Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 96 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 119 of 200
You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traits

What does this mean?

Nothing. That quiz is meaningless, I don't know why people keep linking it. It's a personality quiz made by some random guy who thinks people with autism are part Neanderthal. It isn't even able to screen for autism due to its amount of false positives and false negatives, let alone be used clinically as a diagnostic aid.

A diagnosis won't change anything about you, but it will allow you access to support that could be beneficial, as well as grant you a way in which to understand certain aspects of your life and self.

If you are diagnosed, you may go through a period of adjustment as you work out exactly what a diagnosis means for you but, while this may bring some mixed emotions, this is normal and embracing the experience will help you move through it.

What's partially autistic? Borderline?


Well I was going by it saying you have both AS and NT traits when I said that. But I don't think partially autistic is a term that actually exists. And like everyone is saying, that test doesn't count for much other than maybe giving you a rough understanding of where you might be at.

Also the diagnosis of your assessment, whatever it is, isn't as important as how your life is being impacted by it. The goal is to find out what the problem is so you can find ways to work around it and or compensate for it if you can.

Please keep us updated.

Whatever you're diagnosed with, like the people above are saying, don't allow it to define you. You are more of a person than a diagnosis.

Are baths better than showers?

The same. Showers are better than baths now a days.
