    I scored 10 in the Option 1 test, which is about right, as I'm pretty far from being Aspergers.

    Funnily enough that's exactly the score it gave me .

    13 for me.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    9 for me, which rules obsessive behaviours out as being solely indicative of Asperger's Syndrome.

    It's a strange one with me.
    I obsess over details when it suits me, but will only look at the big picture when it doesn't.
    A lot of things can become very black/white, especially in social/conflict situations where I completely fail to spot the nuances/body language/signals; just steaming on regardless, then either getting frustrated when someone gets mad at me ( cos I genuinely can't work out why they are annoyed) or just shut off and go blank on them.


    Other times I am the perfect diplomat.

    I got 30. I did one of these a few years ago and got about the same score. They Say :- "26-31 gives a borderline indication of an autism spectrum disorder. It is also possible to have aspergers or mild autism within this range".
