It uses British vernacular, so when reading (for example) "car number plate", they mean "license plate".

Your Score: Maybe
Result: 41. Your score isn't an achievement, it just is.

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. You scored 32 or above. Do with that what you will.

4. I'm a "maybe" too...

My score is a 32. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I'm an Aspie. My brother has 3 kids on the spectrum.

6. Interesting test

I don't meet the criteria according to it, not that I expected to. I am just a shy person (or social phobic or something like that)- on the personality tests I am usually classified as introverted. People fall on a spectrum and our society is very difficult for those who are labeled "different" in any way.

8. I got a 32

But I've always felt a bit socially retarded in many respects. I never thought it would be autistic though. Very interesting...

[BarenakedLady]

9. 23

That is because of my social anxiety though.

Interesting.

[Deja Q]

12. My social anxiety (whose core source is Asperger's Syndrome) is what kept my # so low.

No doubt, had I been in a different sort of sheltered environment, my # would be higher because I could not answer "definitely asgree" to the questions pertaining to how anxious I feel in new situations. That or I misread the context, but I'm good at misreading those too... :D

I've always been socially awkward - you can tell by looking at the date I joined DU & my post count.

17. I scored a 20

But some of the questions bothered me, as they seemed to be asking if you were introverted or extroverted. Introversion is not a disorder.

having conducted samples, i find the 'strongly, slightly, slightly, strongly' template able to generate skip-data for individuals for whom questions, situations, observations, etc, may be in a state of equilibrium instead :hi:

29. 22. I've often wondered if I was a tiny bit Aspie.

I have a slight tendency toward OCD and tend to kind of, erm, "mentalize" emotions.

[TrogL]

30. 39 - I've already been diagnosed

[supernova]

31. Scored a 16

I'm a loner rather than an aspie.

I am OK with social situations now and can enjoy socializing in the right moments. I used to be socially anxious but I took group therapy for a year and a half. Now I can say I am mostly impatient with busy social situations, rather than afraid of them, if I'm just not in the mood to socialize. When I feel like that, I still fear that I come off as aloof or distant, or unapproachable when I really don't mean to be. :-(

Numbers, I understand, but I don't really have a "thing" about memorizing them or repeating them. I am good about remembering a phone number, address and the like for a little while if there's no way to write it down at the time. That skill comes in handy. :-)

I find that if I'm very settled and quiet and just observing, that a person's body language and facial expressions almost SHOUT at me, regardless of the words coming out of their mouth. That's kinda interesting.

However I do have a very vivid imagination and I find it very easy to lose all track of time -- and I mean hours! -- if I'm really into working on something. Maybe I'm just passionate! :-) :D

Interesting test. Thanks HT! :hi:

35. I'm a maybe at 33.

That just corroborates that I'm a dork, which is something I have always been aware of.
