What is your score on this test, and are you diagnosed?

210, undiagnosed.

Total Score - 200.0
Language - 19.0
Social relatedness - 104.0
Sensory/motor - 44.0
Circumscribed interests - 33.0

I am (provisionally) diagnosed with Asperger's. I get a full diagnosis on the 26th of June.
Surprised I scored this high on all the areas.

164, diagnosed. I never know how to answer the social questions because I have so little desire to socialize. If I were interested in dating or making more friends or appearing "normal," I'd have a lot of trouble, but what little interaction I have usually goes well. *shrug*

Edit: I took it again to see how much my score would change if I answered those social questions going by what I thought the answers might be if I decided I wanted a normative social life and got 181. *shrugs again*

I'm undiagnosed. I've taken this test twice now, and my average scores are:

Total: 126
Language: 6
Social Relatedness: 68.5
Sensory/Motor: 32.5
Circumscribed Interests: 19

I scored much lower this second time than the first time, and I recall that the first time I was under a lot of stress, which caused me to question some of my lifelong "different" reactions to stress (mainly a few meltdowns at various times in my life) and led me to wonder if I had Aspergers. That was the reason I took the test the first time. My total then was 138. This time it was 114.

Total score: 177.0
Language: 14.0
Social relatedness: 100.0
Sensory/motor: 31.0
Circumscribed interests: 32.0

Diagnosed Asperger.

I find it hard to answer questions in regard to how people perceive me.
That was also a big issue in diagnosis filling out test-papers and
i always wrote at the side of the paper next to the answering options that I cannot answer this question as I do not know how people perceive me and the persons testing me said that they would not know if they can evaluate my results as I did not answer the questions, but they soon realized that this inability to answer questions about how people perceive me was because of autism.

The first time I took the test I went through the questions fairly quickly. I scored 193.

Yet, I wasn?t really comfortable with some of the questions. So, I went through the questions a second time, more deliberately. Then, I realized that I had no clue how to answer a number of the questions. Sometimes the questions were ambiguous. Sometimes the answers were too limiting (e.g. ?sometimes? or ?mostly? was a better answer than ?never? or ?always). Some examples:

I have a hard time figuring out what some phrases mean, like "You are the apple of my eye".
Well, it is confusing the first time I hear phrases like this. And, maybe the second time. So, you ask someone to translate. Eventually, you learn what they mean . It?s really no different than studying vocabulary in school.

I would rather go out to eat in a restaurant by myself than with someone I know.
Well, I suppose it depends upon with who. I can think of some people I know that this would be true. And others that it would be false.

It is difficult for me to understand how other people are feeling when we are talking.
Well, I generally don?t try to understand how others are feeling when I talk to them. Is that because I have a hard time doing it? Or because I simply don?t pay attention? I have no clue.

I cannot tell when someone is flirting with me.
Well, I don?t remember a time in my life that someone has flirted with me. So, if no one has ever flirted with me, how would I know?

How to make friends and socialize is a mystery to me.
I have read a lot about the ?how?. I am just not good at it.

I could go on and on and on.

Currently undiagnosed but going through the beginning process at my school, my parents have a meeting with the SENCO on Thursday.

That question really annoys me.

I do not like going to restaurants, period. So I suppose my answer is that I would rather go "with someone I know", because someone suggesting that we go get something to eat is the only time I would ever set foot in a restaurant at all.

My guess is that the question is asking whether I'd enjoy going to restaurants to be convivial or not. The answer to that is definitely "no". But the way the question is asked, the answer I have to choose would indicate the opposite.

I suppose it might be a useful question if food were someone's special interest, but otherwise, restaurants are a rather complex issue (there's also all the sounds and smells and other people, possible difficulties with having to choose something from a menu, etc.), so I'm not sure the question is helpful at all.

I was diagnosed with AS a few months ago.

The threshold values were taken from the original research. There appear to be a few possible explanations for the discrepancy in the results on Aspie Tests. The most obvious is that only people who are interested in ASDs or suspect they may have an ASD are likely to use the site. This skews the results towards the ASD end. This test was designed to be taken with the assistance of someone trained in administering the test. They would help explain exactly what each question means. Apparently people who take the test by themselves tend to score higher.

Results like this are one of the reasons why I set up the Aspie Tests website. It is interesting to see how the results from the website vary from the original results.

I keep all of the raw scores in a database which is made available to researchers. I have passed the raw test data on to the authors of the RAADS-R but I don't know if they have done much with it.

Well, that makes sense. For me, a careful read of each question yields an "It Depends" or "Uncertain" response on easily > 50% of the questions.

Diagnosed last year, but I've had it my whole life:

Total: 129.0

Language: 9.0
Social relatedness: 80.0
Sensory/motor: 17.0
Circumscribed interests: 23.0

This test is a lot more useful than the others that I've seen because of its delineation. I've never had that much trouble with feeling/touching/textures, but I have a huge problem with social skills and a moderate problem with routines, and that has skewed the scores of other tests.
My score is at least -1 standard deviation from the norm of those who have been diagnosed, and yet anyone who gets to know me (not that there have been many) can tell that there's something clearly off about my behavior.

Diagnosed a few years ago but questioning it.

Some of those questions. Does ANYONE feel comfortable dating?

"I have never been interested in what most of the people I know consider interesting."
Well technically, most of the people I know are theatre people and theatre is my thing.

And I got:
Total:136.0
Language: 9.0
Social Relatedness: 60.0
Sensory/Motor: 46.0
Circumscribed Interests: 21.0

And according to that graph, 136 is pretty much on the intersection between ASD and Neurotypical.

Total Score: 93.0 Language: 13.0 Social relatedness: 72.0 Sensory/motor: 4.0 Circumscribed interests: 4.0

I am undiagnosed

It says the average score of females with suspected ASD is 149.9...... so my score of 93 is good right?
