Autistic Person Takes Autism Quiz (How Autistic Am I?) With Yo Samdy Sam

Hi indie people! I am an autistic person who in today's video is taking an online autism quiz. In this collaboration video with Yo Samdy Sam, we show how confusing this online autism test can be and also showing that you can be autistic/have an autism diagnosis. But the signs aren't obvious as people may believe. We are both taking the AQ test or Autism Spectrum Quotient test. (Link below).

IndieAndy first

[@1178978]

Im autistic and i have pretty bad dyslexia

[@foxmountainstudios1884]

I got 39 on my test too. I don't know how this works cuz so many of the questions are so confusing. There are a bunch I could answer either way depending how I interpret them.

[@galeriamardulce]

So useful to hear you and Sam doing this. Even just the way you both talk about the questions is like listening to my own brain 😂

[@lanitagrice7644]

I loved listening to the way you read the questions! 🤷‍♀🤷🤷‍♂ (I know these emojis are supposed to be people shrugging, but they kind of also look like they're stimming with joy -- which is how I meant them!)

[@YoSamdySam]

OMG had to rush to the comments section to laugh at us both saying the word "Frequently" 😆

[@IndieAndy]

Haha I didn't realise how many times it says frequently... So vague 😂

[@johnsonfamily7828]

Yo Samdy Sam Hey there I love watching all your videos. I scored a 45-50 what does that even mean?

[@DavidHenderson1]

@@IndieAndy It says it frequently.

[@LinguaSerbia]

I think it lacks an answer between "slightly agree" and "slightly disagree" because at some questions I really could not say if it is more to a "yes" or more to a "no", the difference was in nuances...

[@ganondorfchampin]

It's even worse than that - the slightly doesn't actually impact the result, it just has two superfluous versions of each question.

[@kiervol]

There is so much nuance here. Like, when I was younger and didn't know how to say no to social situations, I used to love loud bars because I couldn't hear anything so nobody expected conversation out of me. Now they feel too loud for me, but that has been part of my own growth, recognizing I can say no. So I would have answered these questions differently 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and now.

[@IndieAndy]

Yeah I think tests like this are very misleading but also it depends on how you feel how you answer so the results will always change. But if it helps someone find themselves then I think it's ok.

[@SaRah-21532]

That test is so weird! I've done it multiple times in the past and I swear my answers are different every time. I just don't know what they mean by half the questions because they're asked in such a weird way 🤔

[@IndieAndy]

Oooh yeah they probably will because I feel alot of it comes down to how you are feeling at the time. At least that's what I've noticed when I've taken this test before. 😂

[@schneeroseful]

I had different Scores in English and German. The wording had an effect on me.

[@SaRah-21532]

@@schneeroseful same. Sometimes it doesn't even seem like the same question.

[@IndieAndy]

Aww really?? To be honest that's interesting because if something is worded a certain way in English. It might not translate over very well to a different one.

[@rdklkje13]

And the way in which some of them are very dated, in any language. Why would anyone Andy’s age remember anyone’s phone number other than their own and maybe a couple of emergency numbers in case you loose your phone? As opposed to when some of us were young decades ago and remembering phone numbers was a necessity of daily life hard to imagine now = the context that this test came out of. Same with birthdays.

[@JadeDRail]

Once my friends had a whole conversation about how I never know what is going on. I heard my name and went "What??" And they started laughing.

[@IndieAndy]

Oooh gosh for real? That use to happen to me quite often!

[@rochelleesser7961]

Jaded Sweetness HAHAHA..... That SO happened to me too...... More than once.......🤣

[@Gabriel_F4924]

That happened to me and a friend of mine., he was often more out of it than me. It doesn't mean either of us are in the spectrum tho

[@BarbaraBrasileiro]

My life defined

[@BarbaraBrasileiro]

That always happens to me but I also have some hearing loss so I don't know if this is because I don't hear what do people say (and then I just stop trying to understand everything) or is it because of something else. Sometimes I use hearing aids but the world is so noisy that I just can't!

[@savagenovelist2983]

5:04 Movies. I will notice things and apply them in general. For example, I went on a rant after watching Cars that Chick Hicks committed second-degree murder. So yeah. Not stuff other people notice.

