Yes, it did seem a bit demeaning.

That test made no sense. The questions consist of yes, no, and other optional anwsers, most of which i wanted to anwser something else, such as the laundry question. I can do the laundry, but I often mess it up to where the clothes shrink. Same with the cooking question. I do cook for myself, but I happen to eat horrible food as a consequence.

I was curious to see how others here would score on it.

I think the test was more focused on the extreme end of the spectrum.

On the first one, and I already need a "sometimes" option.

for number 8, is "wheres my earplugs" higher than or lower than "I do not like unexpected loud sounds." ? I don't like unexpected sounds, and other sounds bother me enough that I have to use headphones... :/


also, for 9, what does talking to god have to do with anything? Autistic people can be religious....


Okay, I can't even...what do education and relationship status have to do with Autism?! also, the choice "I am too Autistic to get a relationship" is offensive.

I got 18 % "Looks like you are high-functioning. You are able to drive a car. You've graduated high school. You may go to college to pursue a two or four year degree. You are able to work at a job. You may get married and have kids. For the most part, you are able to live on your own but may need help from time to time. Good Job! Never lose sight of your big plans to better yourself and your future!"

most of my answer is inaccurate. I most likely will never be able to hold a job. and I probably would not be able to take care of children. i definitely could/can not go to college. I am not able to live on my own. I may be high functioning, but hell, that doesn't mean I'm unaffected!

I got 25%, but obviously, this was just a "for fun" quiz with no scientific basis behind it.
