Aspies For Freedom

I got 162/200 for AS.

i got this:

Your Aspie score: 137 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 51 of 200

i thought i had this when i first heard of it, but is this kind of an online test reliable?

i am of course too lazy to get officially diagnosed so it will remain a mystery forever

on the systemizing quotient i got 45 and 15 on the empathy quotient

and i also thought that some common questions described me perfectly like labeling things and keeping them in order or not knowing what to do in social situations, etc...

Hi! I'm new here!

Your Aspie score: 126 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 57 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie


Systemizing = 46
Empathy = 16
Autism Spectrum Quotient = 37
Minds eye = 26

Just for the record (I took it today):

Your Aspie score: 152 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 39 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie.

Fits well with my scores on the Baron-Cohen tests

Hmmmm...

So I just started a program to become an instructor for "borderline" special ed kids, high school aged. These are the sorts of kids who are functional, but flagged to not be able to pass high school for one reason or another. Each case is of course different- some are dyslexic, others are mildly autistic, etc, but most are by no means unintelligent.

I'm currently 27 years old and was diagnosed with ADD (nonhyperactive) about 14 months ago. Personally, I never felt the diagnosis fully encompassed what I experienced as a child and continue to experience, but I never considered something like Asberger's until I began my program. I'm very reluctant to jump to conclusions, but after reading and working with the Aspie kids, I felt I had to research it a bit further. Then I came here.

My results for this quiz?

"Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your Aspie score: 171 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 25 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie"

This is actually not very much of a suprise to me. Some of the questions on the exam I found pretty interesting. I find myself thinking a lot about those small, odd ones describing actions I take as completely normal, but read as really bizarre on their face. Their very presence on an exam for Asberger's suggests there's something strange about them and I... I just really need to think about this for a while.

"Do you feel uncomfortable in fluorescent light?"
Why yes, yes I do. In fact, I notice the way it makes my skin glow orange immediately and I really dislike it. Who wouldn't?

"Are you very gifted in one or more areas?"
I'd say so. I never needed to be taught how to manage a computer database (and did so for five years). They just parked me in front of the computer and I knew what to do. I don't know how to explain it, but I just know how they work. In fact it goes even further than that- I had many bar codes in the grocery store I worked at memorized and could read basic bar codes by themselves just looking at the black and white lines. Don't most people, though? Aren't these things retardedly simple? It's just a simple series of black bars. Yet for some reason I can't draw three dimensional objects or whistle.

"Have you felt different from others for most of your life?"
I used to say that if the world was a steak house, I was a pair of chop sticks.



Sorry, I'm ranting a bit. It seems my therapist deserves another phone call.

interesting test

specifically to thebvp, randomly to everyone...

I also never know how to answer some of the questions on these type tests...

Does an obsessive interest in human beings: their habits, habitats, etc. equal an Aspie "obsessive interest" and if I am more drawn to humans than objects because humans are the most fascinating objects on the planet...what does that mean?

Am "I" interested in fashion or do I find "normal" humans' interest in fashion, fascinating?  Like a bird-watcher would find a magpie's collecting, fascinating?  Am I interested because I learn and adhere to the rules to better able blend into the human habitat and thereby be included in human ritual and companionship (usually for study purposes, occasionally for warm fuzzies)?  i.e. it is important to them so I adopt it but it is not inherent to my being and left alone, I act otherwise?  

Problems making friends? No.  Problems keeping friends?  Yes.  Problems with not being able to keep friends?  Not really.

Am I depressed?  Compared to what, when?

Do others recognize my full potential?  The opposite problem.  I have no interest in pursuing what they point out as my potential.  I cannot quantify it "as" a potential.  I am always a gifted under-achiever (huh? gifted at under-achieving...maybe).  I am a tortoise not a hare.

Good at reading body language?  Yes, after decades of psychological study and people watching, but does everyone have to study and manually apply in return?

Do I find it hard to describe my feelings and emotions? No. I say what I mean.  Do others often not understand my descriptions?  Yes.  

Do I wear jewelry?  Yes and no.  I feel naked in public without it and have a small collection of special and/or family pieces.  But it's the first thing I take off when I get home to my "naked cave" and I cannot just "wear it around the house".   And what the heck kind of question is that?

btw:

Your Aspie score: 168 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 45 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Also with answers like yes, I am moderately comfortable in social situations, can read body language, can tell when people are bored...after many years of internal, self-developed and manually applied programming (which isn't always applied correctly).

I have taken several tests and done them a few times - due to the shock of finding such a high score but I always come out in the top Aspie range even when I try to alter the answers a little bit.

Cohen tests me at 40.

Here's my score:

Your Aspie score: 118 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 93 of 200
You are both Aspie and neurotypical

Your Aspie score: 161 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 37 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Which goes nicely with my girlfriend's ''You so dont have Asperger's, you know" diagnosis.

I'm happy with that.

Is that bad?