[@IndieAndy]

Oooh right that's fair enough. Also do you means as in the Pixar film??

[@purpleamy645]

If 2 different people are trying to talk to me at the same time, I have to tell them to be quiet and ask the first person to continue speaking then the second person. But if it is a conversation with me and 2 others and one person has their turn, then the second person has their turn, I find it easier. I hope that made sense.

[@IndieAndy]

Yeah it does basically taking turns in a conversation rather than 2 people talking at the same time! It is easier for me too ☺️

[@inquisitorMence]

Doesn't really matter what I score. Getting help has been basically impossible.

[@IndieAndy]

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get the help you need soon ☺️

[@Dogmasmells]

I was diagnosed with autism when I was young and do share a few autistic traits, but I managed to score 17 out of 50.

[@LovePikaMusic]

Love what you do with your voice when reading. It's funny (in a good way) and helps me focus (i normally have a tendency to just drift off when listening to people). I wish more people did that

[@BlueIris92]

I got 31 out of 50. But with quite a lot of questions I was in the middle, so if I lean the other way next time I take the test, it might give me a really different outcome.

[@IndieAndy]

Ooh yeah Iris it is such a mind boggling test because depending on how you see the test one day, the results will be different... Worst thing about online tests!

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

The reason is that it scores you the same regardless of if you choose slightly or definitely. So if you say you slightly agree that you don't enjoy small talk, it gives you the same score (1 point) as if you said you definitely agree. So even if your answers are all "middling" you can still get a really high score. And even though it was developed by someone who is well-known in the autism field, it's a very over-simplified initial screening test based purely on boys (with stereotypically autistic behaviours) that was developed nearly twenty years ago now. The UK still uses a shortened version of this (the AQ-10 - which asks the ten questions most "reliably" diagnostic of autistic tendencies) for GPs to decide if they should refer for diagnosis to actual psychologists, and psychologists (or others working with them) often use the full AQ test as part of the initial assessment process (or at least they are in my part of the UK at least).

[@IndieAndy]

Aww right I see well that could explain why people have been scoring highly. I didn't know about this before now so thank you for highlighting this 👍

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

@@IndieAndy No worries. Glad I could help.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I had a go and I surprisingly scored 27 (Asperger Syndrome), I thought I would be higher since I don't think I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (I think I am on the high functioning side of the spectrum). The problem with a quiz like this is it is entirely based on your own personal beliefs and that can cause someone to greatly under estimate or over estimate there answers. The only real way to determine what side of the spectrum you are is information provided to you by a professional.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

I did have subsequent goes and now a have a better understanding of the questions I will now often score an average of around the early mid 30s

[@IndieAndy]

To be fair as well, it is really dependant on how you are feeling or doing when you take the test. For example if you feeling not too good then you might be less good at stuff.

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

@@IndieAndy Exactly

[@DVDandFilmBloke]

​@@IndieAndy Also how others perceive someone, it can depend on the person's ego which can cloud there judgement. Sometimes it is hard to tell what others think of me so it is very hard for me to answer a question on what others think of me, they may be presenting themselves to me on the outside as "gees he is a really nice person" but inside there probably thinking "Jesus Christ what a wanker".

[@mopeadaz]

dude- came here from sam’s video- and omg i love your energy sm 😭😭 i cant even describe it i just. love ur vibes omg.

[@carola-lifeinparis]

Hmmm. I love numbers and dates, though I'd be very surprised if I turned out to be autistic. I also prefer deep conversations to stupid smalltalk

[@IndieAndy]

That question is such a weird one because not all autistics love numbers and dates... A very stereotypical thing to put as a question I think 😂 Yeah deep conversations are where it's at 👍

[@samanthaj.cassan3490]

I am not diagnosed yet, I scored 38. I’m trying to get a diagnosis but it’s very difficult as an adult to get an appointment. I really enjoyed both videos (yours and yo samdy sams) in autism they always talk about having super strict routines which I have never been able to have (possibly because I have 4 kids) but I am obsessed with trying to have a schedule, I try tons of different ones, I am afraid I won’t get my diagnosis just because of that.

