Your too aspie'ish to be considered NT but not aspie'ish enough to be a "true" aspie or something like that.
But yeah.. kind of confusing answer.

Yeah, means you are in between ASD and NT. Some aspie traits but not all of them.
I think this is called PDD-NOS, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified.
I really do not like that term. I call it 'Hybridism' sounds much cooler
PDDNOS also covers moderate,severe or profound autism that is similar to classic/kanners but not enough traits to be diagnosed with it or any other form of autism,so it isn't defaultly a term for AS/NT hybrid,though it does often get used that way.
they stick 'NOS' on alot of conditions [am had 'facial pain NOS' once,after being undiagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia by a doc,as they wrongly said youngens cant get TN,but then had it changed back by a specialist].
Yeah, "NOS" stands for "Not otherwise specified." In other words, "What you have doesn't quite match up with anything in our diagnostic manuals, and we don't know what to call it, but we have to put something in the box labelled "diagnosis" because it's all computerized, and if that field is left blank, there will be an "error".
I have the diagnosis of PDD-NOS because while I fit the criteria for classic my nueropsych examiner felt my verbals skills to high for classic autism and I didn't qualify for AS due to my speach delay so I am inbetween if I talked on time I wouod be AS if I didn't develope high verbal abilities I would be classic.

40 on the Wired test, but they don't specify what that actually means. Is high aspie or NT?
It's an "Aspie Quotient" test, so the score should primarily indicate the degree of 'Aspiness' as opposed to the degree of 'NTness'.From the website:
Quote:
Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.
Therefore; scoring 32 or higher would mean that the score falls within the same range as 80% of those already diagnosed who took the test.Or: a score of 32 or higher is more of an indication of some form of Autism than not and the higher the score, the more certain the indication.
Well, 'certain' in this test's opinion anyway.
Quote:
anyone who doesn't know that gender = sociological and biological = sex can't have made a very proffessional test.
Or it could be that they're just collating demographic information for statistical purposes. If I put a test online I'd be curious to know the male:female ratio and score results too.
In any case - does choosing male or female actually change the questions presented, or alter the scoring method? If not, then that information is purely statistical.
If this test is indeed closely based on one by Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre, then I'd say it's fair to call it "professional". See what you can find online about Simon Baron-Cohen and the Cambridge Autism Research Centre.
Who knows - you may even find some tests which can be downloaded directly from them.
