Considering that I have been diagnosed by a professional (but was borderline on it, and the previous diagnosis means I may have a biased result), here's my results.

And yeah, I can also say that a sometimes option would have been enormously helpful. The test seemed very polarizing.

For fun, here's mine on empathy.

I got 63 in empathy. Dang, must have cheated without noticing.

And I didn't take the other one because I got bored midway, I could have some mild form ADD actually.

Hm... Right, then. I don't really know what this means, but there sure is an awful lot of yellow. If I ever have the time and money, maybe I'll get some kind of assessment or other, but right now I don't really think a diagnosis would make a significant difference in my life one way or the other. I've gotten fairly used to who I am, and diagnostics would only confirm that I am who I am anyway, whoever that happens to be.

I think my brother was diagnosed with something on the spectrum, but I can't remember what. Kind of bad at keeping up with family stuff. Point being, maybe there's some genetic predisposition? Anyway, interesting test to take. Thanks for the link.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Results

Interesting way to spend a lunch break. I have no idea what that falls under, although I suspect that I'm mostly really introverted, as a lot of the things there I either never had or only get when I'm sick or really stressed.

Well, may as well do this: My results

For the record, I was diagnosed with ASD at an early age (around 2 or so). A ton of questions I had to answer as "when I was younger than 16", because I had quite a bit of coaching on things in elementary school. For such a small town and small school, they actually seemed to know what they were doing, in terms of coaching me to be more "normal". Though these days I have friends that are just as eccentric as I am. :P

My results

....I have always kinda suspected I have ASD. the problem regardless is that many of the questions are ambiguous or extreme - there's no sometimes option, and as for ambiguity... well, what's an intimate relationship, romantic or physical? Intimate doesn't immediately suggest one/both. but that's just me being picky.

For what it's worth, I'm just a hardass loner, and I scored very, very close to Vector, who's been diagnosed. Methinks the test is...incomplete, somehow.

If..if I could add to that 'test feels incomplete', I'd agree as..most things were...varying at times in life, and not just at exact years or how extreme it was..
Mmh, I guess that's why they put in a 'recommended for further testing' or something with the yellow highlights.

..

Erm, yeah. Seems much like it given that I..doubt that I've got ASD (past events other than innate personality or such).

My results. I know I have ADHD, which puts me on the autism spectrum as it is. This places me a bit lower than I would have though, however I have gotten a lot better since I was a kid. The vast majority of the questions about being socially awkward were answered when I was younger than 16.

The test did feel incomplete. I'm also something of a loner-- with the exception of having strong family ties, which again threw off the answers.
I think it really needs a qualified person of some description to interpret the results and listen to your feelings on it to be worthwhile.

Here's my results:

RAADS I happened to notice that the suspected ASD threshold scores are actually below the neurotypical scores, which means that being over the threshold says nothing in most cases. Also, a "depends" option would really have helped.

FQ Doing stuff with friends is just way more fun than doing not stuff with friends. Sue me?

AQ Turns out I'm extraordinarily unautistic.

EQ How the fuck did I get such a high score?

SQ Okay, this test was just the same question over and over. No wonder I got so far away from average.

In conclusion: Either I absolutely do not have Asperger's, or these tests are horribly inaccurate, or the definition of Asperger's is horribly imprecise.

And by the way: It's possible to get a perfect score, but some of the answers you have to make to get to that score are really quite disturbing.
