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.

Be warned:

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

Haha my friends and family already think I'm on the spectrum but I've never been tested, aside from an ADHD diagnosis that plagues me.

This thing says I have Asperger's. 29 points isn't that high though.

40/50

I have a diagnosis, so that checks out.

43/50.

I, too, have a wife. I suspect she woukd have a score not far from my own.

Damn near the same situation here, both on the score and the missus, but I have been diagnosed with ADHD also.

I may be wrong here, I don't have a degree in psychology, nor an MD with a specialty in psychiatry, but an automatically graded 50 question test, with no follow interview, does not seem like a suitable tool for providing a differential diagnosis.

36/50 and that's without asking about textures, sensory overload, and my reluctance to make eye contact.

30 does not fall into the range of significant autistic traits.

33 to 50 is the autistic traits range.

I got 179 out of 200 on mine! Suck it!

This is the one I took. https://embrace-autism.com/aspie-quiz/

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 a high score of 40/42....... Why are basically all the the things true? Like they are specific to my day to day.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ooi! I want a test to confirm my bias.
