Well, just did a few and it definitely indicates I'm right on the cusp.

One of us. One of us. One of us.
Well, I just scored a 37 on the autism spectrum quotient.
Ditto.
161 on RAADS-R
Well betond the autism threshold! Below are my results when I took it a few months ago. The social relatedness really hit home. I've had so much difficulty with that, so it's a bit validating to know I'm not making it up.
I took as many of these as I could a few weeks ago in preparation for a doctor visit. While not medically useful, it helped a lot in clarifying where the suspicions are strong and where they are weak. If I had been more vague, I'd have been placed in the general queue where waiting times are years if they even feel they can spare the resources to talk to you (which they did not the last two times). Now I have chance to be assessed, so fingers crossed.

How do you feel about your scores?
Well, the ASD was pretty much in line with any other screening tool, but I had honestly expected at least one of them to score me closer to the low range, given that I manage well day-to-day.
For ADHD I am mostly relieved it didn't indicate any, mostly because it would complicate my assessment attempts haha.
I was a bit surprised that my score for OCD was so low, because I struggled intensely with that as a child.
I like how each test has a section clarifying vague or badly phrased questions.
Yeah, that's pretty considerate and helpful 🙂
Out of curiosity I did one of these tests. I got 34 on Autism Spectrum Quotient, which it says is significant. But to me the questions felt way too generic. I suspect most introverts would score high on this test.
Yeah, I think all of these tests are aren't conclusive by themselves. The scores need context and self-awareness.
Did a few of them and as I thought I am autistic
If you feel comfortable sharing, what were the results?
137 of 200 (sorry for late reply I was asleep)
what assessment was it?
also, you don't have to apologize. take all the time you want 🙂
it was the aspie quiz (sorry for not being clear enugh)
The probability does not seem to correspond directly to the 0–200 scoring range, however. We found that:
A score of 140 or more results in a 100% probability of being autistic
A score of 100 results in a probability of 50% probability of being autistic
A score of 95 results in a 63% probability of being typical (so 37% probability of being autistic)
Yep, you're near close to the 100% probability. Have you considered seeking an official diagnosis?
When I get time. I will most likely do it.
I got 1/10. I think i didn't pass
1/10 on what?
"Short Autism Spectrum Quotient AQ-10"
I'm sorry. You're not autistic. /j!! 😋
What do you think of your score?
Pretty accurate I believe! Just was curious lol
