As far as I know, I am not autistic. I was curious though and took the test. I am just depressed, among other problems. Also in therapy for that. So that is reflected in the results. I also got the message “Your autism symptoms are low”.
Thanks for the link though! I will forward it to an aquaitance of mine who is wondering whether they might be autistic. They already booked an appointment with specialists in order to investigate that.
Similar; I was just curious and took it. Though I have a sibling that is diagnosed autistic, and I’m kinda wanting to be evaluated for it. I suffer from depression + anxiety, hard (and a lot of these questions I was like “that depends on the context”) and I’ve been in a much, much worse mental state than I am currently. So those values make sense, the rest are kind of “huh… interesting”.
Yes, it’s not encouraged for people with other mental disorders to seek autism diagnosis because of how likely those people are to get a false positive for autism.

This is what I usually link people to: https://psychology-tools.com/test/autism-spectrum-quotient
I got around 86% on that test, these tests are not good do to people having mental illness, as they will go down a rabbit hole and act out ASD.
Is there a basis in reality for that? It was created by Baron-Cohen, who knows his stuff.
