to do, but is it autism, ADD, ADHD, Asperger's? I wish I could afford a real diagnosis so I could find a chemical that would make my brain act normal

10^11 is in word terms (it’s one trillion).

No it's not, it's 100 billion, one trillion is 10^12. These are simple, it's always a multiple of 3, or -3, makes me wonder why you don't care for small numbers.

Anyway I scored 36/50.

A test like that can only be an indication, never a diagnosis.
