Well, you might not get a word in edgeways, according to one of the tests. I can't remember which one though; short attention span, you see.
17 middle of the road
30 for me, but I wonder if I was being honest with myself about how I answered, I also have a son with ASD!
Some of the autism questions can also be answered by the socially inept so I wouldnt draw too much into the results 😉

Ah right. Didn't see that earlier.

Are Ernie Lynch and Talkemada not one and the same then, or is that a different test?
We are Legion. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

40.
Oh dear.

No. Talkemada is a dopey ****, whilst Ernie Lynch is just a ****.......a subtle, but important difference.

27. some questions somewhat unclear and I didn't disagree strongly with any of them. I don't like big parties but I don like meeting new people in smaller groups and so on. There is some Aspergers in my extended family though so not a real surprise I'm scoring quite highly.
Blimey - all you lot are really completing that test? I genuinely realised I couldn't actually be bothered after 10 questions or so (what does that mean I am?)
what does that mean I am?
****ed mate. Sorry to say it, but it's probably true.
Maybe it's just a bit late in the day, and you can't be arsed...
I genuinely realised I couldn't actually be bothered after 10 questions or so (what does that mean I am?)
Almost certainly, that you're autistic.
Has anyone ever suggested that you're autistic aracer ?
They've probably suggested a few things about him...
Must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions, must complete the questions.
Oh yeah; and why am I a 'dopey' ****? Bit unfair in't it?
Want a beefburger and some chips?
Actually Southern Yeti, short attention spam, frustration, and a lack of patience towards the job in hand, are all symptoms of autism. Even though paradoxically, so are attention to detail and an obsessive commitment to a special interest. Well at least those are all characteristics which I recognise from my severely autistic nephew.
Sod yer then. More for me.
A reassuring 22 on the Autism test

and ISFP (Introvert Sensing Feeler Perceiving)on the other one.
Of course you realise that taking these tests means you're a narcissist 😛

You'll have to come for a pint too, Duntmatter.
I'm not ****ing happy that I'm the 'dopey' one. I think it's most unfair. Ernie's a proper nasty bastard. 😥
Ooh - 35. That's a real surprise actually....
33 - no surprise to my wife who reckons she's trained me out of having a potentially higher score.
What's to do with the question about hearing small sounds that no-one else hears? My kids reckon I have dog ears because I can hear things they can't.
37 on the autism one, but I kind of guessed that anyway.
INTJ personality type
Only 18 on the autism thing despite being a bloke who works in IT. Must be why they used to let me talk to the customers sometimes...
42 on the ADD one though, so probably only talking to customers 'cos I couldn't concentrate long enough to finish my other work 😉
Not the first dad of an autistic son to post on here tonight and so far nothing to upset me but had I read this 6 years ago i would have got angry and upset with some of your post's. It can be challenging living with autism in the family and it does change your life but would I want to stop my son being autistic I don't know, I would love for him to hold a conversation and him tell me his wants, desires and needs but strip him of his autism would be taking away the boy that I love so much. I hope some people will now take the time to fully understand how this disability can affect lives and be supportive and understanding. Please dont stop posting.
surely i have problems with an autism score of 4? i'm feeling left out here. what can be wrong with me? can someone invent a syndrome please?
[b]*[/b] You actually took the time to calculate the score
I think I'm not in any way autistic.
I got a whopping 11
but I am mildly obsessive compulsive. Particularly where my wallet, keys & expensive musical instruments are concerned. Is that unusual?
I only got 24 on the autism test which I'm astounded by. Maybe I'm just an ignorant tosser instead.
28. As a few above, my wife was unsurprised.
I thought it is normal to see patterns in car registration plates? Struck me as an odd question.
Isn't this all a bit reductio ad autism though (ie it's suggesting that you're in some way autistic because you exhibit some of the symptoms of people who are)? Can you really be a little bit autistic?

I don't think most people have meant to be insensitive, and I'm sure some of us will gain more understanding or Autism from this experience. I appreciate the light-hearted manner in which most of us has approached it may seem a little blasé of what is a very serious issue for some people, may not appear entirely appropriate, but I don't think anyone intended to offend.
I think this thread has opened up the subject of Autism to many STWers, and can be a positive learning experience for all of us.
^ What he said. I really hope none of my comments have caused offence.
Can you really be a little bit autistic?
-Yes, you can, its a spectrum and you can have lots of the characteristics in large amounts down to just a few in small amounts. There are more males diagnosed as Autistic, this could be due to the fact that it affects more males, or that males have more autistic tendancies normally than women making it harder to diagnose in females as they exhibit less of the characteristics normallt anyway.
Autism scale score = 6
Personality type: "Extrovert Intuitive Feeler Perceiving"
ENFP
... which I think is the same as Talkemada ... in which case we'd better never meet up ... or maybe we'd just get on perfectly in a overly talkative, understanding, slightly too senstive kinda way 🙂
Well if you move to Conwy, then I could go up to see Kevevs, and maybe we could meet, fall in love and live happily ever after. 😀
LOL 🙂
Thanks, that's sorted out the 'life plan' for now (although as an ENFP I believe I have a tendancy to over-plan, procrastinate, and otherwise d*ck around for far too long before ever coming to a decision about anything!)
Excellent!
I'll be up some time this summer.
Maybe.
I'm Introvert Sensing Feeler Perceiving. Nice.
34 here. Not really that surprising though. Plus I'm super OCD about weird stuff like the way stuff gets hung to dry on the rack.
I think it was jPod that I read in which one of the charaters theorises that most people in IT are mildy autistic and I definately have to agree (coming from someone in IT).
ADD test 60 oh dear. 😕
