Now to find Aspie Kid’s FB page. Long comments are very welcome. The gifted label seems to mask a lot in the eyes of the professionals (if not necessarily in every day life). If you’re interested in statistics or how tests like this are developed, you’ll love the Aspie Quiz Evaluation page. I know that the quiz has been updated recently and with the Asperger’s label being dropped from the diagnostic manuals, the creators likely are trying to use more inclusive language. Your Aspie score: 186 of 200 Whereas they are now Early evaluation is a great thing, even if only to rule something out. Inconclusive – both Aspie and NT traits. In times when I haven’t had a lot of stress, I’ve functioned as an informal leader, taking care of people and suchlike. I have trouble filling out forms like this though, like I maybe think too hard about the questions? Scheduled to see a GP today for proper testing. I think I’m deeply in burnout and I don’t know how to resolve, would like to get a diagnosis but the process, even to find a person who could help me with that seems overwhelming and confusing, and TBH I’m a little embarrassed to talk to my husband because while I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad trait cluster I think the stigma is high enough that he’ll be resistant- his brother is almost certainly diagnosed aspie and probably the only reason he knows how to deal with me better than everyone else. I got a 170/200 neuro-diverse, 49/200 neuro-typical. And the spider-web graphics for this were very nice Thanks for sharing! I am sure they get people all the time who read something online and have diagnosed themselves with something or other. Family progress! For more information on the Aspie Quiz, have a look at: Aspie Quiz, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Dating, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Egocentrism, Facial expressions, Hypersensitivity, Hyposensitivity, Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), Paraphilias, Relationships, Routine, Social skills, Special interests, Stimming, Verbal communication. Several of these as well as earlier publications ascribed some value to the AQ although mostly raising points of criticism as well (surprise, surprise). I shall look into the Neanderthals! I purchased the book. My husband calls me a human calculator. I though being on the autistic spectrum meant you were a maths genius, spent all day drawing skyscrapers (for a month maybe, I’d get bored after that) and was a an emotionless robot who couldn’t empathise with anyone. It is a spectrum after all. I’m a 45 year old British woman who emigrated to USA 13 years ago, and after reading the last comment posted recently, I answered the questions as I am today, after many years semi-successfully learning/adopting “correct” social rules and norms. Knowing what I do about autism in general, I was able to place a lot of events and behaviors I hadn’t thought were atypical. I’m neurodivergent – a group of people who are autistic, bipolar, OCD, have Tourette’s, ADHD, etc. Like I am naive. It did help that one of the younger generation has been diagnosed – that opened a door when that happened. I was always a loner, a reader and a collector. I have Klinefelter’s syndrome, though. , That’s fantastic news! Change ). Fucking gaslighting. They found that no single difference can provide good discrimination between groups, but instead there is … ND: 154 | NT: 46 | “You are very likely neurodiverse.” | 20 y.o. But apart from me, there’s my older bro, my dad, his bro, his sister, and one of my cousins who are (to me) obviously on the spectrum. I can never seem to say/write anything personal briefly and concisely. Well, like so many other people on the spectrum. i told him, actually, I wasn’t looking at anything. Is there such thing as an aspie who learnt to adapt and act extremely well and becomes even better at noticing emotions and communicate than some of the regular individuals?…. One article I found which was very interesting and useful can be found here: http://taniaannmarshall.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/moving-towards-a-female-profile-the-unique-characteristics-abilities-and-talents-of-asperwomen-adult-women-with-asperger-syndrome/?preview=true&preview_id=1196&preview_nonce=28e488b442&post_format=standard. Stay up to date with our latest postsby subscribing to our mailing list. I hope you’ll continue to comment as you see fit on the testing post (or any others). There is a short explanation about the “hunting” questions in the detailed quiz results, tying the questions to cooperative vs. passive hunting traits. I’m a bit stuck with what to I should do now as I thought if I pushed myself to socialise more one day a switch would be flicked and I wouldn’t feel like a performing dog anymore and it seems that’ll never happen. ( Log Out / I took the online tests many times before I started to accept that I might be on the spectrum. On the WAIS-V at age 18, I scored a 150 for verbal, but overall was 132. . But for the first time ever, when I read your blog posts, I can UNDERSTAND every word, my brain doesn’t get distracted, and I not only full sentences but complete paragraphs without wandering off. At any rate, I’m never bored with reading people’s stories because I still remember those early days and how perplexing it was. But it seems possible, now I’ve read all this, to show Aspergers-like characteristics without being a mathematic whiz, and while still maintaining close relationships with select family and friends, don’t you