Yet another Evaluation
Yep same here. Two different evaluators, one said "trainably mentally challenged" (using more modern terms) and the other said "genius IQ".

Yet another Evaluation
@Mary Terry: I presume the evaluators here are using the Mensa scale, which runs from 50 to 150. 75 is considered the upper cutoff for intellectual impairment, which is probably why @Jenisautistic got slapped with a "borderline intellectual functioning" label. She seems to be able to express...- oregano

Yet another Evaluation
IQ testing is trash, the original idea was to remove undesirables from society using "science". The testing is more subjective than objective, even today. I know that ASD is really hard to diagnose, my own main diagnoses are "depressive type schizoaffective disorder" and OCD not otherwise...- oregano

Mountain Dew may have a lot of sugar/corn syrup, but IMO alcohol is FAR FAR WAY worse, especially with someone who has your history with alcohol. I would rather you drink a liter of Mountain Dew than a bottle of Makers Mark, for sure.- oregano

The first real storm of the season has arrived in Jefferson (far north California). It has been raining here since 6am-it is 11am now. I have the buckets out collecting rainwater from the leak in the roof that is actually a leak in the opening that was originally an RV-style roof vent. That vent...- oregano
