44/50
- When I was young, I used to enjoy playing games involving pretending with other children.
Well my favourite activity is D&D, so forget the “when I was young” part
I assumed the opposite. D&D is cooperative imagination, something I would think would be difficult for an autistic individual. If you strongly agreed with that, your score would be lower. The 40 is not the person’s score but the number of the question.
I see why psychology tests are considered quackery so much. Being anti-social, or just not interested in other people’s life is not being autistic.
This test is repeatedly asking just two questions:
- Do you like numbers, the same way Hollywood likes to paint autistic people.
- Do you like talking to other people?
Man. I am weird af but not enough to have been diagnosed with adhd (score “great” on those tests though 🤡). However it seems i am not autistic at all (13/50). I apreciate you guys though, makes life more interesting.
I am fascinated by dates.
Dates are a very fascinating fruit indeed.
34/50 oh well, moving on
The phrasing of the questions is why I don’t trust it to diagnose me. I wish I could ask a human being giving the test “what does that mean? Like, I think coincidences are neat, but I don’t like have them marked on calendars and stuff.”
But then, I do have a notation cheat sheet on my phone that lists the names of every order of magnitude between 10^2 (one hundred) to 10^102 (one trestrigintillion), just so I don’t have to do any mental math to figure out what something like 10^12 is in word terms (it’s one trillion). I realize that is far from a normal people thing to do, but is it autism, ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s? I wish I could afford a real diagnosis so I could find a chemical that would make my brain act normal
32/50. I’ve undergone an official diagnosis test and it came back negative. Don’t put too much stock in this online quiz - it’s not a substitute for real doctors.
32 does not fall into the range of significant autistic traits.
33 to 50 is the autistic traits range.
So this test came out accurately for you. Same as your official diagnosis test.