[@johnsonfamily7828]

I took it I scored 45. This is exactly the same test they use at your therapist.

[@IndieAndy]

Ooh really? To be fair I imagine alot of the questions are designed from what therapists used (though I do find the wording in this quiz to be very mismatching).

[@kenyonbryngel]

I sincerely respect your confidence to be who you are and put yourself out there. Thank your for dissecting the questions. I’ve gone through these and was confused by the wording, like what does liking a museum or theater have to do with your brain’s wiring? It’s absurd. Thank you for talking through it from your perspective and helping people.

[@jessiedudesert9267]

I did this test when I was figuring out if I were autistic and my result was a yes. When I did the diagnosis, the psychiatrist used the same questions, there were just more questions. So I think this test is quite reliable.

[@IndieAndy]

Oooh that is fair enough Jessie. I feel personally that there are alot of stereotypes about autism in here honestly but that's just the way I see it!

[@jessiedudesert9267]

IndieAndy Maybe but autism is like a list of criteria so these criteria can be stereotypes if you chose typical ones. And as it gets the right results, no matter. But yes this test can’t be the only thing you use to do a diagnosis. I talked about childhood too when I did my diagnosis.

[@garrystevens8793]

I scored 45/50 on this test. I’ve been advised by health/autism professionals to see my GP and get a diagnosis in my teens, in my mid 20’s then again in my 30’s. Finally decided to do it as I was hitting 40 but the GP’s referral for an NHS diagnosis keeps getting rejected and I just don’t have a spare £2000 for a private diagnosis. Does anybody have any advise on how to actually get the NHS referral?

[@wackisjack]

i just wanted to say that i actually really like how you read the text outloud! the different tones and pitches you use on different words were really great for keeping my adhd brain’s attention, usually i have to turn up the speed on a video so that my short af attention span doesn’t have to wait too long.

[@Pepsolman]

First time I test 27 just answering impulsively. Second go through I got 31 actually playing out the scenario of each question in my head. I feel like a highly functioning, undiagnosed autistic adult who has social anxiety and depression.

[@gingerehrhardt843]

It was fun taking the test along with you. We had similar answers and I loved how you questioned the stupid wording of the answer choices.

[@IndieAndy]

Haha it needed to be done 😹

[@TheSimpleSprinkle]

That was fun to watch! :D

[@IndieAndy]

Aww thank you so much!

[@TheSimpleSprinkle]

@@IndieAndy

[@JeffSmith03]

I am surprized how sure you were about "read between the lines", I don't know which way I'm supposed to answer it since I don't know what it really means, unless I have written extra stuff in between the lines, which I do often :)

[@prf76]

Opening my gob before engaging my brain is something I do A LOT!!! 😆

[@alexrose6471]

Found this video after binge watching a bunch of Sam's content after just discovering it and now you! I've done this test many times over the years and always get around 37 or 38. Finally on a waitlist for the diagnosis process after having had an initial assessment :) if I ever do get my diagnosis maybe I'll do a video like this myself someday because I love picking apart these questions and how subject to interpretation they are.

[@IndieAndy]

Hi Alex! It's great to see you here, thank you for watching the video! Also hope that you get the diagnosis soon and maybe you should because what I've noticed is that people do interpret the questions so differently so it would be interesting to see 👍

[@TaraLyz]

I just took the test and got a 27/ 30. I’m more surprised it’s not a little higher actually. (I’ve been watching Sam’s videos and started leaning toward the idea that I might have autism & based on the test, I apparantly do.

[@fizzy965]

I just tried it and scored 45 out of 50. I wasnt expecting it to be that high with the answers I gave lol. I'd be interested to see if I put the exact same answers in again if it gave me a different score...

