I'm sure I have not only taken that quiz, but taken it multiple times. I have an ASD (originally dx'd PDD-NOS back before the DSM changes), so yeah, autism quizzes were a point of interest back then. I have no clue how accurate the thing is, it's one of those things that you'll find some neurotypicals scoring as probably an aspie and people on the spectrum who might score neurotypical. It's just gonna depend, you know? Regardless, it can be fun to take quizzes like that, I think anyways.

There's definitely some overlap when it comes to things like traits you might find with people who have depression, GAD, and/or an ASD. Depression and GAD are also pretty common comorbids for people dx'd with an ASD. It can get a little tricky to pick that stuff apart sometimes. A good psych professional can help with that.

Anyway, you got my attention with stimming. Heh. I can be a stimmy person myself. I never know about that stuff though. I mean, I wonder if a person who is standing in line, stressed about being late or something, is rocking back and forth on their heels, is it stimming? Ultimately stimming is self soothing usually done without even realizing you are doing it, right? So it seems to me that most people end up being stimmy in different situations, except they might call it fidgeting or letting out nervous energy. To me it's all the same, but of course it would be because I'm autistic and so it's just called that in my world.
