I got a 16something aspie score. Some of the questions were vague. Some of the questions I answered based on what I assumed they were asking ("rocking back and forth"? No but I do spin. 2!") Some of the questions I answered 2 because I used to do those things but don't anymore. But, to sum up, I'm very much aspie (that's not news) and a little bit physical.

Hello everyone:

Here is a score from an NT perspective.

Your Aspie score: 68 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 167 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

Unfortunately, I am new to the forums so I cannot post my chart but it is basically all to the NT side and spreads to talent and compulsion on the aspie side

I'm waiting for my aspie friend to finish hers and I think I will be more interested in the question results then the score or chart.

Hmm, interesting validation kind of angle - so here are four scores from NT family members.
No charts, unfortunately - but they were all over on the left-hand side of the chart and of course flagged as "You are very likely neurotypical".

Nephew #1:
Aspie 58/200
NT 165/200

Nephew #2:
Aspie 26/200
NT 176/200

Older sister:
Aspie 26/200
NT 175/200

Younger sister:
Aspie 51/200
NT 151/200

That is indeed interesting, thanks for sharing it. I have trouble imagining answering a lot of the questions substantively differently and wonder what it would be like to spend a day inside a particularly NT mind. Would I recover from such an experience?

This was (almost) the subject of another thread and most people posting to it said that they'd like to try it.
I said I'd wait until the film is released so I could view it from the safety of my own head, for the reasons you're implying.
If experiencing life through NT eyes turned out to be a paradise of social interactions and understanding then there could be no coming back from it. Who would want to - or could even survive - willingly leaving that behind?

Well, there is that. As I stated in my very first introductory message to these forums a couple of weeks ago, if the intellectual advantages of AS are the price of improved social competence, I am not interested in the transaction.

Can't we just breed out NTs and make AS the biological norm? Imagine a world full of brutally honest, intellectual, hard-working people! Society would collapse! :)

Wow, it's really like the exact opposite of my score.

I don't know any NTs who are VERY NT, who would take this test. I tried giving it to my mom but her results were "inconclusive." She is introverted, always a big reader and would rather spend time alone than with others. She is not Aspie, but not very NT. My dad refuses to even discuss AS because he probably has a mild version himself and OCPD. He doesn't wanna admit it.

All of my friends are kind of half NT/half Aspie. I wonder what their scores would be.

Unfortunately, I closed the window and lost some of the information, and I'm not taking that test again. I think my Aspie score was 116, and it said I'm very likely neurotypical. Go figure. I don't trust these tests, though. There's a kind of honor system in self assessment, and since we're often our worst critics, it's hard to be sure your answers are completely honest when the questions require that you admit your faults.

I got 148/200 as an aspie score and 51/200 on NT (I am diagnosed with AS).

I don't know why the picture doesn't work, but it showed that I'm more NT than aspie on "hunting". What does that mean?

I scored 105 in the aspie category and then 100 in the neurotypical category. It said that I had both neurotypical and aspie traits.

I kind of wonder what percentage of the users here actually have some form of autism? Considering that some recent news article off the internet said that they numbered 1 out of 110 individuals, and I'd imagine at least 4 out of every 110 people would be psycho-hypochondriac + introspective + socially awkward like myself, and so it would seem that there'd be a fairly large percentage of this forums' users who are actually fairly neurotypical. If that's so, then judging from the given score distribution present here, I'd guess that an autism score of "140" or "150" would being the threshold for having a 50-80% chance of be professionally diagnosed as such, and a score more like mine would probably have a 5-10% chance of being aspergers... maybe.

It's all speculation at this point. The reliability of this test is unknown, and it's doubtful it's too high. I think my previous score on this test about 3 months ago was like 150 neurotypical and 50 autistic, but I think my mind's belief in my likelihood of possessing some ASD disorder influences my answers because I have knowledge of autistic-esque traits, and so I'm thinking my higher AS score could just indicate I'm feeling a little more autistic lately. :)
