I just came across this test today. Passed it easily.

Should I now question my autism diagnosis? lol. Then again, I wasn't diagnosed until age 29.

I'd sure like to find some higher order tests that I could try. But, when googling, I haven't been very successful at finding anything.
:(

It's because autism "doesn't exist" in adults :roll: .

I came across this test several months after I was diagnosed, it didn't pose a single problem for me but I identify with the difficulty it would have given a much younger version of myself. My specialist certainly informed me I have significant issues with theory of mind, an old therapist also suggested something along these lines many times even though we did not discuss autism. I remember feeling astonished when a friend told me he didn't like beans on toast once when he was around my house, I was gobsmacked, I was sure EVERYONE ate beans on toast. Realizing that others hold their own perspectives on the world that I had to accept as valid was like hauling myself up a five hundred foot high greased pole without using my thumbs, I didn't know I was impaired all that time, the confusion grew fainter and dwindled to acceptance of the clearer threads as time wore on but it bleeds into many areas where there are multiple routes to a goal or countless hues to bask within buried in the heady hedgerows of the minds of my fellow humans. When you can't say 'this is correct because of such and such', I can't understand a lot of what other people believe in but I've came to the conclusion there's sure as hell plenty who will feel that way about me, gotta allow free passage of thought either way. On the damn doll, at this point I'm not going to pretend I can't work out that a doll staring dead eyed from a completely different vantage point is seeing what I see unless it borrowed my eyeballs when I wasn't paying attention then put them back lol.
