I bolded the ones I got more than "low" on.

As with the depression test I just took, this one assumes that if you answer "yes" to a question, then you must be answering that way because of a limited number of "conditions" that the test is trying to detect. That's irritating.

Don't know what to make of this really. Have been diagnosed as Avoidant PD, and couldn't get more Avoidant if I tried, so fair enough on that one. Also have Borderline PD dx, which is only moderate on here, and I disagree with too. I'm not remotely Dependant. Doesn't Antisocial mean I'm likely to embark on a murder spree? And I've no idea what Schizotypal means.

I suspect this is a load of bunkum.

It is possible that two conditions with almost the same external phenotype (autism and schizophrenia) could be the opposite one of the other? Yes, it is.

It is probable? No.

I had a little theory that Schizophrenia is actually adult onset Autism, it's just that since they've had a relatively social and empathetic mind their whole life, they enter a psychotic state when this is cut off from them.

People have psychotic symptoms when under extreme duress, and the instant onset of Autism would be quite distressing for a normal person, just as it'd be quite distressing for a person with Autism suddenly turning normal. The person with Schizophrenia never grew up with and subsequently adapted to the ASD. Enter the positive symptoms.

It jives with how the negative symptoms of Schizophrenia are so close to the symptoms of Autism (both can vary in severity).

Probably wrong, but you heard it here first.

So yeah I don't know that is the most accurate quiz.....I feel the only reason it says I am moderately narcisstic is because I answered yes to people thinking I am self centered, stubborn and come off as cold/distant. That does not reflect how I actually feel inside though, the others I can see but still they need to add more questions and more specific questions.

I have both schizophrenia and Asperger's. I don't know how accurate the theory posted here is.

Empathy, hyperfunctional?

Quote:

For example, Borderline patients scored higher than healthy controls on some standard tests of social-emotional abilities, such as Baron-Cohen’s “Reading the mind in the eyes” test of mentalizing and the Happé test for inferring thoughts, feelings and intentions of others in social situations.
[....]
Moreover, among normal females ‘hyper-empathizing’ has been positively associated with measures of psychosis, suggesting that an ‘extreme female brain’ can be characterized by positive psychotic-affective traits such as paranoia and mania

I believe that the extreme female brain is borderline.
But that the "extreme female brain" also needs a trauma or something else to get problems with the amygdala and to develope borderline personality disorder.

"Do you agree that autism is extreme male brain and schizophrenia is extreme female brain?"

I'm female and have aspegers syndrome...
