When I first took the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) test, back on New Year’s Eve 2012, I scored 43 out of 50.

Since getting my “official” diagnosis, I have researched the ass out of autism, and put in coping mechanisms now that I know how my autism impacts upon my behaviours.

I just took the AQ test again, and this time around I scored just 28!

0 – 10 = low
11 – 22 = average
23 – 31 = above average
32 – 50 = very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
50 is maximum
