Autism Quiz on Facebook

Post Reply New Topic

I saw it, I caved and took it simply to see what sort of questions it asked. I scored 41. It did somewhat bother me that it popped up on facebook...the same place you can take a quiz to see what color your "aura" is.

Has anyone else noticed all of the "autism awareness" popping up in the media lately?

I got 37 ...

You score higher if you like math and are good at remembering phone numbers.

I don't think it's any more wrong for it to be on Facebook than on the various websites where you can take the quiz, or a magazine (I think it was published in a magazine).

Only one of my Facebook friends has posted a result.

Me, I didn't. I really don't want to go posting to everyone I know that I'm borderline autistic (31 on that quiz). I'll remain label-less quirky me, unless I have a particular reason to share, and that will be on an individual basis.

It's the same AQ test by Simon Baron Cohen. It's just an app now. Seriously, just chill people.
My mum did it and I actually got to talk to her about autism. And she thinks her ex may have an ASD.

I got 41. First time I took the test I got 60.

I dunno, maybe people taking it can learn more about autism. I posted a very anti- Communication Shutdown note on FB which nobody commented on. Hee hee.

I bet if someone put the Aspie Quiz up there people would think tl;dr.

It has no place on Facebook? It's all around the web. Even women's magazine sites.

I have taken this test quite a few times now and I am surprised how often I score highly on this test. I think the lowest I ever got was 32. I try and be honest as I can with myself and the traits presented in this test and I usually score around the 35-37 mark. I think there maybe something to it because I did have developemental delays with speech, motor skills etc which I needed physiopthreapy and speech threapy for. I would say when I was young I had moderate learning difficulties because I had poor spelling, reading, handwritting etc thankfully because of the help I got it's more mild now.

There is also the fact I often prefer being alone for long periods of time and do most things alone. I only ever had a few friends I often had and continue to have difficulty making new friends and maintaning the friendship no close friends and they often had special needs as well although not always. Even introverts apparently have quite a few friends and close friends they confide in. I do think it's one thing to need time alone (which is common with introverts) and another to actually be a loner and prefer being alone a lot of the time.

I do feel that online tests are not at all the same as actual diagnoses, but I got a 39 on that test. It's the same exact test found on another site, only modified slightly for facebook. All the questions are exactly the same.

I consistently score borderline, between 28 and 30. I don't have any friends that have taken it.

Would NT's take an Autism quiz? Why freak out at your score? You don't have it. FB says a lot of stuff on random quizzes like your Zues, batman, or you will start a new generation with your girlfriend after 2012. I already got a diagnosis and took the Aspie quiz on this site, so I don't need the Autism quiz on FB.