[@IndieAndy]

Aww that is high but Sam put it best on her video. Depending on how you interpret the questions and where you are in your life will probably mean your answers will change and you'd get a different score. It's such a weird test 😂😂😂

[@gauntlettolife833]

Hi there IndieAndy, I have clicked onto your channel after JoSamdySam had referred to you in a Video. I have smiled, chuckled, chortled & flat out LMAO during this video. You remind me of my Hairstylist! He is very similar & I chose to continue going to this Hairstylist because it's usually just him & one person. I'm not sure if he's on the Spectrum ( he told me his sister is ) so I think perhaps he is as well just because I have known him for a few years now. You have a really enjoyable fun nature about you ( especially your way of pronouncing words or the sounds you make to emphasise your point ) great video & yes the Quiz is rather "quizzical?" Ha ha ha..... Most likely an NT came up with it based on a stereotype ( male dominant one at that - even that is an oxymoron! ) All the spelling mistakes, not just on the internet but in published books?! Get an Aspie to proofread! Thumbs up for this one IndieAndy !!!

[@IndieAndy]

Hi there! Sorry for not responding sooner but I'm really glad you enjoyed this. Ooh that's interesting, to be honest being a hairstylist I can imagine is challenging as you have to socialise while trying to chop an ear off 😂 Ooh about the way I speak, I don't get how it's intriguing as it's just the way I speak 😂 but still I'm glad you like the way I did the video 👍

[@terrypaske3321]

I love your cell phone pop socket!

[@patriciafisher3108]

I just took the test and got a score of 35. At this time, I have no idea what to do about it, except to research further. Glad for your channel. I do not feel so alone in this. Thank you.

[@Nekotaku_TV]

I got 31. As always some of the questions are hard to answer. For example "People often tell me that I keep going on and on about the same thing." I know I can... but people never tell me... so the answer would be definitely disagree if I actually answer the question. But I assume it checks for the "keep going" if that's true or not so I picked agree . I hate that. Xd

[@magsmcgarrigle981]

Yeah the questions are weird in some parts and repetitive in others. I didn’t think I’d score that high (same as you). I also noticed this beautiful lad replied to most of his comments. That is so lovely- I have no words 😶 🇮🇪👍😭

[@IndieAndy]

Hi Mags! The tea itself is very flawed and very misleading however I would only use this test to look into possibly starting an autism diagnosis journey. You can't really declare that you are without really looking into the subject you know. Aww also thank you for the point about commenting back to people. Where possible, I'll try to respond to as many as people have taken the time to respond or give their thoughts. So it's just a respectful thing to do

[@zoraowen6672]

it's important to note that this is not just a random online test. It's created by a respected expert (ugh) and used in professional settings, sometimes as the gatekeeping test to getting a full assessment. How terrible this test is has real world consequences

[@smashy_smasherton]

I’m undiagnosed and have taken this quiz several times at different times and consistently get 40-45. I definitely have executive function issues and thinking stim meds for adhd are not right for me. Have anxiety and possible ocd as well. Trying to figure out a professional diagnosis as I’m really stuck in life ATM. 46 and I just can’t pretend to fit in anymore. It doesn’t really work anymore and I need a good way to make a living.

[@zecchinoroni]

I normally get anywhere from 36-40 on this test. Just now I got 40, I think because I have anxiety from the 5 cups of tea I just drank lol.

[@IndieAndy]

Yeah tea is Satan 😂 But no I agree that depending on your mindset, you would probably score something different every time.

[@Tiara_Princess7]

I just took it right before watching your video and got 42/50. :) Also, I am not diagnosed, but I hope to get a diagnosis when I have some money to pay for it and when I am not so anxious to drive there on my own.

[@IndieAndy]

Aww I wish you luck in whatever you decide and hope you'll find the courage 👍☺️

[@Tiara_Princess7]

​@@IndieAndy Thank you. I really appreciate that. Going somewhere alone causes a lot of anxiety and then for this whole process of getting a diagnosis that could take years is very scary. Thank you again. :)

[@IndieAndy]

I get that for sure but I'd say that by doing this yourself, it'll just help you going forward. I know it's crazy I mean when I started doing KZbin for example, it was the first project I did on my alone. I was doing for myself and no one else. It was scary to begin with but it's been really good for me overall. This isn't a direct comparison nor can it be but hope you find the courage and just do your best 👏

[@muhyul0314]

I enjoyed your video assessment, but I guessed your score would be in the lower 30s. After listening to Sam’s as well, and having taken the test myself, my theory is questions with “strongly” are rated much higher. Sam’s had more “slightly” choices as did mine.

