Dude, just found this comminity the other day. Being honest, I always suspected and actually acknowledged some of the traits i had and have as autistic-ish; hell, even when growing up my mom and I used to joke around about me being autistic. But time passed and learned how to “act in life” and things were left only as a joke.
Anyway, I saw here someone sharing a link to RAADS test. I said to myself, naaah this is just a bunch of people seeking for validation of the ideas they already have. Fast forward a couple days, that idea never left me and took the test (I know what you are thinking) .
I just don’t know what to do with the results, honestly, I was expecting the score to be something in the realm of 100. But it is a fucking 176.
I just don’t know, man…

Haha it’s funny you said that, because that was my same exact thought before taking the test.
I always thought of myself as someone in the middle because I don’t precisely enjoy social interaction but in most cases I’m KINDA good at it, but fast enough it comes the time for my brain to retrieve a little bit, disregarding if I’m alone or not.
But I was thinking these habits grew hard in me and by now I wasn’t that awkard as when younger, but ooh boy, hahaha maybe I was a little bit wrong.
I got 38 on the 50-question test. Huh.
What does that mean to you?
Hey, thanks, I sure will give them a look!
You’re welcome! If you’re comfortable with it, feel free to share your scores. It can be validating to hear other people share similar results and even provide insight.
