I was told I was autistic when I was a child but then I started sniffing the paint thinner.

16 here. It was easy to spot the trend to the questions that would give the diagnosis.

I wouldn’t worry too much if you score high.  I’m convinced that there are many high functioning fully assimilated folks in many occupations and walks of life who may technically be autistic or have Aspergers; many others may be at various levels under the “cut offs”.  So what?  If you are happy with your life and what you do, don’t let it bother you.  Knowing, however, may explain much about why you are the way you are.  If you have a child who exhibits autistic traits, seek a diagnosis and held as soon as possible; early interventions often make a huge difference.  If you are an adult and you think you may be autistic, you may have adapted quite a bit all by yourself.

Agreed.  Some of the best "Code monkeys" I know in IT are borderline Autistic. They're very anti-social, and flourish in a problem-solving environment that requires repetitive calculation.

There you go: diagnosed with autism yet a member of the Army.  Did your parents or teachers ever show any concern that you may be Autistic?  By “slow”, was that mostly delayed language and social skills?  I bet you were “normal” in most other areas.  Do you think you’ve lead a relatively normal life?  Did you ever marry and or have children?

I’ve studied Autism as a teacher and have a favorite student who is autistic.  Recently my sister’s 3 year old daughter has been diagnosed with autism and her little brother also is showing signs; I’ve been studying it even more since then.

I tried to answer honestly, this test should be quite easy to fake.
