I got 22. I suspect I'd have got a lot higher when I was a teenager. Most of the questions to do with socialising, have changed. People who are on the aspergers spectrum tend to do terribly, socially through childhood and their teens, as I certainly did, and then learn by rote how to be sociable, something the other kids seemed to just understand innately. My wife works for a speech therapist and I am constantly being told I am 'on the spectrum'. I am a little cautious, I think it's a trendy way of saying you have or had no social skills :P

29 Though, I think it will be interesting to see the score, if someone else who knows me, takes the test on my behalf.

19, Although I'm quite indecisive so I mostly picked slightly agree and slightly disagree. My brother on the other hand would most definitely score high, 'course he is actually autistic though I've always suspected he may just be a pain in the arse.

Half the issue with these tests is that it's pretty clear how to answer to get a particular score, and some of the questions are vague enough that people will tend to answer towards the result they want. 'Did I play pretend as a child' ? Every child does, surely.

32, but it would be interesting to see the results if my wife answered for me.

It is trying to see if you fit into one category, rather than which category.

It's flawed because it's crystal clear in most cases how to answer to get a high score, if you want one.

35 but I'm not too sure about this test. It look like its really easy to screw with the scoring.
