26. Didn't answer the odd question here and there 'cause I didn't know what answer to give.

I ended up getting 37. That started the whole research trip on spectrum stuff. Now I'm trying to sort out a formal dx!
Oh well....

I took this a few days ago, and, after spending a long time debating the most accurate answer for some of the questions, got a score of 32.

Found the test after a friend suggested looking into AS and got a 48.

I got a 49 on the test.

I don't know the scale they are using, so I couldn't begin to know what a '49' means.

I got a 40 the first time I took the test. If I take it again then I get 42-44 but my answers are tainted by more awareness of WWAD - What would Aspie Do. So I think 40 is the most honest answer.

Read the whole wired article for more background:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_Spectrum_Quotient

The first time I took the test I spent a lot of time thinking about the difference between "definitely" and "slightly" but they are scored exactly the same.

Given that I consider myself more NT than AS, a few AS traits maybe, but it's really my husband and son who ARE AS, I'd say it confirmed that perception. I scored 13. But, obviously, I'm very comfortable with the AS way of looking at the world, or I wouldn't find myself coming here so much, now would I?

Got 34 first time
37 second time (though it was a different test at first so did it again by accident)
Did it again after seeing this forum, answered best I could [remember] and got 41!! !
