I find it hard to speak to people with other interests 

Try expanding yours then. Or at least read up about other things, so when you get pushed into a conversation about whatever it is, at least you have some background knowledge. Works for me.

I'm kind of afraid to find out how I'd score on this.

[Dilmah G]

Bah, can't be that bad. One of my "DONT TAKE ME OUTSIDE. THE LIGHT. IT BURNS." mates only got a 24. You'll be fine.

Effing school computers have the score page blocks for 'innapropriate or adult content'...

Meh, i know that I'm autistic.

I got 32. Odd. I was expecting >40.

#13 was hard, since my library IS a party. We have a teen section with a couple of booths I go to hang out with my friends at.

I scored 38.

15... might be some link between low relative score and turning up in person to HLP events?

I love the sun.

19, though I know I am an introvert. This test doesn't require me to be able to *enter* a social situation (how to approach someone, how to start a conversation, etc) . It presupposes I am already in one, and I must keep the conversation going.

And how do autism and numbers relate? If I'm good at remembering numbers - which I am not - does it mean I'm more likely to be affected by autism?

Some people with autism tend to be good with numbers, patterns and details. More so than the general population.

I think the bottom line is that this simple little quiz isn't meant to be a substitute for an actual psychological evaluation/diagnosis, even for those of us who scored uncomfortably highly on it.  While it's true that people on the autism spectrum tend to post high scores on a quiz like this, there are numerous other reasons why one would do so, including being a detail-oriented person or a plain old introvert.

*hopes this doesn't come across as self-denial*

Wasn't there a disclaimer on the quiz page saying something similar? We're doing this for fun (I hope).
