Is my wife a super NT, autistic, or is it something else?

Post Reply New Topic

I took the autism test and tested 34 out if 50; very likely an aspie. My wife tested 7. That score is so low, it's like super normal. Or is it? Does anyone know someone that tested that low?

Sometimes I wonder if she's autistic; she can be extremely logical, although extremely emotional at the same time. She's pretty OCD about organization and stuff (never dx'd). And I think she'd make an amazing lawyer because you cannot win an argument with her, period.

We both took the test where it shows your traits as a diagram that looks like a deformed cookie. Mine was mostly to the right, and hers was almost completely opposite of mine, we could make a complete circle out of it if we put our results together.

I keep thinking about that 7 score. Any thoughts?

wel it seems like you found your other half in her

My wife has never met anyone like her before, until now. She could have written your post word for word. Your mechanisms and opinions are identical.

I know quite a lot of people who I would say are like me. They have a similar need to have honest, romantic closeness to others (I don't mean sex although thats also extremely important to me), and they do things their own way. I'm quite sociable and have a lot of proper friends, many of whom would seem to have strong autistic traits (research scientists).

I guess I've spent time looking for and finding them. Getting involved in a lot of things to find interesting people and sub-cultures. Its no dress-rehearsal,is it?, You got to find people to love and hang out with them Loving lovely people makes me happy.

I think its a geographical, cultural, and environmental thing. There are plenty of posters on here who would tell you NTs are defined by their thinking. Thats not my experience. Many posters really sound like they have never met a decent, honest, sane, fair, loving, smart NT. They define NTs as all the traits they don't like in humans, and all the traits that have given them a sh***y deal. Personally I think they have just met too many sh***y human beings. And the dominant culture in most places is defined by the sh***y human beings.

I read posts and I wish I could pluck some folk out away from the sh***y NTs they meet and take them to meet lovely people who they might love.

That...can't be right.

LOL. That just makes no sense, Most of those questions apply to normal human traits, 7 would be like...my mind is blown.

I got a 33 and I think most NT women score around 20-25.

To have such a low score, I really don't understand. Does your wife have any other kind of diagnosis or learning disability.

I knew someone with bipolar I and ADHD who scored very low.

Seen others do it as well. I don't think it's really all that far out.

I never had the diagram you're talking about OP, that sounds like the Aspie test but that's longer than 50 questions. The test I took with 50 questions was AQ.
