What is your autism quotient?

Post Reply New Topic

Mine is 38.

I used the Autism Quotient iTunes app on my phone [goto http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/AutismS ... tient.aspx if you want to do this online]

Mine was 29 [repeatedly], apparently this indicates I don't have autism

I think autistic people can learn social communication skills and this may reflect such improvement.

What is the cut off?

---
I found this on the same website
0 - 10 = low
11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23 - 31 = above average
32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum

putting strongly agree to everything gives you a score of 25 ltried it as experiment]

Mine is 36.
I also agree that learning social skills can affect the score since I noticed that some things I would have answered Strongly Agree/Disagree before 6 years in Toastmasters I now answer slightly Agree/Disagree.

On the Aspergers test (http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php) I get
Your Aspie score: 156 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 40 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

So other than confirming what you already know why do such tests matter?

I got 38. I seem slightly more autistic than Aspie.

I didn't think Aspergers as opposed to other forms of autism was characterised by a score. Eg autism came in categories of non verbal, high functioning and Aspergers. How do you differentiate between the latter two? I think it concerns how able someone is to engage in social communication.

Can someone who knows more please explain,

Thanks

I've wondered that myself. Other than identifying specific traits of Aspergers I'm not sure how high functioning autism differs from Aspergers. The only benefit I see in either is that now I have a name for it and a set of typical traits that make me 'normal' within this group. I would like to understand it all much better and will likely make it a focus to learn as much as can be known about it soon.

42

34

46 this time.
I've gotten between 42 and 48.

Kai_Bliss, your score means Life, the Universe, and Everything! (please tell me someone else understands that?)

I'm 43. Just one off from the magic number.

There should be a quiz that's like the AQ test, but has to do with how you act, not how you think. When it comes to how I think, I'm pretty severe, but when it comes to how I act, I try to act normal (although I do stim in public or make weird faces sometimes.)

Mine is 35.

Mines 22, apparently because I have Social Skills I'm average. I've learned it throughout my life, some bits were harder than others.

I got 23
