15 Questions - Developed by: - Developed on: 2022-06-21 - 387 taken

Autism, social phobia and alexithymia are not the same thing, but people often can’t tell it apart. Hopefully, this test can help you distinguish which are you mostly like to have.

1

Why are you doing this quiz?

I think I have a lot of autistic traits, especially when I was a child.
I think I might be on the autism spectrum/ I am diagnosed of having autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.
To make sure I am a neurotypical/do not have autism!
I have problems dealing with emotions…
I have social phobia/ I am afraid of talking to people, so I want to check if I have autism.

2

What do you think of the term ‘neuro-divergent’?

They should see the doctor for this…
Sorry, and what’s that?
I accept them fully, although I am not a part of them.
I am a part of them and I support them.
I think I am a part of them, but I am unsure.

3

Do you gather information that you’re interested in? For example, information about insects, dinosaurs or even historical dates.

I do not do this, but I can understand those who like to.
Definitely. I keep the information in my head like flashing cards!
I did this when I was a child, but not anymore.
That’s weird…I prefer social chit-chat, please.
Not at all! Why would I do this?

4

Do you have meltdowns?

What’s that again?
Not really…
Occasionally, yeah, but less as I get older.
I rarely have meltdowns…
Usually, I guess, and I hate it.

5

Are you more whiny, depressive and individualistic than most people?

To be honest, perhaps I am individualistic, but I don’t feel emotions…
I guess. I am more whiny and depressive than being individualistic, however, since I care about how others think of me and I can appear very insecure.
Of course! As a kid, they say that I am rebellious when it comes to authorities, and I also have depression, too…Fortunately, I am less individualistic now.
Maybe. I like myself’s uniqueness. They say that I am egocentric in conversations and have a lot of weird interests.
Nope. I am very optimistic and I want to fit in.

6

Do you find conversations difficult?

Yes, but only when it comes to emotions, so otherwise I am fine with it.
Yeah, all the time. I just don’t understand social chitchat. They say that I talk things over, and I don’t notice when others consider my conversations boring.
No I don’t. Conversations are easy for me.
No, because I learnt conversational skills as I got older, but I found it difficult as a child.
I told you that I care about how other people think of me and I can appear insecure when talking to people!

7

Do you make eye contacts in conversations?

No, because I don’t have the habit to/I struggle to do it.
I can make eye contacts now, but I couldn’t when I was younger.
I can, somehow, but they still say that I don’t care about other’s feelings.
No, because I am afraid to.
Yes I do. I find it easy, actually.

8

Do you have troubles reading facial expressions?

Maybe. I don’t understand (many/most) emotions anyway, so, you know.
I can’t! As I have told you, I am afraid to make eye contacts, let alone reading facial expressions.
I guess so. I understand simple one’s like happiness and anger, but I reading other ones difficult.
Certainly not. I am always aware of other people’s emotions. They even say that I have got a high EQ!
Do not ask me, I have Prosopagnosia/face blindness.

9

Are you over-sensitive/too insensitive to clothes’ texture?

Yes, as always and I do not like people touching my skin.
Not really.
Rarely. Instead I have weird feelings in my body. So inexplicable.
Sometimes, yes.
Hardly ever. I am just terrible at socialising, nothing else.

10

How many friends did you have as a child?

9 or more
I did not have any friends since I was odd/different.
3-4
1-2
5-8

11

Did you mind if your plan must be altered abruptly?

I don’t mind. I like changes, in fact.
I would feel nothing or almost nothing.
I’d go crazy!
I do not have any plans; I just want to stay at home alone and perhaps do nothing.
I would be unhappy, but I can accept it.

12

What do you do in your spare time?

Doing nothing emotional/working.
Hanging out with friends or do physical activities/Go to places where you can meet new people, like bars, parties and etc.
Stay at home alone and do not want to talk to anyone.
Always choose a narrow range of activities or interests to do in spare time, but with a few changes.
Always choose a narrow range of activities or interests and hardly ever change what you do in your spare time.

13

Do you often say something rude that you are not aware of it?

Yes because I am terrible at taking good care at other people’s emotions.
I was often told myself being impolite when I was young. Fortunately, not anymore.
Maybe yes since I always care about how others think of me.
Absolutely. Others tell me that I am very straight forward in conversations, but I don’t know why.
Not really… I am very polite.

14

How many tests like this have you taken before doing this test?

Some.
I have done a few tests about social phobia/Asperger’s/autism, but neither of them look like me. So weird.
A lot!
This is my first test about autism/Asperger’s/neurodivergents…
I have done a lot of tests on social phobia, but less tests about autism.

15

What do you think your result will be?

Perhaps I am thinking about it too much. I am just someone who’s shy and unsociable after all.
I am more likely to have social phobia than Asperger’s/autism…
I am probably a neurotypical/do not have Asperger’s or social phobia.
I have trouble recognising emotions anyway, so, you know.
I think I have Asperger’s/I may be a neurodivergent.
