Aspie Tests (RAADS, AQ etc)

[Sarah S]

Woah, thank you for the exhaustive answer!

That's just weird cuz my score was 189-194 every time. But I don't think it would be that severe...

Youre very wellcome and sorry for the confusion

How do you think i reacted when i found out im Level 3

And as in both our cases you also have to count in ADHD (and in my cases a gazilion other co morbid diagnosis on top of that )

I just re-did the a few of the tests being harsher on my scores to get them lower. Ie where I had doubt I went further towards NT.

The result my AQ went from 38 to 40!
RAAD-s when from 138 to 158.

Tad confused by that!

Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 119 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 91 of 200
You seem to have both neurodiverse and neurotypical traits
Saw this topic and thought it was interesting to take a test as well.
Best or worst of both worlds i guess Makes sense with a PDD-NOS diagnose.

I've done these tests several times. Always aspie. Actually found a test I did back I 2012... Aspie it said.

No official diagnosis though. My work's psychologist said that I am doing too fine to get into proper tests.

I've taken a few others and pretty much every single one comes up with a score for probable autism - I don't have an official diagnosis however.

Never been diagnosed, this test gives me a hope that I'm a neurotypical.

I don't have an official diagnosis however.

It is quite hard to get, I think that if one is high functioning, it is very hard to get even tested, as the test resources are saved for those who are in more desperate need.

In fact, high functioning autism is not a disease. Neurotypicals are also not good at all areas and not interested in everything. Many neurotypicals also struggle to make friendships or are clumsy or have low emotional intelligence. And in last, there is not a clear boarder between "normal" and "autistic" interests.

Cant argue but the fact that autism is propably not a disease at all. Differeant wiring for sure.

The issue is that assumptions are made about how "high functioning" you are based on factors such as employment, presence of relationships, living independently, ability to mask, etc. The issue that causes is that, in the absence of autism (because you're too "high functioning" for that diagnosis) you're likely to get assigned one or more diagnoses that don't address the root of the problem and may be given treatment that is not helpful or even harmful.

So it's really important to understand a person's neurology when trying to treat them, even if that neurology in and of itself doesn't rise to the level of "disorder".
