7, I was on 5 before the woman's one started, maybe I'm an autistic lesbian deep down.

That's some of it, yeah. Without a doubt.

Plus the fact that certain autistic symptoms (esp. lack of empathy) are default masculine traits anyway.

Some of those situations are in dyspraxia

I did the test .. waited .. nothing happened. Sorry

I seemed to select the top option for the vast majority of the questions and few were the very last option

I once hired someone affected by Asperger syndrome. And to be honest, he really made a stunning job with repetitive tasks linked to statistics, analysis and performance indicators for a projet I was in charge of.
I had no problem hiring him, he was a sweet guy with a lot of humor and I got along with him very well. So clever and really had strong logical mindset. I would totally work with people with this condition again.

I think that’s because dyspraxia, dyslexia , dyscalculia and Aspergers each have many overlapping traits .. all come under ASD .

Presume they are suggesting autism and dyspraxia share many similar traits .. which of course they will ...

Also, I've learnt a lot about this condition, what people go through and how it affects their daily lives. It really takes guts and bravery to try to make something good out of it, go through high school and college and go find jobs without being discriminated. I loved that he knew who he is and was unapologetic about it so I am super grateful to have learnt about that.
He was sometimes "disconnected" and we laughed about it. Not that I wish I was the same, but really he gave no f!cks about most of the things we worry about

It is definitely different in girls but thus far, my daughter is actually the polar opposite of described, and of "classic autism" in general. Her mood is rarely "flat", she bounces between extremely happy/smiling/laughing/excitement and angry/upset/distressed - all very much worn on her sleeve. If she's feeling something, you'll know about it.

...also contrary to this, she was diagnosed at her first paediatric assessment when she was 3, within about 15 minutes . She does have additional support needs though, mostly language-based at this point it seems, so that makes diagnosis much more straight forward.

A lot of the questions on the test are more like a test for introversion than a test for autism. They're not the same thing.

I recall watching a 45 minute documentary on autistic babies !!

It was possibly about 10 yrs ago .

As I recall ( it’s all very vague ) there were about 8 of them in the study , they were about 12 months old and each one’s parents were BOTH autistic .

The only part I can remember clearly was that they all took turns to be placed in a high chair and were wired up so we could tell exactly what their eyes were focusing on ... they were then shown a series of clips of older children speaking to the camera ..

Anyways they ALL focussed on the the children’s MOUTHS rather than their eyes ..

You think it's 'interesting' to play a game and discuss peoples conditions? Honestly this thread is sick and twisted... this is not up for discussion you are not autistic so stop bullying people & putting them down as though they're your experiment to divulge into

I found it rather interesting to be fair.

Just a shame I can’t get a score as the flaming link freezes after I answer question 30 each time

Dyspraxia ain’t autism but it’s a condition which makes people clumsy with coordination, brain, words and just in life but clever in their own way
