This should probablybe in the new members thread, but regardless, welcome to WP.

There's a popular online test you can take which can gice you a vague indication to whether or not you're on the spectrum. I'm sure someone will be nice enough to post a link.

welcome to WP. It might be helpful if you hang around and see if you identify with the issues many of us speak about.
Take care. :)

The AQ test is only 50 questions. Is that better?

don't understand body language, my mom just explained them to me for the first time, and i still couldn't understand it...that is probably why i could never have a girlfriend....because i hated being touched or hugged...kissing was okay, i think? LOL, i dunno probably not...but ummm...it feels like my mind is blind, i can't sense when someone is lying to me...i went to a mental hospital last year and my mom said that it was my friends fault that drove me to insanity....and they felt "guilty" and never called me again after that....is it because they were deceiving me my whole life without even knowing it?...hmmmm?....those are some, but i'm sure i have many more, just can't think of any right now

How are you socially? Like if you're sitting with a group of people will you feel comfortable and chat or are you unsure of how to contribute to the conversation and end up zoning out?

32 would be likely AS. I did it just then and got 40.
