Asperger's Meme


Your Score: Unaffected


Result: 13. Your score isn't an achievement, it just is.


Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. You scored less than 32. Make your own assessment of that

My test tracked 1 variable
How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 99% on points

I'm curious how I would have scored in High School when I didn't want to talk to anyone and would rather spend time alone?

OK Mr. Wheeler. Your turn.

I scored a 24, myself. That puts me midway between the statistical average and the full-on autistic, if I'm reading this right. Which doesn't really surprise me, actually.