[@pandacrazy3005]

cool video! i scored 37 on the test, interesting :D

[@IndieAndy]

Ooh thank you so much! Aww that is interesting but like I say tests like this are icky so just be weary! 😂

[@ollielace]

Questions like #6 always confuse me. Like what does "notice" mean? If I look at a license plate I'm gonna "notice" the letters and numbers. But that doesn't mean I memorize them or something

[@ggart8514]

Question 9 made me go "dates? I do not like the consistency and they are too sweet.." still don't get the question, but I scored 35 and english is my second language, so oh well

[@kyleguebert5526]

Thank you for going through this. I've never been diagnosed, but suspected I've been "on the Spectrum" in recent times. I actually wound up taking this same quiz before I found yours or Sam's videos, and I loved seeing you both pick apart the logic and semantics and the ever present caveat of "well, it depends..." My initial score was a 27, and on other assessments I got 17/30 and 30/68. After I heard Sam say her scores changed, I retook it a few days later and it went to a 30/50. Then it was a 33 when I took it because I couldn't find the 30 to share with someone. Just now retaking it I got 34. The 17/30 was also upped to 21/30 my second go around a few days later, as well. Oh, and I heard the car rev before you pointed it out lol.

[@MOJORAPSCALLION]

You have to take the test literally this is what my team told me at the time.. like Sam I was questioning most questions with more questions lol like me it’s about the details but according to my team they’re not after ‘in depth’ but face value responses.. interesting I scored 47/50 on my AQ and I had the rest of the tests too EQ, SQ, SQR etc... interestingly I scored high on Male Brain attributes/patterns in my testing. I digress.

[@TheKarret]

I got a low 17; but I do tend to score quite high on ADHD questionnaires like this. After COVID calms down and this one place opens back up to in-person appointments, I want to see about getting assessed for it.

[@michaelwalker-es6we]

Ty Andy, had me a bit of a 🤭 chuckle. But what made me frogawkard, is the fact that neuro typical clinical observation, provides me with strong 💪 independence as a NEURO DIVERGENT!!!

[@IndieAndy]

Aww yeah it will be. To be honest these questions are used by some professionals but I think there's more to it than these questions can help with I feel. But I hope everything goes ok for you on Thursday 👍

[@Inksaver]

If you are interested how the scoring system works: Read on. There are 50 questions, and a max score of 50 using integer values, so each question can only score either 0 or 1. There is no difference between definitely/slightly. Choose either definitely agree or definitely disagree. Some of the answers have a reverse bias to try and make it more difficult to game the questions. I have a text file on pastebin.com/vzaLfmHF with a full explanation of the method used to obtain the score for each of the questions and my interpretation of what was really being asked for each one in order to obtain a 1. I usually score 35 when I have done this test before, and now I have analysed it and know how to score 50/50, I tried to be as honest as possible, but selected only the extremes, and still got a score of 35

[@pinkmagicali]

My trouble with this test was working out which answer I needed. I kept getting confused with the agree/disagree part and getting it flipped. I tried to do it as fast as possible so I wouldn’t overthink it. Lol.

I find this so funny, because I scored 37 and like Sam and Andy I got stuck in a loop over semantics. I definitely noticed the misspelling of autistic at the end of the test too. I think that in itself speak volumes rather than the test itself 🤣

[@tigergumby]

When taking this, I had to think over some of the questions to decide if I answered that way because that's how I am or if I became that way due to trauma? As older adults we have experienced so much, so it's hard to say with some of these.

[@ronaldgordon8988]

Happy birtyhdat tomorrow.

[@crochetwithmouse8160]

OMG I did have to take this test just to see what it would produce. I watched Yo Samdy Sam's video also and posted my comments on there as well. I think I have taken these questions before back in the 1980's and they diagnosed me with Cognitive Learning Disability but back then a lot of things were diagnosed under that category. Here are the results I got from it: Your score was 31 out of a possible 50. Scores in the 26-32 range indicate some Autistic traits (Asperger's Syndrome).

