This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I got 35 of 50 from this test and I am very sure that I don't have autism. Does anyone score lower than 30 on this test?!

14, But them I'm a little to the extroverted side. I think for a lot of statements, a neurotypical introvert would fall on the same side of the agree/disagree divide as some with autism, but maybe with differing intensities. But, as this is a self reported test, there's no real indicator what differentiates strongly agree from slightly agree.

So, for example: both introverts and autistic people will probably might have difficulties meeting new people. But if you as an introvert compare yourself to extroverts around you, you might say you strongly agree with having problems meeting new people, when you have little problems compared to many autistic people.

Or maybe you're autistic. I'm not a cop.

(And yes, I know that the concept of introverts vs extroverts has some flaws, but it works for this specific situation).

personality disorders can have overlapping symptoms with autism - i scored 30 too, but i'm a wreck, so i did expect as much lol

I got 23/50. Frankly, I only took it because my actual diagnosis can have some behavioral overlap with autism, so I'm a little surprised it didn't misdiagnose me like people often do.
