NT's how much do you score
my friend took the test too here's her score:
# Repetitive or restricted Behaviours and Interests (RBI) - Stereotyped, repetitive behaviours and interests
# Social Impairment (SI) - Social understanding
# Language problems (L) - Speech, words and sentences
# Planning, Organization and Concentration problems (POC) - Cognitive skills related to being able to plan, organise and stay focused
# Imaging and Recall problems (IR) - Visualisation, imagination and remembering past events
# Reasoning and Problem solving problems (RP) - Cognitive skills related to rational deduction and working things out
# Sensory problems (S) - Impact of senses
# Motor problems (M) - Control of own movement
RBI =1.75
SI=0.5
L=1.25
POC=0.75
IR=1.75
RP=1
S=1
M=0
I should probably mention that if I had taken this test 10 years ago, the motor score would be higher (not like it isn't already). Like social skills, my motor skills have gotten better in the past 10 years too.

Unsure if NT or not:
# Repetitive or restricted Behaviours and Interests (RBI) - Stereotyped, repetitive behaviours and interests
# Social Impairment (SI) - Social understanding
# Language problems (L) - Speech, words and sentences
# Planning, Organization and Concentration problems (POC) - Cognitive skills related to being able to plan, organise and stay focused
# Imaging and Recall problems (IR) - Visualisation, imagination and remembering past events
# Reasoning and Problem solving problems (RP) - Cognitive skills related to rational deduction and working things out
# Sensory problems (S) - Impact of senses
# Motor problems (M) - Control of own movement
RBI =8.5
SI=7.25
L=5
POC=7.75
IR=2
RP=4
S=5.5
M=3.25
Second time I took it with near identical results to the first time.
I think the M category may be inaccurate. I couldn't tie my shoes until age 9 or ride a bike until age 11, and still can't catch. I often look down when I walk, partially to avoid tripping over things, and my gait is considered awkward.
I recently took the AQ test again and this time got a 37. Depending on how low or high I manage to skew the answers(the questions are loaded), I can get it to range from 28 to 40 while keeping things honest. Yet, my third order theory of mind, on paper at least, seems to be working well(I remember a time when it wasn't there. Normally people develop it around age 11, but after examining some of my own memories and events I probably developed it around age 14. That's a story for another topic. I'm still prone to faux pas and not being able to place myself in other's shoes even when I try, but I can detect faux pas if I think about it.). I just don't understand body language very well and find it difficult to read eyes in person and am uncomfortable looking people in the eye. It seems safe to say that I meet the threshold DSM-IV criteria for Aspergers, but that alone doesn't equate to a diagnosis or mindblindedness that is associated with it. Are you still mindblind to a degree if you can figure out the thoughts of others by using logical reasoning, instead of instinctively empathizing?
