I’d be extremely curious to see how everyone scores on this test. Take your time and answer truthfully. I scored a 36, which can be seen as a positive or negative, depending on how you look at it. Most people will score well under 30, and 31 or more signifies a high likelihood of Asperger’s Syndrome, which is much more widespread than you might think.
So try this test and you might surprise yourself! They are all multiple choice and it goes fairly fast. I also have ADHD, so if I can get through it quickly and easily, so can you!
I should emphasize and make very clear, that when you are taking this test, the answers you give are NOT based on how you may feel today, or every now & then, or if you had a particularly bad day, and based on your “mood” of the moment. Your answers should rather be based on a lifetime average that sums up your actual day to day life and experiences over your lifetime.
It basically means that you are not an “Aspie”. Like I pointed out, only those who score higher than 31 are likely to have A.S. 28-30 is getting close though. :o
An excellent “in a nutshell” overview of Aspergers syndrome symptoms in adults. Pretty much describes me to a frickin tee!
(scroll down just a tad to the “bullet points”)
I scored 37, which is higher than the average math whizzes and computer scientists, etc. So how come I drive a truck for a living rather than work in some think tank on the mathematics behind faster-than-light travel?
Ok, here is an “official” Aspergers test, created by Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre. It’s probably where the other test I posted was borrowed from, as it’s basically the same. This time however, I scored a 41! I love being UNIque! The average score on this test is 16.4 which signifies non-asperger symtomology.
However, many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger’s, report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. (Luckily, I also fall into this category.)

What is very “odd” is your quote above that repeats the same thing 5 times, lol!
Here’s another example of an exception: I’m partially color blind, “but report no difficulty functioning in [my] everyday [life].” And another:I have ADHD, “but report no difficulty functioning in [my] everyday [life].” I’ll amend that last one by substituting the words “no difficulty” with “some difficulty”.
Aren’t your extremely extraverted though? In all your videos you seem to be having no trouble interacting with and relating to passersby. You also seem pretty silly which probably means you don’t have a hard time imagining things.
That’s because I’m a good actor, lol. In real life I’m the polar opposite of extroverted! And visualizing (imagining) is something aspies are good at. I do have a very strong will and try not to let things hold me back. (target and other store ride-throughs, haha!) I’m just thankful that I have a healthy sense of humor because without it I would probably be pretty depressed most of the time. It keeps me sane.
Many actors and comedians I know and have met seem very outgoing, friendly and funny on stage, but away from the spotlight, many of them are loners and lead a very private life.
I’m very aware of my neurological disorders, and find myself in a tug of war with them almost daily. Sometimes I win, sometimes lose, and sometimes it’s a draw. It can be extremely tiring and draining, which is probably why I require 9-10 hours of sleep every night! :o
