After all the recent publicity of model Heather Kuzmich, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, I stumbled across an interesting survey that determines the severity of autism/Asperger's syndrome in people. It's a 50-point questionnaire and you will receive a score at the end of the survey. Are you autistic? My score was 40.

I scored 28.
Quoting AerorobNZ (Reply 6): Not been diagnosed but I've often wondered
Same for me.

7 billion, one nation, imagination...it's a beautiful day
Anyway, my score is 35. I've never been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, but given my very non-existent social skills and general shyness including problems to being assertive, go figure.
Haha, great thing to find out on your third a.net birthday. You're 3 and might be austistic. Happy birthday.
I got a 23, so i got above average. ¬_¬ meh, whatever. what do you expect from a plane geek?
Avoid hangovers, stay drunk.
25 AF340: Their score is lower than a males. AF340
26 LTU932: Please read that again. It says "most women score about 15 and most men score about 17". Those are just average figures and if you get the average sc
27 AF340: Very sorry, but I only have an AQ of 14 and you have a mighty score of 35. Please forgive my ignorance and may you have many lone nights with your co
28 NeilYYZ: I scored a whopping 6. Guess I'm alright, not that I'd take medical advice from a Newsweek poll anyhow.
29 Scorpio: It was a joke, I *highly* doubt he meant for it to be taken seriously... Yup. I recently heard autism described as 'an extreme form of male thinking'
30 AF340: We both have 14, we must be on the same brain wave or something... AF340
31 FlyKev: Its weird. For years I had suspicions that I was in the Autistic spectrum, and recently, I was finally diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. It was final
32 Panaman: I scored a 12. I guess I can't be cool and have autism.
33 LHMARK: I got a 10. Excuse me while I go chat up some strangers.
34 JetMech: Interesting. Is that because of the general "mechanistic" way of male thinking (i.e. numbers, facts, figures etc) . I can't help but think that the A
35 YOWza: I got a 10 as well so I guess I'm in the clear. I don't know a hell of a lot about this condition. YOWza
36 ScarletHarlot: 13, and that kind of surprises me, but I am quite good with people so I guess that rules out Asperger's etc. I guess I am just a bit odd. Did you guys
38 AllegiantAir: 16 for me. I swear on that quiz that they asked "Do you enjoy social chit-chat" or something along those lines twice! Anyone else notice that?
39 DC10extender: 17 for me. I am normal but I tend to notice more things than most people.
40 MCOflyer: same here. See reply 2. I was diagnosed in 98. Hunter
41 Aerobalance: 12 - whatever! Message too short The message you were about to post is too short and probably not of any higher value to the topic at hand. You should
42 Siren: I scored a 40. I was diagnosed when I was 13, too... the miracles of early detection.
43 MD11Engineer: My colleagues call me the walking database, I'm good in memorising stuff, but only stuff I'm interested in. Anybody in here also know the feeling tha
44 NWADC9: 32. Right on the edge of "very high". Figures...
45 Jafa39: Well I guess that ascertains the validity of the test!!! I got a 7.....dunno what that means except that socially I am a tart!! XXX
46 Dc9northwest: Yup... Wondered if anyone else noticed that, really. As for me... 33. Have not been diagnosed, but I can't say I'm surprised.
47 CactusHP: I have 21. A little on the high average side, but not too bad.
48 CJAContinental: 25 for me, so above average, don't think its anything to be concerned about. It would be interesting to find out average scores by proffession; mathem
49 JetMech: Wow, that sounds exactly like me, but I only scored 18 on the test ! Regards, JetMech
50 Yellowstone: I scored a 20 - in the average range, but just slightly above the average male score of 17.
51 CanadianNorth: 19. Slightly higher than most, but still within the average range. CanadianNorth
54 MCOflyer: Same here but I do play pool at my college and am getting better at dealing with strangers. Same here. I used like the chat as you were not face to f
55 LHboyatDTW: Meh 25 No wonder why I kept staring at things when I was little and never really talked much.
56 Lazarus31: I seem to have got a 10!! NOOOOO....looks like my mummy lied to me me when she said im special!!! damn!!meh....back to the pub for more social loafing
58 Boeing4ever: 24, but my mouse has issues where if I click once, the computer registers two clicks. Thus I noticed I'd go from question 34 to 36, probably hitting a
59 JAGflyer: I scored 18. I'm not autistic and I don't have Aspergers but I do have social/general anxiety which I have done well in overcoming to some extent. I a
60 UAL747: I scored a 34. While I don't think I was truely autistic, I can definitely see aspergers syndrome. When I was a kid, I was ALWAYS playing by myself fo
61 QFA380: I got a score of 32, oh no. I was scared this might happen. I best do it again to see if I get the same score. Would be interesting to get a real test
62 CanadianNorth: Well I just roughly figured that the average score sofar for us a.netters is around 22. Basically as a group we are, sofar, as high as we can be while
63 Kunoichi: 45 *cough*... Diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome last year. Do keep in mind that these things cannot diagnose you - it can barely even give you a hint
65 Metroliner: I got exactly a 17... but I don't believe in online self-diagnosis. Not after the last outbreak of lassa fever.
66 Redngold: 28 here. I've had people think that I've got Asperger's but in real life I make eye contact and connect "too easily" with others to have any form of a
68 OV735: 25, and I'm a little disappointed (and relieved), I was expecting it to be closer to the "very high" range. Back at highschool age I prolly would have
80 Bok269: I scored a 22...just within average. Anyone notice one of the credits is to Baron-Cohen, S?
81 Springbok747: 31..Wow..didn't expect that. Third that
82 Springbok747: Thats not Sacha Baron-Cohen (Ali G), but Prof. Simon Baron-Cohen, the director of the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge. He is Sa
83 Bok269: " target=_blank>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_B...Cohen Very interesting... I figured that it wasn't Ali G himself. Very interesting that it is
84 JCKastrup: My score was 20... Above world average, below A.net average. I can live with that. On a side note. If you score below 10 in the test, you should recon
86 LH423: I scored an 8 the first time but I felt that was a little low. So I answered the questions a little more carefully and came up with a 14. I think that
88 SmithAir747: I also scored 31, no surprise for me. I have experienced autism in my life. I was actually considered autistic after I was born with Treacher Collins
89 Af773atmsp: Sometimes when I'm talking I say something wrong, and when I'm reading its hard for me to read sometimes and I can't do my homework.
91 ScarletHarlot: One of my friends at curling has this same thing going on, and she said that it influences how she views names - if she was to have a child, she woul
92 AF340: You have Synesthesia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia There was a program on Discovery about this I think it was on a show called Superhuman
