Autism Spectrum Quotient

Post Reply New Topic

I got 30, and it was a pretty good test though some of the questions I did not have an exact answer for so I had to go with whatever was closest to my response which may have thrown it off a bit.

It's not quite like that. The test says that people on the spectrum GENERALLY score 32 or above. That means the majority do, but not all.

Edit: And there are also people who score above 32 and are not autistic. My Mom is one of them. I think she scored 35 and she is not ASD.

Yeah, I know someone who took the test & is not diagnosed as autistic & scored 36.

35

I got a 39. That's not surprising. The surprising thing is that my attempts to learn to act 'socially correct since I became aware of being Aspie seem to be working. After working for four months as a temp at the local library I've managed to land a staff job as a librarian at the local college. I think I've finally learned the secret of paying attention to people instead of things. It really helped when I came to understand that conversations are not usually about the topic, they are about the people who are talking. It's not just a way to pass data, it's a way to link up with another human being.
