I'm too lazy to take the test again. But wanted to note that in general as a person ages its likely their aspie score would go down. The rate of decline is likely slow though in my case I scored 187 7 months ago and 187 a month ago.
I'm curious why you say that. Have there been studies? The thing is that my score must have gone down because, in retrospect, I appeared far more autistic as far as attitude and actions, and AS was obviously clearer because I spent more time on interests that I was more obsessed with, etc... I always figured that was because of need, experience and something(probably tied to puberty) that happened around 8-9. Several autistics on ASD(BOTH SEXES) noticed the same odd phenomenon! I guess Autism changes around 8-9 and it is just a matter of degree, etc... Of course, after that I was STILL different, and STILL had AS symptoms, but they weren't quite as distinct.
