It say I scored 26 and that is borderline but then they say 86% of the folks who hit 26 are aspies..but a person has to get to 32 to be official..lol. Then they seemed intent of trying to send me to some clinic to part me with money. Is this normal Thanks.

Getting a 32 on the AQ doesn't make anyone "official". No online test can do that. It simply means that the average score for most people on the spectrum is 32 (meaning some can get higher, and some can get lower as well). Or it might say that most aspies score 32 or above (again: most....not all).

An AQ test simply gives you an IDEA, it cannot be a diagnosis--not even if you score a 50/50 on it. You need a professional to do that. If you want a diagnosis, you should try and contact someone qualified in your area. I would not give money to anyone they suggest unless that clinic is local and proven legit (never agree to do any kind of service like this online because autism cannot be diagnosed online).

I took it just for the heck of it, and scored a 37. Although, I've already been officially diagnosed on the autistic spectrum.

I have now decided I have NLD with Aspie overtones. Not much use in paying for an official diagnosis since doubt the guv'ment will send me any free stuff. It does make a person feel a little better knowing why they act different from other folks.

35, just for s**ts and giggles. I'm diagnosed, though was Self-diagnosed for about a year or so.

Well thanks for taking the test and reporting the results. Seems fairly accurate for an online free unofficial test. Now some of our 14 year old lady kinfolks who "I" am fairly sure has undiagnosed AS or a real similar variant took a different test which asked family history questions which sounded a bit more thorough than the one I took. I would pay five bucks to hear her results. . I'm pretty sure I don't have it since I do not like all that crazy Japanese Anime stuff:) What is the attraction there? She loves it..lol. That might be a clue huh?
