I caught myself almost filling out my name on my own sheet of paper as that was the first thing asked for ... doh, that's taking literal compliance a little too far ! No wonder about the score huh? :lol:

I did actually fill out all the personal information. I realized that it was probably unncessary, but filled it out just in case.

208, but I wasn't entirely sure about a couple of questions, so I might have scored higher or lower.

Difficult test to do, lot of answers are too much black/white. What I wonder is what the reasoning is behind that, would realy want to read something about that. Actually I send an email to the address that was in the top of the article, who knows I get an answer.

My score was 142.

I was given this test to take about 2 - 3 weeks ago, and I scored about 158.
I agree with what some have said that some questions are too black and white. A few times I had to let him put 'never' down for me, if my experience wasn't as severe as the question implied etc. But I'm sure 158 is close enough.
I've been refered to a local AS service anyway. Now, more waiting. :wink:

I had to skip a few questions and some I answered more than one box so I went with the adult/child one on those.

My score is 145

I got 222, but I think some of the questions don't suit me.

For example, the ones about not knowing how another person feels are hard to answer. If it was rewritten with animal instead of person, I would have scored less. I'm clueless with people, I relate better with animals, except dogs, haha

I asked the person who designed this test about the style of the questions, more specific about the black/white nature of it. She said that it had taken them 4 years and that 5 ASD adults had been involved in the designing, making the same type of comments as many of us do here on WP. Her advice is to take the test with a specialist, and that there is room for interpretation, or to leave questions unanswered.

That's good, you emailed them? I guess it's just unfortunate that I didn't take the test with a specialist, he only has a little experience with AS, and didn't understand where I was coming from. I'm sure it doesn't matter, it just annoys me having wrong information passed along..

I can understand that it is frustrating. For adults a good ASD specialist is hard to find. In my case I never got any further then a psychologist and a psychiatrist labeling me with a growing list of DSM labels. The things that realy mattered most to me (like possibly loosing my job) was never discussed. Useless...

I scored 158.
I took this test a couple of months ago. I scored a little lower but an NT friend looked at it and corrected me on a couple of things :oops: I also tried not to analyse the questions quite so much this time

102, I guess that is kind of high. A lot of them were 1's, stuff I did as a kid I don't do now.
