I don't know about most NT women but you're right about me - my score is 23.

The Baron Cohen AQ test in that link, the 50 questions, the average for NT women is 16, and for men 17

I took the autism test and tested 34 out if 50; very likely an aspie. My wife tested 7. That score is so low, it's like super normal. Or is it? Does anyone know someone that tested that low?

Sometimes I wonder if she's autistic; she can be extremely logical, although extremely emotional at the same time. She's pretty OCD about organization and stuff (never dx'd). And I think she'd make an amazing lawyer because you cannot win an argument with her, period.

We both took the test where it shows your traits as a diagram that looks like a deformed cookie. Mine was mostly to the right, and hers was almost completely opposite of mine, we could make a complete circle out of it if we put our results together.

I keep thinking about that 7 score. Any thoughts?


Can u link to this test with a diagram? I've never seen this diagram.

Is it the diagram that looks a bit like a spider's web?
