NT parents-have you ever taken the Aspie quiz?

Post Reply New Topic

Since autistic traits run in families I think it would be interesting for NT parents to take the Aspie quiz and see their results.

I just took it and I am apparently exactly half NT and half Aspie, which is really funny to me. (Then again, I think "having an unusual sense of humor" was one of my Aspie traits, so maybe this isn't funny to anyone else.)

I bet my parents would get the same results you got because they both also have traits.

i think i took it, it kind of looks liek a spider web sort of thing right?
i scored high in some areas but within a normal range for others.
i know i have a few issues but who doesn't.
i think i hav eto worry more about my attention span than anythng else.

I only realised I'm on the spectrum until recently when everthing clicked into place. I did the Aspie quize and scored 147 which explains a lot! My son has severe autism, and my ex husband, dad and uncle are all very likely on the spectrum.

I'm not a parent (my half-sister has AS, so I guess that counts), but I took the test and got something like 127. It was in the "you are very likely...." range, whatever it was.

I don't trust these sorts of things at all.

Yes, I've done it a couple of times - different versions.

I scored as having both Aspie and NT traits, with my Aspie score being about 30 points higher than my NT score.

From what I've seen here, and on other fora, it seems to be pretty accurate, tbh.

I took it and I had my husband take it. (I was wondering if my son got his autism from my husband) I scored very high in social and verbal so I tested NT. My husband tested very likely aspergers as I suspected.

I took one a few years ago and the Wired AQ test linked here recently and I always score pretty solidly NT. But I do think I have a decent number of potentially AS traits. Hence, a person can't really score "0."

Still, I'm really comfortable in the AS world. I was thinking about that this morning, about why. Perhaps because my dad was likely AS, and also because as a child in the gifted program I spent a lot of time with kids who might have been diagnosed AS if they had done it in those days. My group of friends in High School - late seventies - was totally into Dungeons and Dragons. But they never did talk me into playing with them, and I still hate trying to play complex games like that. Fun is supposed to be, well, FUN, not a memorization exercise. And my memory STINKS, lol. ANYWAY, we're pretty sure my husband is AS, and I married someone I knew and understood - and still understand. It's probably NT men that I'm not capable of "getting."

i took it a few years ago....i didn't have many AS traits- hubby had TONS of traits....son had TONS of traits

I scored 156 very likely aspie. 56 NT. I would never seek out a a diagnosis.

: ) Some questions were difficult to answer because it would depend.

With our son, it's pretty obvious that he got half his Aspie traits from me (OCD, introverted, dyslexic, hyperactive) and some from my husband (ADD, obsessive interests). Neither of us fully qualifies as AS, but put the two of us together, and apparently you get an AS child.

I've taken a couple. I seem to fall in the very likely Aspie range too, but also am not interested in seeking diagnosis. My take is that I'm lucky to have a lot of AS traits, because it helps me relate to my sons better. My DH also has many traits, but fell just shy in the tests.

I hadn't heard of this before so I went and found it. I have suspected I might be and I scored a 144 out of 200. I also know I scored higher in some areas because I have worked very hard on them.

I did the one that looks like a spiderweb and the other one that gives you one score.

On the spiderweb one my NT score was higher than my AS one, and the AS one was under 100, but I don't remember specific numbers.

On the other one (from Wired I think), I scored a 35. 32 is the low cutoff for possibly having AS. Apparently I never got the memo about my ASD

I got that I am likely an Aspie.
