Autism is a spectrum.

That means some people are more autistic than others.

That means you can win autism, let's goooooo!

I prefer these tests to have a sliding scale answer, rather than true or false.

I feel like I still struggle tremendously with interpersonal relationships and in some ways my job always puts me on a weird spot.

I probably would struggle, but I keep pretty exclusively to people I've known for 20 years that are already used to my bullshit.

Nice!

I remedied it by factually keeping nobody around me.

Agreed, having only true and never true makes these sound like leading questions

Some of the questions in the survey seem to be repeats of other questions, albeit worded in a slightly different way, so the answers are probably skewed. If this was a more nuanced set of questions, with a scale for answering, I suspect my score might be somewhat higher.

...not autistic. ...not a perfect test. there are many conditions other than autism that might result in those answers.

>>1190166

...seems to be a new testing paradigm. i noticed there were other tests available to help clarify these results, such as testing for camouflaging, which would result in a lower score than expected on this test or for potentially co-occurring conditions (which i assume might skew the results higher). interesting, tho

No test is perfect, and even the site this was on had a fair amount of criticism for the test.    There is no threshold at which you definitely do or definitely do not have autism according to this test.  Generally I would say that the results I've seen so far are like pretty accurate if the results are taken as a likelihood of the presence of autism.

A lot of my own anxiety does center around what makes a person on the spectrum in the first place.
Is autism really a thing? Or is everyone just built a bit weird anyway.

It always follows into how much you can blame weirdness on your autism.
Do other people have to take your autism into account when interacting with you? Or can they just yell at you to behave normally for once?

My computer crashed and ate my paper.

In summary, though:  Everyone is not a bit weird, everyone is a lot weird, but people tend to assume that everyone is very similar up until the point that it causes problems, so they're all completely unaware of the fact that no one is particularly similar.

As a result, people really want the people who are very obviously weird, like autists, to stop being weird.  But there's no particular cause or cure to point at when it comes to autism, because the weirdness is actually very normal and common to the entire population, just it has manifested in the rest of the population in an even less obvious way.
