Yeah, some of it was. I kind of overreacted because it was saying that if you're good at certain things, you must therefore be diagnosed with a problem.
Stupidity on my part because I do exceptionally well on IQ tests and yet don't find that offensive. In actuality, I guess I was just shocked to find out how un-average my mind is and for it to be flagged up as a negative thing. :/
P.S. I posted your story yesterday. It didn't get past moderation, despite people like charli.m posting supportive messages. Least you know it's nothing personal, I suppose, if it didn't get through for me either. Like I said, though, I can be very determined. I'll try again one day. And I'll keep trying. :)
I really wonder what's so "irritating" to Management in that post that they won't admit it. Really, i mean, like, i would like an explanation, just once :)
Well, I think it might have been a problem if they'd let it through for me because then you could validly ask "Why is it okay for dappled to post it but not me?"
I noticed all my other stories that day got approved or denied before your story, then there was a delay (like it was being talked about) and then finally it was denied.
Maybe it's just a point of principle now. If I leave it a few months and try again (when IIN users will have forgotten this), maybe it'll get through.
Do you have a mental disorder/illness?

that test is about memory and patterns?
you should be proud, not disturbed :P
Those same things are tested in many IQ-tests :P
In my eyes, scoring high makes you smart, not autistic -_-
As for mental disorder? I'm sure i have issues if you asked some shrink(or whats the slang word for psychiatrist?), but i'm feeling fine.
I ain't need fixin'.
I'm bent and twisted, not broken. ^_^
