Took the RAADS-R autism test, mostly for lulz.

I wish there were a "sometimes" option, not all-or-nothing, but.

I took that and landed at 124. hmm indeed. (I am formally dx'd ADHD combined type. I do not have and am not pursuing a formal autism diagnosis because frankly I don't want it on my medical chart.)

mine was:
language - 11
social relatedness - 40
sensory/motor - 46
circumscribed interests - 27

But it's hard to judge some of it because my memory is for shit these days and I don't remember all the details of why I was so socially awkward as a kid, just that I was. Still, I'm pretty sure I'm AuDHD at this point.

brains are weird aren't they?

It is often stated that wanting to fix the test is worth an additional ten points on the test.

Considering I have an actual diagnosis of autism, I'm not remotely shocked, but still. Oof. That's a high number.
