What is your score on this test, and are you diagnosed?

Haha!

Remember that discussion about "The apple of my eye?" I got to wondering about it so I read a little about it. Wikipedia has a good clear story... it goes waaay back.

"The original Hebrew for this idiom, in all but Zechariah 2:8, was 'iyshown 'ayin (אישון עין), and can be literally translated as "Little Man of the Eye." This is a reference to the tiny reflection of yourself that you can see in other people's pupils. Other KJV translations of the word 'iyshown include dark and obscure, as a reference to the darkness of the pupil.

This Hebrew idiom is surprisingly close to the Latin version, pupilla, which means a little doll, and is a diminutive form of pupus, boy, or pupa, girl (the source also for our other sense of pupil to mean a schoolchild.) It was applied to the dark central portion of the eye within the iris because of the tiny image of oneself, like a puppet or marionette, that one can see when looking into another person's eye."

Thanks for the hint, but i meant "how am I supposed to know that I cannot tell if someone is bored", not "how am I supposed to know that someone is bored".

Diagnosed as Aspergernaut, I scored 100. I note this is still comfortably above the tard threshold, but closer to the average NT than to the average ASD bod of either gender. I suppose why this explains why I'm a decent infiltrator, and why I totally slipped through the net until I was 32. Muhahaha

The only criteria where I didn't score above the threshold was language. I got 2, which is significantly lower than average participants of either gender or neurotype.

What does this mean? Was one of my grandparents a typewriter? Or a dictionary? I'm beginning to think I was misdiagnosed.

I put my result in my sig BTW, that seems to be what the cool kids do round here, eh?

How do you hyperlink in signatures please, anyone? BBcode doesn't appear to work and what I assumed to be HTML didn't work either.

EDIT: I'm clearly too dull to use signatures at all. HALP?

I'm pretty unsure about a lot of things. And a lot of those questions asked for answers I wasn't sure of and I had to guess.

The thing about my social skills, is that how good I think they are depends on my self esteem at the time. When I have high self esteem, I tend to assume I have good social skills. When I have low self esteem or am feeling sad or depressed, to tend to underestimate my own social skills.

I was officially diagnosed with high functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome when I was a young teenager I think. And it caused me a lot of self esteem issues. I started viewing myself as broken and not wanting to believe what they told me, but everyone in my life insisted that I had Asperger's Syndrome or some form of Autism. I still have a hard time with it. It's a hard thing to accept about yourself, whether it's true or not. And when I think about it, it starts to make me feel sad. This is why I didn't join a forum for Asperger's and Autism until now. Every time I think about it since I've been a child, it makes me kind of wince in pain. I don't want to feel like I'm broken or inferior or disgusting.

Anyway, I do think this would be a little more, or useful, or maybe easy, if there were more of a spectrum of responses I could make instead of just kind of like a 'yes' or 'no' response. The Myers-Briggs test allows me to say things like "somewhat true" or "very true" or things like that, and that's very helpful. But I did try to answer as best as I could. Sometimes I had to guess, though.

Anyway, this is what I scored on the test.

Total Score: 68
Language: 7
Social relatedness: 12
Sensory/motor: 19
Circumscribed interests: 30

A small correction: A score of 100 is closer to aspie average than to NT average. The general population average is 21 (the study is linked on the result page). The "NT" averages on the test site are above the thresolds, probably because of sampling bias (i. e. people with Asperger traits are more likely to use the test).

Noted thank you.

I figured out that I had to enable signatures like you described, and perhaps worded my question wrong. How do I shorten a URL in signatures and retain the clikyness? Like this

Got it. It does not seem possible to me, if I put the url bbcode in the signature, the bbcode is just shown verbatim, even in the "long" form. How did you even put that link in your signature?

I got 148.

That site is cool, it keeps previous results and allows you to compare them ! I had already taken the test 5 months ago, before my official diagnosis and at a time where I was frantically searching for information about AS and probably slightly exaggerating my symptoms. At that time I had scored 160. Now I am much more comfortable with my diagnosis and knowledgeable about AS, and I score 12 points lower, but still clearly in the autistic range.

I also think that the site is very good, thanks to RazorEddie.

If anyone of you sees an error in the Hungarian translation, please let me know, because in that case I'm responsible for correcting it.


Just put the url in 'as is'.

Ah, smart. But that indeed does not allow shortening.

lol!

I got 165 score

Ok so if somebody can translate these numbers for me:
Aspie: 139/200
NT: 70/200
group score: 8.7 of 10

While I'm at it how would those numbers differ from ADOS-2?

Yes I am Diagnosed ASD

i got 90
I'm more NT than i thought!
but i'm diagnosed ASD

Total score 90
Language 5.5
Social relatedness 45.7
Sensory/motor 16.5
Circumscribed interests 22.3

^ as someone pointed out to me, don't read too much into comparing the NT statistics to yours as they're likely very skewed.

Most people who take the test in the first place are likely to have ASD. We'd need at least an equal number of randomly selected people to take the test to have some kind of idea where we actually are on the scale.

It's OK! We still love you! GET BACK ON THE BUS.

*group hug*

113. Undiagnosed.
Language: 6.0
Social relatedness: 56.0.
Sensory/motor: 24.0
Circumscribed interests: 27.0.

Some of the questions I found hard to answer. No straight-forward answer for these which somewhat messes up the score;

I can "put myself in other people's shoes".
How? When? All the time? How does that feel? I didn't understand this one at all.

I only like to talk to people who share my special interests.
My special interests are so transient that I don't really have a fixed interest. I go through phases every few days. I couldn't really answer this.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to be someone else.
Again, a question I really don't understand. If I think about being someone else with deliberation, well then, of course I can. All I need to do is intellectualize it, which I've practiced on quite well. Is it an instantaneous, emotional thing?

I get extremely upset when the way I like to do things is suddenly changed.
I don't know. I've had a very chaotic life for the past 4 years and I could only answer this one once the symptoms of my PTSD relax.

I am an understanding type of person.
Only on deliberation. i.e. only when I work at it. But then, does this include an emotionally automatic component as well? Because if so, than only intellectually do I understand people and with that, I really have to make the effort.

I can see in my mind in exact detail things that I am interested in.
I don't understand this, probably because things are very transient. But, what does this mean exactly?

It can be very hard to read someone's face, hand and body movements when they are talking.
I honestly don't take notice so I don't know.

I have never been interested in what most of the people I know consider interesting.
This doesn't make much sense to me. Are we not all different people. We all have different interests. Of course I won't be innately interested in other people's interests.

I like things to be exactly the same day after day and even small changes in my routines upset me.
I'm never sure with this kind of pattern question. I feel I am okay and I don't usually have a routine, but I do have meltdowns which can start piling up when it comes to stress.

The phrase, "He wears his heart on his sleeve" does not make sense to me.
It does because I learnt what it means. Question is null and void because of my knowledge.

It is difficult to figure out what other people expect of me.
Don't understand the question. In what context? How? Why?

my score is 88 and I have (had) PDD....hmm, it's not like i answered untruthfully.
