Aspies For Freedom

I just took the quiz and my results were as follows.

Your Aspie score: 195 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 23 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie.

It is not likely I will ever be asked to immitate a Neurotypical Human with a score like mine.  I have been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism since age 8.  I am an information technology specialist with the government.  I wish we had a AS support group here in Baltimore, Maryland USA.

To AlphaWolf. I got similar scores and a DX of HFA as a small child that I later found out about when I was in high school. Parents were not keen on this understandably. I barely got into mainstream classroom education and did poorly. My auditory sensitivities did me in.
--------------------------------

Oh trust me please.  My grandparents who raised me were not too keen on the idea I was autistic either.  I was diagnosed in 1968 which was the stone ages of autism understanding.  I was a genius at doing the work of mainstream classes but, my socialization skills were like that of a LoneWolf.  My biggest problem was I enjoyed the actual work in class but everything typical humans did distracted me.  What did me in in mainstream school was the touching.  Back in my bad times when I was touched for any reason unexpectedly I fought the person who did it.  I hated all touching growing up and can only just barely tolerate it now.

I never liked loud or unexpected noises either.  I used to tune in on anything even subtle changes in the buzzing of the florescent lights would affect me.  Because I enjoyed being by myself so much you know kids made it their business to bother me.  Of course now I realise this was likely people just trying to be friendly which just gets on my  nerves then as it does now!  I say all this because, I do not want you to feel you are all alone.

Just wanted to emphasise this bit - a lot of people forget that just because the GF diet is touted as a cure doesn't mean that it's entirely useless. I've heard quite a lot of accounts from autistic people saying it's helped with various digestive issues, etc...

Not that I've tried it myself. *grins*

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your Aspie score: 164 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 48 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

Giftedness-score: 117 of 152

So I took the new quiz. Results:

Your neurodiversity (Aspie) score: 127 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 85 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie (neurodiverse)

Diagnostic prediction for Score Prediction
Asperger/HFA/PDD 131 You very likely will be able to receive the diagnosis
ADD/ADHD   103 You will probably be able to receive the diagnosis
Bipolar 99 You might be able to receive the diagnosis
OCD 85 This isn't a primary diagnosis you should seek
Social phobia 80 This isn't a primary diagnosis you should seek
Dyslexia 37 This isn't a primary diagnosis you should seek


My spider web looks different from last time as well:

Yep. my aspie score was 95, which means my diagnosis was probably correct.

I think it was because I answered 'a little/sometimes' on a lot of the questions, and there were a few that were badly phrased so I didn't understand them.

Some of them were a bit specific as well. For example 'do you bite your lip/cheek/tongue when you're nervous. I answered no, because I don't do any of these things, but I do touch my face and hair. Also I don't rock, but I do pace around a lot and jiggle my legs.

Just tried again. I only changed my mind about a few things. Now my aspie score has upped 20 points to 115, which is good, but even so...

It's confirmed. These things aren't all that accurate.

I think I might have misunderstood my previous results. I tried it again, and got, in short:

Aspie score: 117 (different again)
NT score (can't remember- about 85 I think)

But then I had:

Aspergers/PDD/HFA score: 157

Which one do I go on?

I've just had a thought...

Does anyone else think that they may have got a lowered score on this quiz or any other similar quiz because of these two things:

1) These quizzes never take into account aspies who want to socialise but who aren't very good at it. As a result people's marks can be altered by questions such as 'Do you enjoy meeting new people?'. Some aspies will like communicating with new people, and will answer yes, and get a lower score because of it.

2) These quizzes often see a love of maths/IT to be simultaneous with Aspergers. Creative aspies who don't like maths are ignored. In another test I did there was the question 'would you rather go to a museum than the theatre?'. This could trip the many non-academic aspies up very easily.

Here is my score, after taking it, it then directed me to the AQ quiz. Your Aspie score: 172 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 34 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

AQ-score: 42 out of 50

I am wondering if someone will give me the link to the stim quiz, I would like to  take it.

holy hell!

how the heck did you manage that?
