I have taken the AQ test twice (over the internet on 2 different computers and IP addresses) and I got 34 both times. Apparently anything over 32 means it is likely one has ASQ.
When I tell people that I may have Aspergers people say that I do show classic symptons of it, though I am still high functioning.
I am not in a position right now to spend over a $1,000 to get an official diagnois but will probably will get one in a few months as I am interested if I have it or not.
I do not know much about ASQ. I don't consider myself to be a genius or really smart, though people do tell me I am highly intelligent. I believe I can handle social situations, especially if it relates to work however unless it is related to work I prefer to avoid social situations, especially ones with many people as I find these extremly boring. I have been working full-time in accounting for over 8 years and before that I worked as a check-out operator (I even got an employee of the month and a letter from head office that I was doing well as a check-out operator). When I get very excitied or angry or I get caught up in a day-dream (like I'm sort of living it) I get strange facial expressions and I do weird actions with my hands which can freak people out. I did not speak until I was about 4 and I did get tested for autism in the 1980's (when I was about 2 or 3) but they found I did not have autism (I have read Aspergers was not really recongised as a condition until the 1990's. My parents were so worried about me when I was a child that for 3 years I went to a special school.
I am interested in learning more about ASQ and people's thoughts on what I have explained about myself if I have ASQ? Besides the facial expressions and hand movements when I get excitied or angry, I don't really have an issue with how I am.
