I'm trying to get myself to a point where I can go to the doctor and ask for a referall for a diagnosis. I decided to start by writing down all the reasons I think I am autistic. I wanted to include the AQ test result. I find some of the long AQ test questions (50 questions) difficult to answer.
For example:
Having written this I've concluded that I'm probably really over thinking this but I like things to be right. Anyone else had an issue with the AQ test? Any advice?
The test gives a broad range of answers, I think. A lot of mine were 'Definitely' or 'Definitely Not'. The ones where it was more problematic, such as those you've mentioned, I answered less definitively.
There is a shorter test, too. The AQ 10. Try that...
AQ 10 Test
I just find the slightly agree and slightly disagree a bit weird and cant decide which way to go. I want there to be a middle answer. Either way the score comes over 33 so I don't think I actually need to stress about it. I just want it to be as honest as possible. Just looked at the 10 one. That makes it a lot more definite. There is only one I'm not sure on on that test and that would bring my score down to a 9. Hmmm.
