I made an account here as I wanted to find out more about autism, especially if I may be autistic.
I mostly read here and only posted once since then.
In parallel, among other things, I did take some psychometric tests from the site Embrace Autism | The ultimate autism resource.
I am diagnosed with ADHD and can identify with it as well. However, to my surprise, the ASRS v1.1 (ADHD test) was under the threshold.
On the other hand, I reached the threshold on the following tests: AQ, EQ, RAADS-R, RBQ-2A, and TEQ.
I did not reach the threshold on the following tests: CAT-Q and SQ.
The Aspie quiz was inconclusive (the 2 scores were less than 35pt apart).
If I went just by the tests, I would say there is a high chance I'm autistic.
Because of that, I'm curious about how this community sees the reliability and accuracy of those tests?
Is it common to score high on many of them and not be autistic, or is this rare or even impossible?
