I have counted 53 which apply to me, including the last one
Feel free to add your score, discuss any of the items or suggest new additions to the list.
I got about 34. I don't have an exact score as I felt some of the questions weren't entirely clear or easily quantifiable. Most of the ones I did get seemed to be applicable to many allistics (shy people, social phobics, trauma survivors, or just plain introverts).
This is the kind of thing which makes me worry they're going to come and take away my autism card one day, by which I mean, there's a lot on this list, and elsewhere on this forum, that doesn't fit me at all, even though everyone seems to think "This is autism!" I don't like animals, for example. Actually, I'm mostly scared of them and avoid them, although I do quite like watching them from a distance. I can "pass" pretty well, I'm not obviously routine-bound to an outsider, at least until there's a sudden change of plan, and I don't have sensory super-powers, or any other super-powers. I feel like these kinds of lists are more about making autistics understand and feel good about themselves than actually providing reliable alternative diagnostic guidelines. That's not a bad thing, but I think it's something to be aware of, particularly as I, and presumably people like me, would probably be judged allistic by these criteria. My autism just doesn't manifest in the way this list thinks it "should."
As Autonomistic said - this is just a bit of fun.....as with any online test, always take with a large pinch of salt. Diagnosing an autistic mind is not a "list based activity"....it's more akin to divination!
