The quiz doesn't measure high functioning vs. low functioning.

But is it severe AS or mild or what?

It isn't meant to be an actual diagnostic tool, so I can't really say. But I would say that an Aspie with their NT score close to their AS score would have milder AS, and someone with a very low NT score and very high AS score would have more severe AS (more traits). You seem to be somewhere in the middle.

This quiz is not a diagnostic tool. It doesn't measure objective severity and it's not endorsed by any formal diagnostic procedures.

High verses low function is often done off IQ although some people argue that it describes severity of multifaceted difficulties.

For example, there is no mention of rigidity in your diagram.

These are the severity ratings from the DSM 5. Unfortuantely with only 6 categories for the whole ASD spectrum it doesn't differentiate too much where the old AS diagnosis would have been.

The DSM does say that the current presentation of symptoms "might fall below level". This is to account for historical symptoms.

This is the current ASD severity rating. It is possible to be below level 1 and still have ASD. I am not sure about the specifics of how this work but it is in the full text. Possibly for those who met criteria by history and don't now.

Alright, I guess from the DSM V papers level 1 kindof sounds like me

Just to let everyone know - I edit my post because I couldn't find the exact quote in my pictures and worried I might have misremembered.

I removed the paraphrasing about below level 1. I then found sentence I wanted and provided quotation.

It doesn't meant anything. They're just numbers.
