Greetings,

A. Quantive abnormalities in reciprocal social interaction: cut off 10, my score 20.

B. Quantive abnormalities in communication: cut off 8, my score 12.

C. Restricted, repetitive behaviors and stereotype d patterns: curt off 3, my score 4.

D. Quantitative abnormality of development evident before 36 months: cut off 1, my score 1.

I'm just curious where my scores suggest I am on the spectrum. I was diagnosed with ASD last year so it's still all rather new to me.

Thanks. :D

Did they include the "severity levels" in your assessment?
The DSM-V uses this system, which was recently discussed a bit here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=354946

There are two categories: "Social Communication" & "Restricted, Repetitive Behaviors" and 3 levels;

Level 1 "Requiring support"
Level 2 "Requiring substantial support"
Level 3 "Requiring very substantial support"

So it could be any combination 1,1 to 3,3 depending on your assessment at the time.
