There are lots of factors that affect how a person would answer each question on the test...that's why ASDs are typically diagnosed prior to age 3. i scored a 30 and do not have an ASD but my daughter has autism. i've wondered at times if maybe i have autism characteristics but i also was severely abused as a child and so i think a lot of my responses could be affected by that. It's an interesting test.
i agree, if it bothers you, check it out further. i'm a little skeptical of later life diagnoses though i do know how easily Asperger's and "higher functioning" autism can be missed.
Best wishes as you seek self-information.
