That being said I have some reasons to question that autism score.l For one I am extremely empathic, if anything too empathic, I tend to soak up other people's feelings and take too much to heart. I do isolate myself but I always thought that was more down to social anxiety, low self esteem and fear of rejection. So I would take it with a degree of caution. Same with the "Sanity' score - going by that I would have half a dozen different conditions not just anxiety and depression but also bipolar, BPD and even possibly an eating disorder. I think these tests err too much on the side of caution and over diagnose. However it is certainly the case that I am having more difficulty that I have mad for a long time keeping everything together, I have always maintained a very effective false front but right now it is cracking and taking a lot of energy trying to keep going.
