They tested me and gave a few results so I think you mean this result?

"The Adult Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) = 43 where 30 or higher is clinically significent."

I do not know if that is high? Anyone know?

Even I lost major negative parts that impedes my functioning, I'm still autistic.

I went from a 38 to a 23. :lol:

An entire 15 point difference.
A LOT can happen in 7 years.

Not limited and including gaining sudden insights, getting rid of hidden health problems that caused so much executive dysfunction on the background, more and more self knowledge, the concept of self care and learning what is balance...

It made so many prerequisites filled, made a lot of techniques and skillsets more accessible.

More mature, experienced and functioning, freer and also way less encumbered by stuck to self BS and illness than ever.

Still autistic though. :twisted:

What changed was my mental status (which is much better), my emotional maturity overall and social scope.

My cognitive profile and sensory bits along with the (weirdness levels, whatever that might be) behaviors and inclinations remains the more or less same.

Still not masking. :P Still not 'trying' too hard on social bits. Just a healthier ND.


Also test needs a good update.

I scored 15. That is like the average woman and below the average man. Does that make me an imposter? :?
No, I think there is something wrong with the test.

It doesn't test for several senses other than hearing and sight, most of which focuses on socialization, social preferences and introverted reactions, the cognitive bits are more to do with maths and languages, some bits of special interests and attention, and not much else, then other aspects of repetition is less to do with self regulation and more to do with rigidity...

It really, really needs an update.
