I think the accuracy of the test depends a lot on whether something comes naturally or whether it's learned. Like the questions about chitchat and meeting new people. I hate social chitchat and I'm pretty indifferent to meeting new people, but when I was dating I learned to be good chitchat and to enjoy meeting people(I had to learn to enjoy meeting people, so I would be interested in what they say, so I could have threads to follow for chitchat). Since then I've forgotten that mostly because I don't really care, but I think the point stands. Would I be less on the spectrum if I've learned to be "more normal"? Would me not giving a fuck make me more autistic?

There were some other points where I've now learned to be better at those things and if I have to answer what would be the correct answer? I can't say I'm not good at them because I've made deliberate effort to be good at those things, but I've had to made deliberate effort because those are things I'm naturally not good at.
