Just 1. Not gonna lie though, some of the mental stuff sounded cool. Wish I could have a mental image strong enough to have memories on filing cards. When i close my eyes to visualize something, I see... nothing.

A summarized version of all CE replies, really.

i cant answer like half of these because how i feel about the first part of a question will run completely counter to how i feel about the latter part of it

it'll be something like "i have never ____" in the first part, and if it ended there my answer would be true now and when i was young.

but then the latter half of the question will be "and that makes me feel ____" which is a "never"

If you don't a certain way then the answer is "never". The reason often matters, like for sometimes questions that may be autism vs simply introverted.

I got a 73 right now. If I had taken this 6 years ago, around the time of my divorce, I know it would have been well over 100. I have kinda rewired my brain, but there are a few questions in there about basically acting or pretending to be normal - yep.

I really hope people don't use these kinda online tests as an actual diagnosis for being autistic.

You may have a different condition called aphantasia.

Most people can train to learn memory techniques. Can you imagine the filing system of your computer or organization of your house? If so, you can organize your memories.

Will do later

Same, but I would hope it would get people to ask a therapist for proper screening.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do. Someone made a topic about it and I had the same reaction that they did "People are actually seeing images in their mind!? I thought it was just a metaphor!" Pretty crazy to me

Nope. I see nothing. And as said above, I only recently learned that people "imagining an image" wasn't just a metaphor.

A lot of the things I imagine could be indications are things I know are because of ADHD.

Not really a people person. My sense of empathy towards people is almost nonexistent due to various issues I dont want to discuss. Im also incredibly individualistic.

Why not? You must have something with a score like that.

Not necessarily. The results listing even states that its a likeliness, but it doesnt say downright yes autism, nor is the test meant to diagnose.

I understand what other people are feeling, I generally understand how I make others feel, I'm just socially awkward and dislike social situations outside of my comfort zones.
I've always gotten along well with autistic people/aspies I know, but there's been a big difference in socialization between me and them. I've never had that feeling of "I don't understand what emotions someone else is feeling," I'm just anti-social.

Not this one but I've taken another and my score was pretty bad. Over the last two years I've started to realize that I possibly have autism due to having a lot of the symptoms and mannerisms. I've also had two doctors (not my doctors) I know say something to me about it.

Edit: Took this one anyways.

Could be just anti-socialness. But I have (had?) autism and I am pretty good at empathy. Lack of cognitive empathy, while a very common issue for people on the spectrum, isn't a requirement.

Not saying you are wrong at all; I was just questioning your reasoning as that is a very high score.

I think the points I got come from the fact that I don't love group social functions, lol.
