Something else interesting for old versus new. I took the 50 question test to determine AQ ("on the spectrum" rating from 1 - 50) twice. Once is how I am today with some learned behaviors for social situations and I got a 30 which is the high end of the "normal" range. I took it a second time answering like I would have in 1980, right before an older woman where I worked took it upon herself to educate me in many different ways including social graces. My 1980 self scored a 35.

EDIT - and in case you are wondering, the t had a field day with questions about the older woman. My teenage years had not been sex and drugs and rock 'n roll; just drugs and rock 'n roll. She fixed that, but also taught me how to be in a relationship. The years that followed would likely have been very different without that experience. So I do get why the t asked a lot about it.
