This test was a little odd though. Some of the questions were irrelevent. What does getting bitten by dogs have to do with Asperger's?

Because dogs are anti-Aspites?? <shrugs>

34, although like many others I wasn't impressed by this questionnaire because it could point to many other disorders, not just AS.

So can every, or almost every, online behavioral questionaire I have seen. This guy was simply acknowledging it openly.

39

However,

1. Some wuestions were odd like the one about having been bitten by dogs and the incomprehensible "one sided eating habits"

2. Other questions too specific as is "diagnosed" personlly I lack funds for official dx and so answered in negative a few things that are otherwise true about me

3. What' this of AS extending to IQ 70? If that is the case, what does differentiate AS from any other ASD?

4. What are underlying basal assumptions off this test?

ASD is a continuum. There is a positive correlation between higher function and IQ. The more high functioning the individual, the higher the IQ. Consequently, a majority of persons with Kanner's syndrome are also intellectually disabled.

LOL! I think that's an Aspie trait there.

I scored 37.

I got 16, though didn't check ones I didn't understand. Like the "dog bites" one. Yes, I've been bitten by dogs, but I assume that means frequently? Most dogs like me, and even come up to me ignoring other people (same with wolves apparently too).
