RAADS-R Diagnostic Scale

I disagree...I think she is quite striking?  Certainly more memorable and readily recallable than most humans.

I think the problem is that all three look like unremarkable faces, if you see what I mean.

Try measuring the distance apart of the eyes, and between the nose and mouth, then you might see the difference. But I don't like it being called wrong because some people do have faces like that and it isn't wrong! So NT to call differences wrongness!

Was it the one with just eyes? I kept that link as I emailed it to my Dad and my friend.

My Dad scored OK but took an autistic amount of time to do it, my friend has not got round to it yet. I could not do them all! I did the ones I could, found I had already taken an autistic amount of time, didn't even get all those right and didn't do half of them! That was my moment of absolute certainty on my self diagnosis,

I am boggled that most people can just look at those eyes and get the emotion right most of the time! To me most of them just looked like eyes with no particular emotion, just eyes. Scary! The thought that most humans have this secret way of communicating that I was totally unaware even existed, and can't understand. And what am I inadvertently saying with my eyes?!

My husband also took a long time and got most of them wrong. I am starting to wonder if he is autistic too but he is resisting the idea.

I still can't see anything wrong with them.  

I could not tell at a glance! After treating it as a spot the difference puzzle I spotted one had the mouth slightly raised. After longer examining I eventually saw the eyes being closer together on one. I agree that if either of those was the person's natural face they ought not to be described as wrong! I think they are only wrong in that they were done by photo editing.

That's got to be the hardest 'spot the difference' puzzle ever invented 

I always remember my mum telling me that the continuity person, when it comes to films & tv, is so often a woman.  

I don’t think you need to be sad about that. For me it’s like playing spot the difference. I’m that annoying one watching the film saying her hair wasn’t like that in the last angle, look it’s changed again! Or I notice clothes if they’re hanging off the shoulder, then when you see it from another angle it’s on the shoulder. Bad editing and producing, but if they got me to make a film it would probably take twice as long

Wait, what? This question makes no sense to me at all. I could see that the faces were different, although admittedly not really what was different, but to describe two of them as wrong? How can a face be wrong? I'm so confused 

All the faces looked the same to me, Zoe.  

I could see both the eyes and lips, because I notice detail, probably too much. I actually see peoples faces as broken up into a separate parts and not as a whole, and sometimes think the human face is incredibly weird. But that’s looking at the TV or photos online, there’s no way I could study someone’s face while they were in front of me! 

Yes, you're completely right, I think.

Also 126. I'm an extrovert who loves to study people though, so I imagine that skews my answers somewhat lol

Have you received your report yet?

I don’t think my score was surprising to me. I’m really rubbish at the whole social aspect. But I agree there is a problem with the answers, on some questions at least. Like the prefer to go to a restaurant to eat alone - I’d prefer not to go to a restaurant at all, but if I had to go to satisfy the questions I wouldn’t want to go alone because I can’t cope with places I don’t know, so I’d have to take one of my kids, not a friend as I don’t have any. But others related to me so much that I didn’t even have to think about it. 

In my opinion, all three faces are perfectly reasonable and "normal.". I can see that one could be readily described as having a higher mouth, but the eyes difference between the other two faces is pretty indistinguishable.

There was another thread a few months back with understanding the emotions of faces.....can someone clever find the link?

I think that's correct.

I don't really 'get' these types of tests so don't try them.

Too ambiguous ...

Yes, exactly.

Hopefully, I only struggled because those three faces are not obviously 'wrong' to the sight. I mean, if one or more had eyes that were, say, three times larger than I'm used to seeing then this would have stood out.

I'd have found myself pondering so long on the meaning of the word 'wrong' in this context that I would have found it impossible to take the test.

Further, I never can understand the meaning of this type of picture but here it is anyway:

'Your broader autism cluster (Aspie) score: 136 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 46 of 200
You are very likely on the broader autism cluster (Aspie)'
