I have the image, I just can't figure out how to upload it. There isn't an 'upload image' option, and it is no longer hosted online, but as a pdf on my computer.

It's funny you mentioned that you don't have the image from a while back.

After last week, taking a few tests and noticing correlations, I started making screen shots and tracking my results. So, I have a lot of test results. I guess that's a symptom of the "Systemization" I took a test on.

What's funny is that the test focused on making lists and things like that. All my lists and such are in my head. The only things I have any sort of copies of or library of are reference and anatomy photos of models.


I make mental lists of some things, and when I explain things I tend to do them in a list format. But to stay organized, I NEED to make a physical list to accomplish anything in an efficient manner.
I'm stubborn, and don't make lists, so my house looks like a disaster zone.

I've noticed also that my test scores tended to go up as I began noticing habits or when I started understanding that something they ask about has a slightly broader application than only what they are saying. I won't literally go to a library over a concert (theater?), but theater's make me highly anxious, and I have decided to read the books behind movies instead of seeing it, or will wait for it to come out on video or something instead.

Does that make sense?

When you reply, hit the last button to the right from the "youtube" logo (But, not so far to the right that you see the button with the question mark). That will let you link to the image. You have to have the image somewhere on the net though I believe.I hosted mine on my server. The button will bring up a dialogue that asks for a link. That will put in the code and link for the image.

Don't know if that helps.

Absolutely. I also have an advantage. I don't have kids underfoot. That would definitely require me to make physical lists. Otherwise I would not (did not) function well with kids and work and well, everything.

Over the years, I've actively worked hard to minimize my life. Unfortunately, that also minimized my financial prospects.
And, to really laugh, I just noticed I make up words...The above was originally spelled "minimalize". Hahahahaha

Let's see if this works. This corresponds to the values in my signature.

I have always needed lists to get things accomplished. But my mom used to make me use them, and I am stubborn, and won't use them now. One day I will change my mind and I'll feel foolish for resisting, but not yet.

Ha! Yes, my husband loves my made up words!! Except they are usually made up when I am trying not to use the other words that I know, so now that I stopped hiding that, he asks if I am making up real words.

Looks a lot like mine.

I sure hope we can get properly diagnosed. I've had separate times that symptoms were masked by more obvious overlaps. Since it fit a quick definition, it was overlooked. So, I want to know so that if it isn't Aspergers, what is it then? What is a viable course of action for me. It's late in life and my profession is all geared to being run by young people. I just can't connect with them. Have a hard enough time with my peers.

So, yeah, I'm a bit panicked, fascinated (that it could answer a lot of questions I've always had) and obsessed.

Not a good combo.

But, it also fascinates me that I may find like minded people that share same interests. Just to finally be able to have a conversation with someone who was like me. Kinda nice to know that I may not be so alone after all.

Exactly the mindset I have been dealing with.

On top of the anxiety of appearing as if I am attempting to join a 'group' where I don't belong.

I am semi fortunate in that I have been evaluated for the typical psychological disorders and they have not been found to be 'my' problem. I definitely exhibit the more typical symptoms of ASD, several of which have caused anxiety and prohibited me from succeeding in the workforce or in gaining employment. I am pretty literal, but I also love metaphors, idioms, and the like, thanks to a period where I researched them continuously until I discovered their origin, meaning, and application.

I have a 9 page listing of my personal symptoms as they apply to the DSM-V requirements, which I add to daily as I either see more, or as I remember more (from my childhood).

I am very confident in the diagnosis. Confident enough that I have been rearranging most of my life to accommodate my limits instead of what I had been doing, which as forcing myself to do as expected. It has been the most successful anxiety managing technique I have found in years.

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 155 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 59 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)

My aspie score seems to vary by 15 or so points when I take it, this latest is one of the stronger scores.

My "Aspie" score of 125 came in lower than I expected and the 93 NT number was obviously higher than I predicted.
I was also surprised to see the test concluding I showed both traits. Then I had to stop and realise that my primary ND diagnosis is SPD and HFA is only secondary in my case.
So I guess it could be possible for someone on the PDD spectrum to curve towards NT with their numbers based on how they've coped with their situation? I see 2077's profile indicates an Asperger diagnosis, yet an enjoyment of doing standup comedy. Perhaps becoming comfortable publicly performing (as I am nowdays with music) might skew our answers to certain test questions causing less "Aspie" results?

Yes, because this quiz is more of a personality thing. Has hardly any core symptoms of autism, it just has the "traits" plus whatever new theory the creator of it is testing.

I think it would depend on the individual. I can teach my classes (although that is getting to be more difficult). It used to be easier. When I started, the students would do their homework religiously, come in with questions and enthusiasm. Now, they mostly trickle in late (Disturbing my flow). Do not engage, but complain when they 'don't get it' (messes up my timetable and scheduling). Do not listen or use the materials I've made or supplied them, but complain it isn't just as convenient as they want. (Used to be no problem, but if it's not on THE platform or media of their choice, it's just another complaint). I could go on and on and take us into one of my big tangents. So, before, when I was just standing there answering topics of something I know a lot about, it was fine. But, it was not a social situation. No chit chat or small talk.

Now, it's different.

Guys, you´re taking this quizz far too seriously.
It is NOT a diagnostic tool!
It can give a hint about your mental temperature on a given day in a given period and that´s it.

Nope, it's not a diagnostic tool. But, the tests are actually derived from the real tests used to start a baseline and give an indicator.

It gave me a point that I could start if I wanted to.

It is an indicator.