think? You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traits. You’ll find a “subtype” of autism that is very much like what you’re describing here. You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie), My results: The Aspie Quiz is made up of 150 questions that fall into six domains: talent, compulsion, social, perception, communication and hunting. Spanish version of Aspie Quiz, my score: Aspie 140/200, neurotypal: 77/200. But I suppose I’ve been studying a lot of psychology etc… so that would bias some of the results from my natural state. It’s good to know that I can at least help people out a little by writing and listening and replying. I never know when people don’t like me and I alswys think my husband is mad at me or yelling at me. Um… Hi! Thanks in advance and sorry for the bother! The Aspie Quiz is not used in any official diagnostic capacity and is billed as a test to be taken for fun, but you’ll often find aspies quoting their scores in their signatures at places like Wrong Planet. Darn. How horrible for a pastor’s wife. The Aspie Quiz does as well, but it’s based on two scores, meaning the ratio is more significant than either individual score. But reading these comments and posts has shown me that there are people out there with families and lives that differ enormously from one to the next, and Aspergers affects everyone in different ways. Triathlon training is chugging along nicely – 3 weeks to go and I feel great, if a bit worn out. Communication: 6,5 & 6,5. Curiously I’ve been completely unable to convince my dad about my own Aspie tendencies – his fixed and unshakeable opinion is “you’re outgoing, like your mother” – well she was outgoing compared to my dad, but that’s not saying much, and I’m very nearly the biggest hermit I know! Hello, I’m new to all this…diagnosed with severe social anxiety, OCD, and various other things, but never Asperger’s. Anyway, sorry for rambling. thank you! In my experience, there _is_ an obvious link between AS and interest in animals, that SOMETIMES is expressed as interest in immitating animals, sometimes in trapping, holding or hunting them. I read all of your “Adult Diagnosis” series, which has been extremely helpful. I totally understand that you may want to keep your scores private but if you would like to share I would be really interested to see what other people score. The Aspie hunting group was merged with Aspie communication, the NT hunting group was merged with NT talents. Besides, several psychometric tests need to be done to conclusively indicate or rule out autism. As such it’s full of questions that relate to theories about how neanderthals hunted and formed social bonds, much of which seems to be misconstruing sensory issues like oversensitive hearing, visual stimming (flowing water), proprioceptive stimming (toe walking) and motor clumsiness/dyspraxia as evidence of hunting like a neanderthal rather than a homo sapian. I thought it would be higher. You could not forlorn going like books amassing or library or borrowing from your links to entre them. quite sure I was not on the spectrum, but rather just one of those HSP types, compounded by Social Anxiety. I did the AQ test and scored 33, just above the cutoff at 32. But all of what you describe is familiar to me. As understood, expertise does not recommend that you have astounding points. You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie), found your site yesterday, took this quiz this morning. With two kids on the spectrum, there’s a good chance that you may be too. Thank you. I don’t know, could that have anything to do with this? It has been very interesting reading everyone’s comments and your posts. You’d be surprised how many parents make the same discovery about themselves after a child is diagnosed. And mistaking sounds for voices…interesting. Despite its questionable grounding in science, the rdos test does appear to identify a difference between neurotypicals and aspies. I am not in the least bit amused and make a note to put the bin out myself tomorrow so my other half won’t feel silly! I just decided to seek a professional diagnosis because I notice my kid and boss have worked around my issues — I would just like to be able to cope without people having to work around me. Like mistaking sounds for voices a lot. No worries about the length of your comment. I’m on the younger side, and trying to figure out how to tell my parents about my suspicions. The Aspie score tells you how high you scored on items indicative of Asperger’s traits. I think if you read the blogs of adult with AS, especially women your age, you might find traits that you can relate better to. ^_^. For those who do not wish to look for it in his post, here it is: Aspie and proud! And it turns out that they actually don’t. This is an interactive online Asperger’s test for Adults. | Musings of an Aspie, I Think I Might Be Autistic (Part 2) « Musings of an Aspie, http://www.rdos.net/eng/poly12c.php?p1=83&p2=66&p3=65&p4=93&p5=72&p6=61&p7=70&p8=76&p9=64&p10=53&p11=75&p12=46, http://www.rdos.net/eng/poly12c.php?p1=97&p2=97&p3=97&p4=96&p5=85&p6=98&p7=90&p8=92&p9=51&p10=63&p11=80&p12=70, http://www.aspergerstestsite.com/75/autism-spectrum-quotient-aq-test/, http://ubuntuone.com/0EkMJzCQ0uXpVbz3ZjtaP0, Taking the Aspergers Quiz | Musings of an Aspie, http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0075236, This is kind of neat. (Seconding, also, the comment above that the test assumes heterosexuality, which is quite uncomfortable to read.) I’m facinated by it. Not all autistic people necessarily score