89, I guess that's the higher end of mild. I did it from memories as a kid.

I had to guess a lot on the questions, because I didn't have temper tantrums- I just shut down completely most of the time.


I wish I was you. I had tantrums up the wall as a kid. I have shutdown before too though, that's what I used to describe as "brain goes bye bye"

A lot of you seem to be basing the answers on when you were a kid. Some of the questions are more geared toward kids, but I based it largely on my current age. If I out grew something, I would just say so (although I never outgrew anything...)

This was interesting, 159 "severe", but only just.

100 - Mild

Of course, I had to kinda guess how I looked from the outside, and I have very few memories of anything prior to about 10 years old - certainly nothing approaching a comprehensive view of what I was like. I have a feeling that I would have scored much higher if this test had been filled out by my mom when I was, say, 5.

I kind of wish I had more tantrums as a kid myself, actually. My family does not tend to take my anger seriously (most them think I'm kidding every single time I get mad since I have such a reputation for "not being able to get angry") these days.

But, about the test, took it again in adult-perspective- 131* this time, which is still moderate. Then again, I can't really remember a lot about my past other than the fact that I had an overactive daydreaming power back then, and also the fact that I tore labels off of everything (poor family- they always had mystery-in-a-can for supper). Still kind of do that now, actually.

* bolded because I rant beyond that point

127, Moderate PDD. It's honestly a little surprising because I rated as "Mild" in many categories and consider myself to be relatively mild.

I got 40 but some questions were difficult to answer because I can't remember my early years very well. Apart from drawing buses at 3, but then who didn't

Many of the traits seem to be superficial observations.


That's because it's designed to be filled out by parents, they likely don't even imagine we'd be filling these out on ourselves. :?

I first did my symptoms that I'm currently having and entered my age in as 25. I got moderate PDD. Score 128.

Then I decided to put my age in as 8 and chose the symptoms that best fit my behaviour back then. Score 165, severe PDD. Although I couldn't really answer the speaking type of questions because I barely spoke. I wasn't completely non-verbal.
So with the changes I get 185. Hmm...

Why would you answer as a child? Seems to completely void the Resolved option.

Oh, that's right!

There should be a tool like this for autistic adults, but then I guess the AQ and Aspie Quiz (as flawed as both are) kind of fill this role.

Because it's made for children. Because I like to see the differences in my symptoms between when I was a child and an adult.
Or maybe because I just wanted to.
