27/50

Though, I had to put in semi random answers several times because the statements were not applicable. Some examples:

  1. I find social situations easy.

I do find them easy. I just hate them most of the time and try to avoid them.

  1. I would rather go to a library than to a party.

Definitely the library over the party. Though, I'd rather cut myself between the fingers with paper than go to a library. What century is this test from? We have the internet!

  1. I find it hard to make new friends.

Making friends is super easy. Keeping them is what requires effort which I'm not willing to invest most of the time. And I stopped making new friends, not because I couldn't, but because I didn't see the point.

  1. I frequently find that I don’t know how to keep a conversation going.

I frequently find that I don’t want to keep a conversation going.

  1. I don’t usually notice small changes in a situation or a person’s appearance.

Those are two very different things. I notice the tiniest of changes in "social" situations but am ignorant to changes in outer appearance or decoration that many would consider major. It took me like half an hour, after being prompted about a change, to figure out that an entire wall in a room changed from white to red ...

  1. I find it easy to work out what someone is thinking or feeling just by looking at their face.

Reading emotions is easy. Telepathy/mind reading is proven to not exist.

  1. I am good at social chitchat.

I am. But I hate it and avoid it unless I see a clear benefit from enduring it.

  1. I find it difficult to imagine what it would be like to be someone else.

If anybody thinks they can really imagine what it would be like to be another (existing) person, they are delusional. Even getting a crude approximation right would be mere coincidence.

I can imagine a million fictions of what I could be.

  1. I find it very easy to play games with children that involve pretending.

I assume I'd have no trouble with it if I set my mind to it. But why would I want to?

Whatever score you got, it probably wasn't high enough.

There should be an option for: "I'm to autistic to take this test."

Fuck that, I'm not autistic! As long as I'm not tested positive, I'm not. I wasn't, and I'm not going to be. I can be an exceptional software engineer with a direct wire to God without being autistic or otherwise crazy. And I'll have no glow-in-the-dark shrink say otherwise!