[@njkdrums6241]

I got a 20 but I do feel like things have changed as I’ve grown up I’m definitely not as sensitive to sounds and smells as I used to be.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

#6 I don't get told I've said something rude but people often reply to what I said in an angry tone. And most people, I think, wouldn't tell you anyway, they would just act upset.

[@19Marc79]

I have the impression, that he misunderstood question 18. Neither the words "center of attention" nor "social" were in the question ! I guess the question pointed into the direction of monologues (special interests e.g.) and not having a feeling when to give verbal space to others.

[@aspieinabowtie]

Just took the test and scored a 31 at age 45. When I was 32 I was over 35 on that score. A long way from getting fired from a promising job 21 years ago and not realizing that I am on the spectrum and I have to take ownership of my ASD.

[@IndieAndy]

Ooh yeah that's fair enough and to be fair as well i think I'd score differently if I tried this again too 😂

[@forge5825]

46/50 was my score which makes sense as I am diagnosed.

[@donnam2012]

"I am fascinated by dates". The sweet shrivelled fruit? The outing with a prospective romantic encounter? The individual component of a calendar? "I am more strongly drawn to people than to things". Aren't people things? Subjects and objects. Are animals things? oyoyoy... too hard!!

[@yunhee93]

Can you do a video on your special interest specifically KZbin?

[@IndieAndy]

Hmm yeah I think I could do! 👍

[@flauwegeit]

Hmm well even tho the test might be questionable the results seem to be on point for you, samdy and myself, (I scored low, I do not have autism)

[@JeanClaudePeeters]

I did the test a couple of times and scored 36 'frequently'. In Sam's words: Au(s)tistic AF.

[@LaciElements08]

I got a 43 I'm not shocked the bulk of my children are on the spectrum too.

[@cindya9572]

I took the test and scored 37, but I've never been diagnosed.

[@MatthewC33199]

I actually really like the way you read out things, I know it might not be intentional, but you sound very sing-songy and eccentric, kind of like a Monty Python skit or something lol. Also, I tend to score quite high on these bullshit "tests" and I am diagnosed as autistic, but many of the questions just apply to introverts and probably will convince so many people that they are autistic when they aren't. It's like those online IQ tests that tell you you are a genius! And nobody does online self-testing/online self-diagnosis for any other condition, you wouldn't take a quiz online for heart disease or bipolar disorder, so why would you for autism? I'm sick of people being like "Autism is cool and trendy, I don't like loud noises so I guess I'm autistic now!"

[@IndieAndy]

Aww thank you, that's weirdly a really cool thing to say. Completely unintentional as well 😂 Yeah I agree it is very stupid but also as well this test I did has ALOT of negative stereotypes about autism. I feel Sam did a much better job of covering those points in her video. But yeah I don't really agree with people using tests then saying they are autistic straight after.

[@pudgethefish5180]

I just took this same test and got a 35 😅 I do not have a diagnosis. but I am starting to wonder

[@heathercate1812]

I did the same test and scored 42/50. I found some of the questions confusing and didn't really understand what they were asking.

[@peaceandhonesty3516]

I don’t have a diagnosis but I scored 49/50. Everyone tells me I have ASD but I thought it wasn’t the case....

[@mychemicalromanceann]

I’ve never been diagnosed with autism. I’m 29. I took the test and scored 40/50.

[@okthen4912]

39 too

[@Katyestella63]

