I have 43/50 on the AQ test and 154/200 on the Aspie Quiz. I took a long time answering each question because I was serious about answering the questions honestly. I then took the questions again a few weeks later and amazingly came up with exactly the same scores. So I was convinced re: my self DX.

I conclude that I have been very good at blanking out my autistic childhood and the fact my brother was quite autistic but my parents were consistent they told us we only had discipline issues (very naughty boys). I think the indoctrination worked as we both self censored ourselves (our true selves). All of this would have been left swept under the carpet if not for my daughter's diagnosis.

The last time I took the Aspie Quiz, it was 167/49, but the first time it was 145/60ish.

I don't get the same score every time, but I always score in the range of "possible autism."

I am not sure why I didn't realize a lot of these things about myself were different from other people until it was explicitly pointed out to me - but I have some weird conceptual issues where I don't realize/notice/know things until they are explicitly articulated. Not 100% of the time, but often enough. It can be bad enough that if someone asks me to read an article and pay special attention to one thing, I will only notice the one thing and ignore/forget the rest.

"Your AS score is 72 out of 72. This score means that it is quite likely that you are on the autistic spectrum." I'm not surprised....I score very high as an Aspie. Now if only I could get the shrinks to understand.

arg people should just stop putting stuff in apps.facebook.com. It increases the facebook lock-in and facebook is a very evil company disrespectful of privacy, allied with MS that should not get more users.

I'm glad someone on the planet understands this! I've been around enough to remember when the Internet was an open place, not just walled gardens.

to everyone that doesn't want the results displayed on your Facebook account:

you can allow the test application to access your account, take the test, get your results, and then immediately change your settings to remove the application. the only way someone will see your results is if he/she happens to check your profile within 1-2 minutes after you take the test.

AS Test Score: 69 / 72
Figures. I haven't taken a test yet that says I am NT. But, this one gave me the highest score so far.

Big observation though....

One of the questions asked me if certain letters and numbers had a color. I first noticed this in middle school. My sister has tested me on many times. In high school, I watched a documentary about synesthesia and realized that is what I was experiencing. They said that the one where people see letters and numbers as color is the most common. In college, my sociology teacher was fascinated that I had it. But, I never knew I had a form of Autism at that time. And since I discovered I had Aspergers, this is the first test that asked that I have never read any articles (yet) about the connection. Very interesting and more proof in my mind that I am an Aspie!

70 out of 72. I wonder which ones I got wrong (or right depending on your perspective.)

It's fairly common among autistic people, but I think autism is significantly less common among people who have synaesthesia.

Strange that it was that high. By now I recognize what questions are doing to scores, but I was still brutally honest and disagreed on about 5 traits. I like the correlation to specific criteria, although how it greened areas I answered "sometimes" to is a bit weird.

Ironically I suspect this is an autistic trait that I have as well, to resist self classification in a social context. I never took social priorities seriously throughout my life, therefore if I was mildly autistic I was happy to be in my own world and only deal with the social world on a "needs basis" and with individuals on a "need to know" basis.

This is where the whole functioning label thing is imposed on us by NT society, the AS label is basically a function of how well autistic people (mild or otherwise) fit into the pre-ordained social constraints and norms of society.

I wish I could take the test without adding a facebook app. I basically refuse to add facebook apps.

You don't need to- I haven't.

Do the test, then when it asks if you want to "post to wall", just click "SKIP" instead of "PUBLISH"- then it won't appear on your profile/wall or anywhere else.

70/72

Although this test is interesting, it has numerous flaws.

The scoring weights are odd. Some areas it greened for me that are more appropriately yellowed.

And some of the questions are too specific/exclusive considering the small number of questions. For example I have synesthesia, however not in any of the specific versions mentioned, so it gave me a red in a category that most certainly should have been green.

Yup, lol, the same with me. I wouldn't consider this test really acurate though, it concludes if you have a symptom based on one question.

You do still have to allow it to access your basic information before taking it at all. Though maybe that's not too bad.... Still, I wish it were elsewhere.
