Hello and AQ Test

John C

Hello, I’m new here. About a year ago I took the AQ test and scored in the 40’s. I’ve taken it several times since and have gotten lower score but I think the very lowest was 33. What are the chances I’m on the spectrum? The last being 37.  I’m 62yrs old so there is no answer that is going to rock my world as I’m very set in my ways. The cost of a formal diagnosis is more than I’d care to pay. Any sincere input would be appreciated. Thanks, John

  • Maybe a bit more context? I believe I stim quite a bit. Always counting in the background, I used to drum and tap fingers a lot but went underground with it as it drove my parents crazy. In fact a lot of my stimming is counting but with textile slight movement that doesn’t get noticed because I don’t want the attention. I may not have explained that well but maybe someone can relate? Slightly? There’s more. But I don’t want to go on if none of this is ringing a bell. Thanks.
