Let's Play AQ-10 • results

(first post)

Thanks to everybody who took part. Now it's time to see the results. I've counted up everyone's agreements and disagreements (using some amount of reading between the lines. I didn't count any that were unclear). The 'autistic' answer for each statement is indicated with bold type:

So, lemmy.world/autism picked the autistic option every time and scored a perfect 10/10. Interestingly, if we weight it proportionately according to how many picked each option, we only get 6.2, barely over the threshold.

Scores of 6 or over indicate possible autism spectrum disorder, so lemmy.world/autism should seriously consider the possibility that they may be autistic.

(Personally, I got 8. Go me!)

My intentions for running this test was it would be interesting and fun, and I think it was (One respondent was concerned I might have some undisclosed professional interest - I don't, but thanks for looking out for the community). I think the main takeaway is that interpreting self-report questions can be really hard.

Should I do another? If so, should I do anything differently?