I prefer doing things on my own even when I am in a small group of no more than 4 other people. I am very poor at imagining what thinks would look like, as I am unable to 'create a picture in my mind', no matter how hard I try. I have very sensitive hearing and can annoyed by the slightest noise, i,e, my upstairs neighbour talking on the phone, the sound of the fridge humming. Number 6 is very vague as I don't go out a lot due to severe sensory issues, chronic fatigue and pain, the only time I would notice patterns in car number plates would be if I am in as a passenger and when I am in a relaxed state. I do notice patterns in dates and times. I am fascinated by dates when they are synchronised, i.e. 11/11/11 etc. Since I do not talk much to people, my sister or other people say that I am not listening, or that they infer that my tone is wrong or that I am talking about a different subject and that I am thoughtless rather than say I am impolite, or they say nothing but they talk angrily or in an impatient tone. I am unable to track of several conversations at a time as it confuses me. When I am talking to a person and there is background noise, I am unable to filter the background noise. Background noise makes it very difficult to listen to the person that I am talking to. I find social situations very difficult as I am unable to know how to start a conversation and how to introduce myself even though I am 56 and female and accord to autism experts I should find social situations easier than autistic males. I notice details that other people don't, i.e. background noises, slightly change in temperature and humidity, this is a very vague question. Instead of going to a party I would rather go to a museum rather than a library (if there is one locally) and this question is dated as libraries are not quiet any more as they are used as community hubs in Thurrock. I struggle in making up stories and as a child and still as adult, I would rather read an encyclopaedia than a novel. I cannot understand question number 15. I also get upset if I cannot pursue my interests of meteorology, as I listen to meteorology/weather patterns videos and go on the website and put my findings on as well as watch DC and Marvel superhero genre TV and films. I do not enjoy social chit chat.

[@Katyestella63]

Thank you for the highlighted hearted comment.

[@IndieAndy]

Aww it's ok. Sometimes I don't feel I can respond but if I can't then I'll heart comments just to acknowledge that I've seen it and read it through.

[@rac1280]

took it twice 49 1st time 48 2nd think I should see a specialist

[@alexieshaw558]

You said the two questions about pretend play as a kid and with kids were the same but i would have answered the first as yes i used to do pretend play all the time but with my son as an adult no I absolutely hate pretend play. I think somehow i have gotten more autistic as ive aged

[@albamg04]

I got a 47, some time ago, so I'm seeking for a professional diagnosis

[@IndieAndy]

Aww that's fair enough. Have you had much success with that? I understand that it is a tough process but hope you get the help you need.

[@albamg04]

@@IndieAndy my psychologist says it's just trauma, I'm being treated of depression. There's not much information about autism where I live. I'm sure about my autism, so I'll still try to get a diagnosis.

33/50. au/as is in the family.

[@Ryska1101]

I did it twice and got 35 the first time and then went to tone down my answers and scored 37. This isn't a viable test is it? I've been having a lot of social problems, but I just figured it was just anxiety and my general lack of awareness in social settings :/

If you did the test then it would give a description of what the score meant.

[@BarbaraBrasileiro]

I got 39 too lol Then I was mad at the test and made my husband do it because I was sure everyone would get a high score from these seemingly normal things. And then he scored as neurotypical person. And I'm like "????". I also took another online test which seems more detailed (aspie quiz) and also got some high score for Asperger's behavior in social situations, talent and perception, but not on relationships and comunication. I found out about this today and I'm like very incredulous... I don't know what to think of this... And it all started with KZbin recommending me a video with the title: "are you autistic?" Lol

[@magsmcgarrigle981]

I just took Samdy’s test but didn’t know how to score it. It’s not a simple yes or no to a lot of the questions. I think I may have scored quite high. Still not sure 🤔 Took the test while you did and scored around the same as you. Maybe I should see someone? I’ve suspected over the last few years that something was up but as I have epilepsy the Doc told me that depression kinda goes hand in hand with it. I think he’s lazy. 🤕

[@IndieAndy]

Hi Mags! The test we both did were the exact same test. Basically the idea of the video who to see how we'd score ourselves and the way we took the questions. But anyways with tests like these, I think they are good to possibly indicate with their autistic traits there. Though to see if you could be, I always say to seek medical advice from a professional and look into the subject abit more for yourself by researching 👍 Hmm the epilepsy thing is abit mad to me as you can have that and be autistic at the time 🤔 but to be fair, he might not have thought about autism as a possibility? I don't know but I'd seek medical advice if it's something you were also thinking yourself. Hope you are well.

[@magsmcgarrigle981]

IndieAndy Thanks for your answer. I’ll follow up with my Doc. Again thank you for taking the time. It’s obvious you care and means a lot to your viewers 🙏

[@IndieAndy]

Awww yes of course, especially when it's a question I'll try to answer as soon as I can!
