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.

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

Sometimes, I think NTs and even autistics get autistic traits confused with "normal" traits. Sorry, I have no idea how to explain that better.

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.

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 don't feel like I belong in the local and online autism communities, even though I was diagnosed with Asperger's.

It's no surprise, since I have never felt like I belonged anywhere.

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.
