Re: The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) Test
I got 32.
Very interesting...I was convinced last year I must have Asperger's but my psychiatrist (who is very good and highly regarded) said he is pretty certain I don't have that and his diagnosis was very clear: social anxiety.
I certainly have some of the traits, like spotting details other people don't and finding conversation awkward (knowing when to speak etc). I think there is a significant overlap between Autism and SA. That said, SA is one of the main symptoms of Autism. I think my conclusion here is that most people with Autism probably have SA but most people with SA don't necesarrily have Autism.
