My ASD is getting more real. IQ test result( did you take one?)

[Iamnotarabot]

Just a little update, I already told you that I didnt realy feel like I belong here yet because I have not been throught an official diagnosis yet.

But I have done an IQ test and the results are clear...Well I will update with the precise results later because I didnt take the paper my therapist gave me today ( dont ask why kek) and I want to share that with you now.

I could have done better it is like 100% sure because I was super stressed out and I felt like I had a knife in my head at some point ( one of the strongest headhache iv ever had and it was nost just during the test it started the day of the test, and it was worst during the test.)so I couldnt even do some exercices and I litteraly gave up on some of them...

I also had some miss interpretation in one exercice because I didnt have clear instruction so I didnt understand that the point of the exercice was to go as fast as I could...


That being said, It wouldnt have change that much in my opinion, maybe I would have had a few more point in each category but what truly matter is the bigger picture.

I have more than 140 in the verbal area(that's a bit counter untuitive.); and around 80 in the performance area , a also a very bad score at the visual area,( because of the headhache but pff i guess I would have failed anyway.)

overall my score is 102 but its totally meaningless ( I cant use that score anyway because I have to much differences ), and my anxiety that forced me to double check and doubt on anything I do and my headhache had an impact on it for sure somehow.

But apparently this is a typical result for someone with HFA , This is what I found online and this is what my therapist told me because she uses an IQ test for all her patient and its always similar. But this time is was like a bit more exagerated.

I am somehow reassured, because this is the first time my therapist uses something else than my own claims to make her diagnosis.

She also thinks I have ADD but in her opinion ADD in people with ASD is not the typical ADD, that is from her experience but she says that people with ASD will show traits similar to ADD but not caused by pure ADD but by what ASD is( not sure if im clear )

So did you do an IQ test? were the results unbalanced like that?

I've heard that, too, that ASD gives a spiky looking result. Both times I was evaluated for ASD I was asked to do an IQ test and both were uneven, and test previous were, too. I am in the 28 percentile for working memory! I think my overall scores have been between 109 and 126, not sure (I've taken quite a few over the years, starting in elementary.) It's pretty meaningless other than the unevenness and knowing that for some reason I have poor working memory. At least in IQ test context.

Well outside of IQ test situation, I'm always the guy that didnt understand the rule of the new card game we play with my friends for instance xD ( at some point the informations said verbally just dont get in my head anymore)

So precisely my results are :

ICV 141
IRP 86
IMT 109
IVT 72
QIT 105

I dont know if someone comfortable with all of this can say something about it or if its remind this person of his own test, but i am sure that many things ruined the test to some degree.( stress and some unclear instruction, noise and light and this omega level headhache.)

I took an official IQ test last October, but I still don't know the official result and probably never will, except I do know that contrary to popular belief I am NOT a retarded idiot.

Why are you saying you will never get the results? I thought the same because I took my test on the 19th of march and at some point I also thought I would never get it.

If you took the test in the public system I guess It will take a lot of time , I was a little upset when I got the result and I asked why It took so long they told me they were basically overwhelmed with work and I am seeing a private therapist so I guess one year in a public system is unfortunatly possible...

Do you remember it? I feel like I always knew I would have some kind of unbalanced results like that, when I took the test some part of it I felt I was insulting because it was realy realy easy to me and other I just didnt have a clue on how to do it so that was already forshadowing the results^^'

But I didnt say that to my therapist because I dont want to be pretentious or anything like that...


And other parts of the test realy challenged me because I simply had to do some easy calculation but in my entiere life Iv never done any long calculation on my head I always used a piece of paper , so it dragged down my results but in real life I would be able to do that 3 time faster with a paper.
