Even though I am diagnosed with ASD, I score lower on this quiz than most users here. This might be because my biggest ASD-related problem is executive dysfunction, not relational or social issues. My social skills are generally okay; I can pass for NT most of the time. Online autism tests almost always emphasize social impairment above all else, but occupational impairment is a far greater struggle for me. If I could manage working a full-time job outside of my home, then I might not even qualify for an ASD diagnosis.

Quizzes like this must be taken with a grain of salt. Many nonautistic individuals with ADHD, highly introverted personalities, and/or severe social anxiety would score higher than I did. Some people are just plain bad at self-assessment, which leads to inaccurate results that skew one way or the other, depending on how you see yourself.

When I first took this test, I received a much lower score than this one because I did not realize how atypical (read: autistic) my behavior was. My Aspie score went up by around thirty points soon after I received my diagnosis.

Same from me. I learned so much about myself when my parents talked to the psychiatrists, and also from the notes they made from observing me. I was genuinely surprised by some things. Weird to find out you do something all the time without even realising you're doing it.

My score is 151
I am diagnosed with autistic disorder

Thanks all for your replies so far. It's interesting to see your results.

Yeah, I had to put 'don't know' for a lot of those questions too.

While the aspie test produces interesting results and a lot of hard work has gone into it, it is important to remember that it's main function is actually a hypothesis test. As Redrobin has observed the current hypothesis revolves around sexual preference.

In response to your original post, my score is 140 ND - 70 NT. Although according to my GP my traits are sub-clinical.

Would you all agree that these online tests might be good screening tools, but not so good ultimate diagnostic tools?

Yeah, I've gotten slightly different numbers each time I've taken the RDOS (+/- 10 points). Good for a ballpark figure, doesn't seem to be real precise.

Yes, any online test can only be, at best, a screening tool.

I don't think it's quite there as a screening tool. When I was screened I, my parents, and my school all had to fill in questionnaires and it asked a lot of questions about developmental and childhood history which this quiz lacks but is also a key part of the criteria. It has potential though, and I think it's experimental intentionally as there's questions about theories like the Neanderthal questions. It's a bit different in that respect. I guess it's a study.

Yes. While it seems that many of you here have ASD diagnoses (naturally) and RDOS results that line up with those, I still wonder about how an otherwise allistic person with social anxiety, OCD, or BPD would go (for example).

Agreed

did this before but cant remember, but I did it again just now and got:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 191 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 21 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)

prof diagx: asd, as, hfa, gad, mci, add, bd(mdi), bdd, bif, mdd, la, mws, md, nd(dad), ocd, ptsd, pi

I have no clue what most of those diagnosis are

I am curious about this well. I know a few nonautistic individuals who would receive high scores on this quiz, possibly even higher than I would. Yet none of them are autistic, just neurodiverse in different ways and/or on the broader autistic phenotype.

Funnily enough, I took the Aspie Quiz when I was sixteen years old and did not score very high. Since I did not score in the autistic range, I assumed that I was not autistic and searched for other diagnoses to explain my issues, such as schizoid personality disorder. This is why I am wary about online assessment tests: If I had not dismissed my autistic behavior due to online quizzes, perhaps I could have gotten diagnosed earlier.

My results were very similar to yours:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 188 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 20 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)

im self diagnosed. unfortunately i have not been able to go get an official diagnosis yet..

this is my score:

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 163 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 53 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)
