Dude, just found this comminity the other day. Being honest, I always suspected and actually acknowledged some of the traits i had and have as autistic-ish; hell, even when growing up my mom and I used to joke around about me being autistic. But time passed and learned how to “act in life” and things were left only as a joke.

Anyway, I saw here someone sharing a link to RAADS test. I said to myself, naaah this is just a bunch of people seeking for validation of the ideas they already have. Fast forward a couple days, that idea never left me and took the test (I know what you are thinking) .

I just don’t know what to do with the results, honestly, I was expecting the score to be something in the realm of 100. But it is a fucking 176.

I just don’t know, man…

    I took the RAADS-R and got 106. I think what brought the score down was how long my coping mechanisms are in place, as well as the fact that I’m the most extroverted autistic I know IRL

      Haha it’s funny you said that, because that was my same exact thought before taking the test.

      I always thought of myself as someone in the middle because I don’t precisely enjoy social interaction but in most cases I’m KINDA good at it, but fast enough it comes the time for my brain to retrieve a little bit, disregarding if I’m alone or not.

      But I was thinking these habits grew hard in me and by now I wasn’t that awkard as when younger, but ooh boy, hahaha maybe I was a little bit wrong.
