I got 208. Isn't that a bit high for Asperger's? Or is it a continuum.

I got 202 in total, 14 language, 96 social relatedness, 58 sensory/motor, 34 circumscribed interests

I didn't like the way this test was worded and laid out, it's a bit ambiguous

@Iced: (I spare the quotes)

I could have written almost the same. I live independently, have an own flat (my sanctuary), and some of the events you described happened at an older age in my life (dx at 38, 'not caring too much about what others think of me' at 40). Actually, I do care about certain things, as I indulge more myself in some of my interests since I managed to strengthen my ego somehow in the past year (at least I think so). I guess one never stops learning so it's never too late in that sense. I don't see myself as a misanthrope, though, just don't feel the need to be liked as badly as I did before.

I figured that if I do care about myself and my emotional world, rejecting the idea of "full rational thinking" (aspie-fallacy), I can function better. Autistic people are susceptible to disregard their emotions, then they suffer the consequences during shutdowns, meltdowns, burnouts, bouts of anxiety and depression (and possibly other stuff too, causing warped view of reality and PD-like issues). Humans (including autistics), like all beings, are primarily guided by their emotions. Without them we'd do nothing 24/7, literally.

Last week I met my therapist (one of the psychs who dx'd me) and asked once again why I was dx'd with PDD-NOS. She answered "Because my symptoms are in the mild range, barely reaching the criteria for ASDs." (OK, a little more than that.) We don't know exactly how I would have appeared before them as a child, we only know that now I adopted successfully, and while my struggles are valid, there's no extreme need for help, and nothing serious to worry about. Pretty much nothing, you have to figure out almost everything if you want to further you life... :? 8)

But somehow it feels better to have a support network, just in case.

I thought the same thing. I got 215 and when I saw the average (151.3), I was shocked.

My Results

SCORE: 215
LANGUAGE: 21
SOCIAL RELATEDNESS: 97
SENSORY/MOTOR: 57
CIRCUMSCRIBED INTERESTS: 40

I am officially diagnosed with ASD by the way.

Social relatedness - 75.0

Circumscribed interests - 33.0

Undiagnosed with ASD but am diagnosed with 'attachment issues'. (attachment disorder is a children diagnosis).

Same difference to me. In TCM they have the same root causes.

Diagnosed with AS, ADD and Dyslexia.

Total 88
Language 2
Social relatedness 48
Sensory motor 24
Circumscribed interests 14

These scores are probably lower than representitive due to the always/never nature of the questions and due to my putting when I was younger a lot due to some increased understanding with age. My diagnoses are deffinately correct and I do have trouble with all of them.

I found that a bit limiting in so far as I wanted to say, "Well sometimes, but......"

Anyhoo. Do I win?

It's been a while, I forget what I scored. I'll take it again because I've made huge progress learning more about myself.

Noted: I don't like the strictly true/false selections. A "kinda" option would've been nice. Ex: "Are you a sympathetic person"... No, I am not but I can be sympathetic. Here I am forced to pick "never true" option instead...

My Results
Total score: 140.0
Language: 14.0
Social Relatedness: 63.0
Sensory/Motor: 36.0
Circumscribed Interests: 27.0

I scored above the threshold value in each section. Also, I was diagnosed with AS back in 2007.

188

Diagnosed, female. I always score high on these tests. Funnily I wasn't diagnosed in childhood; shows how much people care if you don't act out...

Not Diagnosed:

Total Score: 204
Language: 15
Social Relatedness: 98
Sensory Motor: 49
Circumscribed Interest: 42

I even took a screen shot: http://oi61.tinypic.com/2j1vnv8.jpg

So, my only question is. I don't really understand what all these numbers mean. And am a little confused right now about what any of this means.

Well I redid the test because I missed the under 16 part of the "un the oast". Some of these traits have changed for me but that didn't happen yntil my early 30s. Anyhow my new and "improved" score is:

Total: 166 :(
Language: 16
Social Relatedness: 90 :cry:
Sensory Motor: 36
Circumscribed Interests:24

These scores are higher than the average aspie!
