I score 38 / 50

Re: Autism
35, but we already know I have Asperger's as my son was diagnosed with it. Being on the Autism spectrum, it is not surprising to see that figure show up.
For what it's worth, I noticed the similarities in the good developers some ten years back when my wife & I were talking about how couples in the company I worked for tended to be engineer/coder types paired up with teachers, nurses, and child-care workers for wives/girlfriends.

Re: Autism

My wife is a child minder and worked mainly in the caring profession...BTolputt wrote:35, but we already know I have Asperger's as my son was diagnosed with it.
