What do the numbers of the questionnaire mean?
I did the questionnaire which gave me a cool graph and as/nt-scores. And a personal report. Unfortunately, I forgot where I saved them so I have to rely on my brain. My NT-score was in the 70's and my AS-score must have been around 140... I guess. Anyway other people around here have much higher AS scores and much lower NT-scores. I also noticed that everyone peaked on the talent part while my score was below 'average'. So I wanted to know what all these numbers mean. Is it good or bad?
Sounds like you did the Aspie Quiz
It's a test that checks for traits of autism. It's also got some of the Neanderthal Theory in there - something they're just testing for statistic purposes from what I gather.
As for what the numbers mean, an AS/ND score that is high and a NT score that is low indicates a possibility of being Neurodiverse (ND)/Asperger's(AS). An NT score that is high and an AS score that is low indicates the person is Neurotypical (NT). If they're about even they have traits of both.
It isn't an official diagnostic tool and goes by traits rather than the criteria, however it can be a good indicator. That paired with difficulty in the areas of socialisation could mean Asperger's. But some do score high and do not have AS.
How'd you come across it?
I was lurking the forums and saw these graphs and then I found the link. I was diagnosed with AS but then I was subjected to "behavioural therapy" which tried to "stop" the symptoms by replacing it with a desirable behavioural response. Basically brainwashing. That definitely screwed me up. I began to develop split personality. Maybe that's why I have weird scores.
