I took it just now and scored 37. That seems consistent with my other online test results.

My problem with tests is that halfway through the test my brain goes into this hyperanalytic mode where I'm like, "Is this the answer that is true about myself or is it the answer that is true to some subconscious desire to score a certain way?" Because I know the typical behavioral traits of ASD and especially Asperger's, and I know exactly how each answer I put will affect my score, and I do think I am on the spectrum, but I also know I'm very high-functioning. So I'm always questioning the validity of my results.

I used to go over the test results with my mother (my dad won't talk about it which is fine I guess). Initially when I was exploring it originally my mother seemed receptive but now any time I bring up ASD she's like, "Do you want to be professionally tested?" And I kind of don't, partly because I'm afraid it'll come back normal and my entire existence here will frame me as a poser, partly because I'm afraid it'll come back as on the spectrum and they'll put me on drugs that I don't want to take, partly because psych and neurological testing are expensive.
