What do people make of the online Asperger questionaire tests? Are there any that you see as credible? Not as a conclusive diagnostic tool but just a useful tool.
I found this one:
Does anyone know of any more and what do they think of the one above.
Hmmmm... When it asks about enjoying fiction: Does scifi count as fiction, therefore, yes? But I don't read any non-scifi fiction at all, therefore, no...?
Jon said:I wasn't really sure about some of the questions though:
- 23. I notice patterns in things all the time. I am not sure what this means. If its to do with numbers then I don't think so.
Numbers is another question. I think this one means other patterns: For example, today I stared at a large ad on the bus, and the background image was rows and columns of 20x10 shoes, shot from 3 angles and mirrored; there were only 6 different shoes overall, so each shoe occured several times, and the rows were symmetrical, etc... No clue what the ad was selling, I only looked at the background...
Many printed things (tiles, bus seat covers, plastic bags, wallpapers, textiles) have repeating patterns, it's a fun game to find their base tile, but if I were a superhero, my cryptonite would be Penrose Tiles... 
I can make a suggestion as to why your score got higher. Its becasue you undersatnd yourself more. Until you really look at yourself you have years of overlays and adaptations that you use to 'fit in' or explain yourself. As you become more familiar with your 'condition' you allow yourself to see things more clearly.
Oh. That's actually quite a good theory. The first time I took it, I didn't get the point of half the questions, and often chose "slightly". I took it again and again over the last decade, and chose "definitely" more and more often...
PS: I oscillate between 33 and 44.
PPS: Re 45, neurotypicals often claim that they can "see right though" someone, and they say "I know what you are going to say", or "you won't do that" etc, even if they are wrong they insist they usually get it right...
