Someone said to me that I may be on this spectrum, but I am curious as to whether this is just because of sz. I reckon that if enough people here test for it, then perhaps it’s just the link that people associate with sz, and not a diagnosis on its own.
I am not sure, lets see on the poll what this test says!
I did the quiz and i came out as someone who doesn’t have autism. However, i’ve had pdoc’s make suggestions that i do because when i’m talking to them, i don’t always make eye contact. However, i don’t look people in the eye because i’m frightened they can read my mind, not because i physically can’t look someone in the eye.
I scored 22. I have been told i have autism, which was later turned into something like “you have autistic traits, as we all do, but no autism”. I think i indeed have some autistic traits. It is kind of suspect that about 50% of the people i like/love/date are either diagnosed with autism or should be.
I have wondered…read that women with autism arent similarly affected as men with autism. E.g. i read when it comes to social skills, they say autistic girls score worse than average girls, similar to average boys and better than autistic boys and their brains look most like those of average boys too.
I have heard it can be. I think some people can get confused with sz as well because it gives you a hit socially. Some things are a bit similar but you can tell if someone has autism.
Not maintaining eye contact is a widely reported behavior of those who have sz. I think it’s even in Torrey?? I make a point of looking people in the eye but it’s one of those things. It’s common you don’t due to various reasons.
I can make eye contact if I feel it’s necessary, but then I’m wondering if I’m not making enough or too much (crazee eyez!). It’s too damn much work if you ask me. Conversations via email and Web forums are much more civilized.
yeah it’s something I make a point of but it’s just that. I think I generally don’t and have to point it out to myself to do it. I think it helps with certain people.
I have enough symptoms for them to contemplate autism in me regularly, and for me to feel most at ease with borderline autistic people, but also scored just 22.
I wonder if this test is more aimed at men than women.
E.g. I can most definitely hyperfocus on some topic of my interest and know all the details and be disturbed when im distracted from it, but it isnt the typical subjects they ask about like numbers or trains.
