Your score was 35 out of a possible 50

I think I could have scored higher if there was more nuance to the test.

I enjoy social chitchat, for example; talking with you guys... but I don't like social situations.

24/50.

I think it pushed me higher up because I love history but prefer to be on my own or only with a small group of friends whenever possible.

Your score was 10 out of a possible 50.

Scores in the 0-25 range indicate few or no Autistic traits.

Only reason it was this high is because I don't like being in social situations only because my job is to interact with people all day.

There's something else though; this is for childhood autism. The symptoms and personality traits of adults are typically very different from children.

Did you get a point for having a vivid imagination? Isn't that an important component of being a functioning child?

Wild imaginations are a signal of Schizopathy, which is often related to the Autism spectrum and can't really be separated until adulthood.

Considering that I'm actually on the spectrum, I agree: This can measure the issue in children, but isn't accurate for adults.

Yeah I see that. Test could definitely be more complex.

I for one was professionally diagnosed with mild autism as a kid, but since then I have overcome parts of this, such as the social aspect. I still prefer to do things by myself but my social skills have leveled up a lot due to life experience and studying social behavior like you might do when studying for an exam.

I just got back from my therapist, (whos also a psychiatrist with a PhD) and she said the test is surprisingly accurate for something found online. She was so pleasantly surprised that she said she may incorporate it into her early screenings of new patients.

She scored a 9. Btw

A therapist wouldn't say that, ever.

"Hey dude, go see if you have autism from this website one of my patient told me about"
Of course not. She said a test doesnt prove anything. A test is merely a screening. It takes a doctors diagnosis to actually say whether or not you have it.

That being said, as someone whos diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, and went to a school for people with learning disabilities, I can say that they absolutely use tests just like this. I took them as a kid. I took one when I began seeing her.

I should also mention that she specializes mostly in children. Im one of her few adult patients.

In my case it might have something to do with tending towards being a nihilist and an introvert with ADHD, so I can see quite a bit of overlap with autistic tendencies.

Your score was 36 out of a possible 50.
Scores in the 33-50 range indicate significant Austistic traits (Autism).

Not sure about some of the questions. For example:
I find it very easy to play games with children that involve pretending.
This seems like a 2 part question.
1) Do you find it easy to play games with children?
2) if yes, do the games involve pretending?
The whole imaginative aspect of it is irrelevant if I couldn't manage the social aspect.

30/50 but that has more to do with me being an introvert most of the time...I think.

I'm pretty strange, and also I'm different since my wife passed as well. I get along with everyone, make friends easily and am an excellent mediator/diplomat, but at the same time I like to do things solo, I don't even play games online with others (even MMO's) I play solo. I can live without human interaction more then any other person I have ever met in fact. I would be a great candidate to do a solo mission to mars for instance.

At the same time I'm imaginative and understand what people are saying, I'm very empathic, both understanding another persons perspective, and being affected by their emotions (and feeling emotions even from things I see on tv etc).

I've always been very good at seeing patterns, anything with numbers and was able to both teach myself to read (in pre-school...at an adult level before elementary), and learn basic algebra and programing skills in early elementary to start coding on Apple IIc's. Meanwhile there are many things that are obvious to other people that I don't see, or understand, and it's always been like that.

I'm absolutely horrible with dates, birthdays especially, and since I was about 40 my memory has started to go big time...I can literally read a book/series and forget it all within 3 months at this point. I used to have almost a perfect memory for things I read though when I was younger, even while reading on average a book a day, I'd rememeber just about everything from a book I read 10 years ago.

I was much more social when younger as well, and in my 20's I had a good group of friends which I would hang out with and spend most of my free time. I only became as isolated/anti-social in the last 10-15 years since my wife got sick and I was stuck home so much. Even WAY back to my 20's though, when I was playing on MUDs, I still prefered playing games solo...the only exception was in my early 20's with the large group of friends (we would play doom for instance or super mario land etc together and it was a blast).

I wouldn't say I'm high on the autism spectrum at all, but there have always been things that made me a bit different then the norm. Much of it could be caused by a combination of my very unusual childhood in combination with a very high IQ and learning rate. I have always wondered what kind of life I would have had if I had started out with any sort of real/normalish family.