above the threshold on each test. I am 68 years old, a retired teacher. Working memory and spatial were in the 95th percentile, and one of the processing was my lowest at 33rd percentile. I wish mine were as clear cut. Just like you wrote somewhere, though some aspects of life are quite difficult for me, I wouldn’t want to be different. Uhhh, ooohhh, clarifying note necessary on second thought! When I took the test back in 2008, my Aspie score was 122, and my NT score was 78. Oooh I should say that I have two children – my beautiful son who is on the spectrum (officially!) Compulsive: 3,5 & 2. you are very likely an aspie. How interesting! Perception: 6 & 7 On the first day when I went to a boarding kindergarten at age of 1 I was comforting other kids who are crying lol. Talent: 9 & 6,5. The more comprehensive 150-question Rdos Aspie Quiz, based on the controversial Neanderthal Theory, generates an in-depth report, and offers insight into the many different areas affected by Asperger’s syndrome. My idea of emotional support is rarely in tune with what the other person needs, though I’m finally making some progress in that area, I think. My score would probably be higher if I answered disregarding my adult adaptations. Thank you for sharing your detailed scores. When I first took the aspie quiz, there were some questions that I was certain didn’t apply to me until I read more about autism in adults. I haven’t taken it yet but when I do, I’ll make a new post to include all of the changes. That’s such a huge advantage. I figured out that I can tweet my graph! And not knowing what to do on the telephone. Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 147 of 200 BTW, my devil’s advocate wife (in everything I bring up), responded when I recently told her what my suspicions were, “of course” and went on to explain ways to tell me why I was likely with an ASD. . I seriously consider to invite some professional filers to come and declutter my office! You scored really high on the aspie perception and talent scales but low in many of the other areas, so that might be something to consider in interpreting your scores. The new group scores have also recently been updated and now use factor loadings from confirmative factor analysis. Reading that other people have experienced the same things is comforting and I look forward to reading more. . Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 53 of 200 I’d like to mention that you pointed me toward the AQ-10 in my post about it. I got 161 / 200 on the Aspie score, which does not surprise my wife. But I see their commments as stereotyped and quite frankly nonsensical! . I’m glad you’ve found a way to get evaluated – self-advocacy is so important, even though it can be hard and demoralizing to keep encountering people who buy into the old stereotypes about autism. Now that my daughter is five years old, I am increasingly having to deal with Other Parents. Same here, when I discovered blogs written by autistic adults I spent the next 4 days not sleeping and reading everything from start to finish. Really…. With the exception of one green squash a couple of weeks ago, all I’m getting are tiny little squash that turn yellow and wither. well i did it cause However, on the graph, the intellectual side was all Aspie, but no where near as much as yours. I could get a false positive for the latter, if the question was answered badly since I talk alound, and I here ‘my own’ voice giving a running cometry of what I am doing. I was the same way. It just got to be too hard to ignore. I just finished taking that quiz you mentioned and my scores were indicative of this as well. Here they are: Finally, our adult daughter volunteered to share her results as well: As you can see, I scored much higher on the aspie items and much lower on the NT items, while The Scientist and our daugther scored quite high on the neurotypical items and lower on the aspie items. Took the Aspie Quiz (v3), too. Here is how I scored… Your Aspie score: 121 of 200 185 from 200 :/. You don’t need to register if you prefer not to. I guess? It took me a while to accept that. I’ve just take the Aspie Quiz. It all makes so much sense but I keep thinking perhaps im wrong,I mean doesnt everybody do those things/think like that ect. I’m so thankful for your blog. Rdos has also written about how the Aspie Quiz compares to the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) test, which has high validity as a diagnostic instrument. I got told that was a self esteem problem. I have been reading all your posts but not commenting beyond the once (or twice), though am very interested in all the issues you cover. And the thing about that list is that a lot of these behaviours and feelings seem completely unrelated to each other. I came across this test some time ago and have taken it several times over a period of about 2 years. In school, the principal and teachers thought I was retarded, because I didn’t really look at anyone, I fiddled with my hands, I became distracted easily, etc. We are good at some things and some types of thinking and poor at others. To this day I play strategy games by myself and use them to understand how the world works. Yeah, it took me a long time to get to option three. There are good things to be said about that (we’re all very good at being independent and looking after ourselves) and bad (we probably don’t know how to be any other way). I took the test just for fun as I am/was (?) So in that sense, usual sex became boring and repetative, so I answered yes I like unusual sex….
