Autism and INTJ-T
I finally understand why people can be fed up with my behaviors and still have Autism. Before, I thought that all autistic people understand each other. Yesterday, I figured out that i'm wrong. The personality type is more important in getting people to understand each other and be good friends. I have a combination of Autism Spectrum Disorder and INTJ-T. I now understand how it's possible that 2 autistic people could not understand each other.
Every autistic person is an [I/E]NT[J/P]-[T/A]
After the hyphen, it's either an A or a T. People with a T have anxiety and people with an A don't have anxiety.
I'm curious what personality type other people that have Autism Spectrum Disorder have.
I found this out on https://www.16personalities.com

As Kiriae says, there are other possibilities (out of the total of 16). Someone else did a poll on this a while ago, and there was quite a wide selection. I don't think it's true that every autistic person falls into one of the categories you mention - it's far more nuanced than that.
I'm an INFJ - T.
People with autism frequently don't understand each other. Just take a look at the different forums on WP - it happens all the time.
I tend to get INTP on these things. I think I got INTJ once, and ISTP - I put these down to ambiguities in a few particular questions. Got INTP-A here.
I think that, after coming to WP and seeing that nowhere near all autists were introverts (which I'd presumed to be a given), any particular 'hope' of finding great recognition and agreement with my fellow aspies went out the window. There's been a few individuals on here whose experiences and perspectives I've found uncannily close to mine. The majority I sort of get but don't share, and a fair few are outright alien.

Greetings. I did a poll on this in the stats sections a few weeks ago, except disregarding the A/T subtype since there aren't enough poll options to choose it from. I also did it with all 16 types too. I believe that though some personality types are more profound in the autistic population, it doesn't mean that that is the limit. I do believe that introverted is more common in the autistic population, along with thinking. But it doesn't mean there are people who aren't those types. I also feel there are more J's too, because it's about order and structure, but I've been surprised about how many autistic people on here who aren't (a Judging type).
Anyways, I am an INTJ-T. I have been like this for years now. I have high anxiety (two anxiety disorders), and haven't had a period in my life when I didn't have anxiety.
Also, as someone else mentioned, there are probably several ISTJs out there in the autistic population because not every autistic person is thinking of the future and daydreaming. Some are probably in the here and now.

Dx Autism Spectrum Disorder - Level 1, learning disability - memory and fine motor skills, generalized and social anxiety disorder
Unsure if diagnosed with OCD and/or depression, but were talked about with my old/former pdoc and doctor.
Criteria for my learning disability is found at this link:

When I was best at masking my autistic traits for professional advancement, I always tested as an ISTJ. After my mid-40s professional burnout, I began to test differently -- either as an INFP, INFJ, or INTJ. So I've always been an I (an Introvert), but everything else has been subject to change. Most recently, I've tested as an INFJ.
Myers-Briggs has been an interest of mine for nearly 20 years

I'm ENFP -T
I had to do a personality test for one of my classes this year. At that point, I was denying I had autism, but still I chose answers which described my own steriotype of autism, which I'd come to associate with myself even though I was denying I had autism. I came out as INTP! While I was reading my course stuff, I realised that wasn't me at all. It took me almost 6 months to work out I'm ENFP. Autistics can be any personality type, but autism excentriates the personalities in different ways or can hide them a little. For example, I always get close to 50% on my extroversion, which is almost an introvert because although I'm energized by social situations, I still find them difficult!
Sadly, I'm an extrovert! Which makes life hard, because I'm an extrovert with all these emotions, and I need a lot of intimate contact with other people, which I can't get because I have social anxiety!
I did the test again today I'm ENFP-T
Done this plenty of times from various sites.
I usually end up with INFJ-A, INFP-A, or ISFJ-T.
INTJ-T? I had that as the most likely result few years ago...

I just know I'm INTJ. Whoever doesn't have anxiety I'd like to meet them - they must be on some really good drugs.

Darn, I flunked.
I feel obliged to point out that it would be better if the one *with* anxiety was called INTJ-A, and the one without was called INTJ-T (or better, INTJ-N for no-anxiety).
Did I mention that I'm an INTJ?

I'm an INFJ-A, and I'm pretty positive that autism isn't restricted to a few specific personality types to any degree. Maybe there's a majority that "sets the standard" in a sense, though. I wouldn't know.

I am INTP-T, but I am not sure about the T. I do have anxiety but it only hits sometimes and there are long times when I don't feel it.
Well. I did the test and it says I am INTP-A.
I suppose it is because I don't rely on my emotions much. The anxiety is there but it's just an emotion, not thoughts. Even when I am freaking out and saying stuff like "I am worthless and I wasted my life" somewhere deep inside I know it's just emotional BS. I wish I could just take some pill to shut the anxiety because the anxiety isn't me. When anxiety hits the real me gets stuck and some actor comes out, repeating what stupid things she heard about how the world works despite me not really believing that. I would be pretty successful and definitely happy if anxiety wouldn't hit me so strong. When it hits its like my body is malfunctioning and brain gets clouded.
I wonder if the test would give different result if I was under anxiety while taking it? Possible, because I would maybe feed it the BS thats on my mind then. But it's also possible the real me would answer instead because I can get easily distracted from anxiety by getting focused on something - and a test would act as decent distraction.
Oh. Wait.
The detailed result says I am 55% Assertive 45% Turbulent. So I guess I am just in the middle between T and A - all depends on my mood.
I also scored 45% Extraverted 55% Introverted. I wonder if it is related somehow with the A-T or just a funny coincidence. And I wonder if I might be able to test as ENTP one day... It doesn't sound impossible. If small talk didn't bore me(not enough brain food/information, I am thinking much faster than anybody can talk so I prefer to read and write stuff) and if I wasn't so prone to sensory overload I might be an extrovert. But I believe I am Ti-dom more than Ne-dom.
Edit.
If anybody is interested in what MBTI type is most common in the forum (without A/T) here is an old survey with 547 answers. It's bugged (doubled answers glitch, I don't know how it exactly works but it might affect the results) but the results are:
INTJ 16+19=25%
INTP 10+12=22%
ISTJ 6+7=13%
INFP 4+5=9%
INFJ 3+4=7%
ISTP 2+2=4%
ISFJ, ENTJ, ENTP, ENFJ 1+1=2%
ESFP, ENFP 0+1=1%
ESTP 0%, 2 votes
ESFJ 0%, 0 votes
