/* Atheist PZ Myers' blog audience and their reported Asperger's quotient test results */
As PZ himself said: "I took the test and scored a 24, an “average math contest winner.” You need a 32 to suggest Asperger’s, and a 15 is the average. So there. I don’t have Asperger’s, I’m just cruel and insensitive."<ref>[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2014/08/pz-admits-hes-wrong.html PZ admits he's wrong] by Theodore Beale, Friday, August 29, 2014</ref>}}
