This is a questionaire by Simon Baron-Cohen from Cambridge (I think). You'll have to deter,ome your score by yourself since the site can no longer do it for you. It's not hard to do.

you could also go to OKCupid. They have an AS quiz as one of their quizzes.

This version of the Baron-Cohen AQ does, in fact, calulate your score for you.

Nice test. I scored 140 out of 200. It says the average NT scores 49 out of 200.

I guess I'm an Aspie. :)

I got a 37 on the one on newsweek. It's scored from 0 to 50. Apparently I am in the "very high" category.

I took the Baron-Cohen test three times in the last half year or so. I go 32, 36 and 24.

It seems that my best-case scenario is "I Don't have AS but still have an above-average amount of AS traits".

I got either 36 or 39. I keep mixing 6's and 9's.

I took the Newsweek one and scored a 34, which is squarely in the 'highly functioning autism' range, according to the link. I think I did this test before (summer 2006), and posted my score here. As I recall, I was in the same range, and it merely cemented my suspicions that I was AS.

I scored a 126 on Rdos's Aspie Quiz, and took the Baron-Cohen test last night and scored a 39. Although there was a question on the Aspie Quiz that I answered No to regarding making animal noises, and less than an hour later I realized 'Wait a minute, I'm meowing at my cat...', and probably should have put Yes on that one as now that I think about it I do tend to do that a lot.

I haven't done the Baron-Cohen one before. I got 44, which is much higher than I expected. I'm not seeing a doctor though like it suggests. :-)

Many thanks to all of you for your good and lovely tipps.

With 43 on Simon-Baron Cohen and 160 on the RDOS it seems that the psychologist (who sendet me to the neurologist), and the neurologist's diagnoses as well are correct :/

I've made the Simon-Baron Cohen before but in german and I had 47 of 50 possible points. So I'm "less aspie" in english than in german (autsch).

The Aspie-quiz was new to me and I've found the evaluation (with this graphics) very interesting.

The neuroligist was actually making other kind of tests (no questioning) but more "paper-work" like "searching for a special combination of letters in a big text", "finding combinations of numbers" "searching for details in pictures" and so on .... I've made that all in a "remarkably short time" as he said. But on the other side I had problems to determine if a face, without mouth and hairs, was either female or male.

I was hoping to find more tests like that actually ...(the technical ones)

He (the neurologist) conclued that my brain was funcionning in a different way than others. That's it : a syndrome, not a disease. This diagnose was not very useful to me considering that I allways felt I was a bit different than the others (except that I was thinking the others were all crazy and I was the only wright-one) So, he confirmed, that I am "the minority".

Now, with age 42, all those results are not relevant for me anymore. They are only interesting.

Now I am diagnosTED, finally. They catagorise clearly what I was allways thinking and feeling but couldn't explain by simple words. Since ever I get on more easily with motorbikes, engines or computers than with peoble. Now all of my thinkings and feelings, my whole human-being is in a norm : F84.5 ... and that's reassuring.

Merry Christmas,

Amely

I have to appologize for my bad english - please read correctly "peoble" means "people" ( :oops: )

Sorry,

It happens to the best of us, Amely.

Once nice feature of this site is that you can edit a post
to correct spelling mistakes once you recognize them.

BTW (=By the way), welcome to Wrong Planet!
