Got linked to a aspergers test on fb which I found interesting, realised about halfway through a lot of the answers I was giving would be the ones that would suggest aspergers. In the end it turned out I didn't score too highly on the aspergers scale but some of the questions made me think about how I act and stuff.

Are you somewhat of a daydreamer, often lost in your own thoughts?
Do people think you are aloof and distant?
Are you easily distracted?
Do your feelings cycle regulary between hopelessness and extremely high confidence?

Don't know if other people would consider me aloof and distant but I definitely feel like I am sometimes. Not sure what causes the bottom one but I get that all the time. Anyway those are the questions which had me wondering if I was about to be diagnosed. It's a long one but I found it interesting so you should all do it.

My results and link to test
Your Aspie score: 47 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 169 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical

I wouldn't really say that these are signs of Asperbers or autism at all. could just as easily be depression or a number of other things.

i had a roommate with Asperber's in college. his social skills were essentially non existent. A person with Autism or Asperber's usually doesn't understand emotion very well

How many of these social situations are there? Do I need to tell this thing any more times that letting people die is bad?

Edit: there's 12.

Your Aspie score: 53 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 154 of 200
You are very likely neurotypical


Not sure how accurate this is though, it seems to confuse being introverted with having autism. They're linked, but can be completely isolated. Autism is more about a lack of empathy.

that's sociopathism. Autism is more of a lack of all emotion.

Figures. Although there are lots of problems with any test that's based on self perception.


Although looking at the graph (which frustratingly won't embed) I may have gotten the best of both worlds Razz as I have high neurotypical communication and high aspie talent.

I thought aspergers was officially not a thing anymore. Have they not started using autism for aspergers?

It's definitely still a thing. Autism is a bit more extreme than Aspergers. A lot of people live with Aspergers for a long time without knowing.

like everyone on BEA apparently

Heh. 145. I'm aware I have asperger characteristics, but I don't think it's too strong.
