Post Your Autism Score

I got 4. I don't recall having too much of a problem with social situations other than the whole easily exhausted, easily pissed introverted schtick (hella worse when I was a kid) so that comes as no surpise. I've never been officially diagnosed though but one thing this test is telling me is I really don't have to.

17 Autism possible

It's hard for me to objectively say that score is accurate though as I had mixed feelings about some of the questions. Sometimes I wonder if I have mild Autism even though I look back and don't think that was the case pre-high school graduation. I often wonder how much of that is just caused by involuntary social separation / depression / Netflix / the internet.

Does the internet = autism? Sources say "Duh dummy!" :^)

I took a longer one of these when I was 16 or so and got a similar result. My score was mostly bolstered by the fact that I prefer introversion (meaning I'm perfectly capable of functioning in extroverted environments; it's simply a little more taxing). Other than that, I apparently showed none of the symptoms; I love creative writing and expressing myself in figurative language, and am terrible at remembering phone numbers, for example.

Still though, online test and whatnot, so take it with a grain (or a pile) of salt.

It is possible to get a high score on this without actually being autistic. Since it mainly rates how introverted you are and that's only one symptom of autism, not the root of it. Anyone can be a social recluse, neurotypical or not.

This test is meant to be used to help you consider going to a doctor for more analysis, not self-diagnose. So take it with a grain of salt

It is interesting to see that people who are confirmed aspies, do get high scores on this however

I got a 3, does that mean I can be a mod now? I was scared while doing the test cause the only thing that was on my mind was "Goddammit, it's going to be some internet quiz that confirms me as autism."

0. Boy being normal really seems underwhelming when in the presence of so many colorful individuals on this site.

Although i have to admit being falsely diagnosed with Aspergers when i was trying to join the Air Force was both a blow to my ego and an obnoxious roadblock that really made me wary of "professional" opinions when psychcologists are often more than not payed to give their biased opinion over factually constructing a sound opinion.

38 "autism likely"

Well I'm a total spergburger anyway. I was diagnosed when I was young, and yeah I still have trouble with stuff.

EDIT: Just noticed I have the highest score here. I don't know how I should take that.

Well, I'm not austistic. Just a little socially oblivious.

Some of these questions are a little tricky to answer, makes me kind of wish there was an 'Unsure' option. For e.g. I am pretty terrible with 'small talk' as such, but I can talk quite easily with someone about shared interests and such. The last question was an interesting one too, I actually can't stand it sometimes when something I am used to doing is changed. Good to know that's an autistic characteristic I have…. I guess?
