I think the AQ is the best test to use. I think the Aspie quiz may be playing lawyer with their conclusions and putting a large group in the "possibly" space. I don't have a diagnosis other than my (diagnosed) daughter's therapist (specializing in ASD) saying not only am I likely ASD but also more so than my daughter. She said this to my daughter and wife but not to me directly :roll:. I happy that my daughter is more borderline NT than me. I wouldn't want it to be the other way :(. When I took the online tests (results below), I tried hard to avoid confirmation bias by answering any uncertain questions with an NT favorable result.

Here's mine:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 150 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 61 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)
