Though, I had to put in semi random answers several times because the statements were not applicable. Some examples:
I do find them easy. I just hate them most of the time and try to avoid them.
Definitely the library over the party. Though, I'd rather cut myself between the fingers with paper than go to a library. What century is this test from? We have the internet!
Making friends is super easy. Keeping them is what requires effort which I'm not willing to invest most of the time. And I stopped making new friends, not because I couldn't, but because I didn't see the point.
I frequently find that I don’t want to keep a conversation going.
Those are two very different things. I notice the tiniest of changes in "social" situations but am ignorant to changes in outer appearance or decoration that many would consider major. It took me like half an hour, after being prompted about a change, to figure out that an entire wall in a room changed from white to red ...
Reading emotions is easy. Telepathy/mind reading is proven to not exist.
I am. But I hate it and avoid it unless I see a clear benefit from enduring it.
If anybody thinks they can really imagine what it would be like to be another (existing) person, they are delusional. Even getting a crude approximation right would be mere coincidence.
I can imagine a million fictions of what I could be.
I assume I'd have no trouble with it if I set my mind to it. But why would I want to?
Finally someone gets how I feel taking these types of tests.
It's always me going: "I guess it's X, but it depends on Y and Z"
Whatever score you got, it probably wasn't high enough.
There should be an option for: "I'm to autistic to take this test."
Fuck that, I'm not autistic! As long as I'm not tested positive, I'm not. I wasn't, and I'm not going to be. I can be an exceptional software engineer with a direct wire to God without being autistic or otherwise crazy. And I'll have no glow-in-the-dark shrink say otherwise!
For spending the time to write this entire spiel out, you should have 5 points added to your score.
Not to say I don't agree with every single point you made.
I got 21 but feel the same as the examples you gave. I’m very good at “putting on a show” when it comes to socialising - I can easily be the life and soul of the party but it is so fucking draining.
Considering amount of arguments you made - you are autistic! 😅
Exactly, the difference between easy technically / exhausting emotionally is what comes to mind.
There are separate questions for enjoying social chitchat and occasions, and being good at them. So you can agree with being good at them, and disagree with enjoying them.
