My score was 32 -- possible autism spectrum disorder. I've always thought so, too, but no official diagnosis.
Are you surprised because you are autistic? Or you think you are? |

I'm properly diagnosed AS and the process of diagnosing took 2 days plus an interview with someone close to me. So not guesswork. Still I show up as non autistic on the quiz??????

I think that the quiz, while extensive, still doesn't cover all the facets of autism spectrum disorders. I wouldn't worry about it Plus, I'd trust a professional's opinion over the opinion of an objective online test!

38 - autism likely.
Is this the same quiz as the AQ? I've scored anywhere between 28 and 41 on that one and I consider myself mild. __________________ Only you can prevent neurotypical jerkiness!

I got a 29 on the test as well. Somehow, I find myself not believing that.

It is aslo about interpretation of the questions. I find it interesting that people who score high on these tests are not "disabled" like I am. My traits interfere with my life and school. |

I scored a 42. That's pretty much my average score.
Curious to see what questions were answered in what way? https://www.dropbox.com/s/yku91g8scc...pie%20quiz.png Also for the 'Aspie quiz' on rdos.net I score 154/200 Aspie and 32/200 NT. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vytsxeytbwj3rz3/quiz.pdf I've had my results saved for a while, I even printed them out on the first day of seeing my therapist and I commented on each page. Never even showed it to her, but it calmed my nerves until I got there. I feel like a lot of the quiz is still very much aimed toward males and the stereotype of autism. However, even if I try to undermine my symptoms, I still score highly. So there's gotta be some truth to it still. __________________ Autistic, with a side of ADHD and anxiety.

Naw. There's all types. I'm a sociable person, but i'm very bad at social interactions and I get super anxious around people. Thus I try to avoid it because I'd rather avoid a negative feeling, than do something more positive, knowing it'd lead to said negative feelings anyway.. It's difficult for me to explain. I know of many aspies who are extroverted and enjoy people and company. And over time you kinda learn to mask symptoms or work through them. I'm still really young and I haven't had a lot of time to learn to mask a lot of it well enough.

I just answered honestly. I never thought I had anything like this. My neice was recently dx with mild autism. I was talking with my mom about the symptoms that alerted the school to check her, and they are almost all the same things I have always had or done.
The quize kinda floored me because it asked some question that I never would have thought were unusual behaviors, such as the fact I walk on my toes because I can't stand anything touching the soles of my feet with pressure. And even as a baby I physically hurt on my skin with stuff like lace or anything rougher than cotton. Even my own skin to skin contact hurts sometimes if I have too much stress. so yah.. i was just being honest. I have just barely enough social skill to stay employed. Thankfully I work in technology so i don't have to worry about all the social mistakes I used to make when I participated in social junk. lol __________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

I absolutely don't fit into the aspie community. And I don't fit in anywhere at all. I've been on this planet for four decades and I've yet to find someone remotely similar. I mean, it's really fine, I have friends and they share a few traits with me and a lot that are different and we play nice together. But I kind of wished I had realized sooner how I will never have this connection with someone else, like I've seen others claiming they are so similar. But with me, part from actually not being like others, I think it's a result of analysis and detail thinking. Others accept differences in a way I don't, they simply deny them! They just see the world painted by a broad brush, so of course a lot of people "are" like them...
Still, despite differences, I can get this feeling this is someone "sane", someone who would actually understand what I'm saying even if not always agreeing. Which is pretty nice. They seem to have a clear view of what is going on. Some of them just happens to have AS. |

34, after M & F counselor my wife and I have been seeing for a year said that she had realized I had some of the traits of AS. Looked it up, sure it kinda fit... But I've made it 53 years without a diagnosis other than dysthymic tendencies.
