The "Aspie quiz" that shows typical & atypical traits

Lotus

Recently Kefka posted his results of what I know as "The Aspie quiz" and Uhane requested a link to it, so I have copied the link below (hope it works)

https://embrace-autism.com/aspie-quiz/

This test results in a 10 sided chart, showing how strong your atypical (autistic) and typical (neurotypical) traits are, which I find really interesting. For an example, here is my result:

This matches my my attention to detail, pattern recognition and special interests (high atypical talent) and my need for predictability and my hypersensitivity (high atypical perception). I have what is maybe an unusual communication score for someone on the spectrum, however this is an ability to interpret and display typical non verbal communication - not as I originally thought, being ok at conversation. (Verbal communication is in the talent section of the typical side of the graph)

I have a question about this test - does anyone know if it is used anywhere for formal diagnosis?

  • Here is mine again. 
    yesterday I also made RAADS-5 and I got 170 points. Funny thing I had to Google the true meaning of some English proverbs to see what they actually mean because I didn’t know them. For me having a heart on a sleeve means absolutely no more or less than having a picture of a heart on your sleeve, but now as adult I know it’s not meant to be understood literally. I know quite many proverbs in my language. When I was a kid I used to take absolutely literally and they didn’t make any sense for me.
    It’s interesting to see all the different shapes here.
