    yeah i kinda need help...

    I took a autism test, to see if what I have is serious or major, because apparently since I was born under a father over the age of 40, I have an extremely high chance of having it. I don't know how to see what score, I got, so pls tell me if you know. :I

    science shows being born from a sperm cell over the age of 40 is a high chance of having disorders, such as ADD, ADHD, and OCD. Those are the ones I actually have, and there are many more, but I don't know if I have autism. A lot of the traits of autism fit me, though, so yeah. (all of those disorders I listed have been verified by doctors that I have them, so dont hate.)

    I know it isn't much, but if you guys could help me figure out the results, please do so. :(:


    My score:
    Agree: 4,5,6,7,12,13,16,18,19,23,26,33,39,41,43,46: 1 point
    Disagree: 1,10,11,24,25,27,28,30,34,37,48,49: 1 point
    Score: 28


    What it says:
    Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

    I suggest talking to an actual expert about it. Consult your parents about it politely, and if they dont believe you/dont listen, I suggest making your tone a bit more serious. It shows you actually care. Think of how your parents may retaliate to your arguments, and prepare your cross-axamination. Try to debate with them, if you know how to. Bring up as many facts and morals as possible.
    Debating with my parents usually works with me, I've won/lost some. Then again, I am a novice oratorical speaker :P

    It says in that paragraph that 80% of the kids with autism scored 32 or higher. You got a 28, you don't have autism.

    Simple as that.

    i got a 28 too, woo

    But, even if you have autism, it shouldn't stop you from anything. Austistic people are usually very cunning, clever and smart.

    ^


    actually another thing with being born under someone over the age of 40 is that my grades would be worse than normal kids. ;-;

    @Joeybacon, It says 80%. Meaning not ALL of ppl. This is sort of a test for adults, too, and it's the best one I could find, so otherwise I was just 4 points away from autism. Taht's really close, and compared to Mcc's and Perc's answers, they are definitely different. It also explains why me and Perc rarely agree with things. :/
