Undiagnosed aspies- how did you come to the conclusion?

lol, that was great.

I get a 27 on the empathy part, straight average if not a little higher than averge, me being a man, but with me, it's sort of like the guy who was talking about averages, and someone debunked him by saying, "If average is all that important, then if you stood with one foot in a block of dry ice and the other in a fire, you'd be comfortable."

I tend to overempathize with people, cry with them very easily, and might qualify as an oversensitive person, too. I mean, I feel bad when fictional charcters get hurt. And yet, I find it very hard to tell when someone's masking emotions or faking a smile, and I can't often figure out why they wouldn't just be truthful. It makes no sense to me how someone can say something they don't mean, for instance. I just don't say the things I man all the time b/c reading from age 3, I've read so much I've become conditioned to just "know" what it proper to say and what would likely cause Lucy to scream "you blockhed" and the speaker to flip over like in Peanuts comics As others have said, I truly feel I'm high functioning, I have a lot of the traits, but just not in great quantity. My stuffed dogs agree that I'm likely an Aspie, too

As for the other, well, I got a 35, but some of the noticing things are cut short becuase of my 20/800 vision, and I would likely be very much more into details of things if I could see them, but I'd say it would be in the 40s at least ont hat one. It's hard to imagine how you could do a control for that test, to determine how a legally blind person might test on it.

I came in at 13 on the EQ, and 58 on the SQ. I like the SQ comment about "almost no women score this high."

My SQ is 48. The typical range for people with AS.
