If you can ask, you don't have it. If you had it, you couldn't ask.

If you score anything on an autism test, I don't think that makes you a winner. Sorry bud.


Out of curiosity, why are you asking?

>>18029085
if you are browsing 4chan, it's pretty much a fact.

If you're asking whether your autistic the answer is you're probably not. It's incredibly easy to identify genuine autism.>>18029897
Anons love implying you have poor social skills so you stay at home or stare at your phone and browse 4chan, therefore you are autistic. That's not enough to be autistic, and it's more limiting on your ability to communicate

You can search easily on google for symptoms, and ask someone you trust about whether they apply to you. Consider them yourself, along with the other persons opinion and if you still think you might be autistic or you just really want to know then search around for a psychiatrist who will perform an evaluation. May cost a fair amount of cash. Up to several hundred dollars. They'll be able to you give you a clinical evaluation. Internet self evaluation tools are not a perfect substitute, but can tell you whether your concerns warrant further evaluation from a doc.

People say autism is a spectrum, and if that's the case, wouldn't everyone technically be autistic to a degree?

I mean, if you examine the behaviors of lawyers, engineers, QA inspectors, and other occupations where precision/accuracy is a necessity, you could easily mistake them for having autistic traits.

>in b4 I'm autistic for making this post

no, it is a mental disorder that can be stronger or weaker

you can have a tiny little cold that you can barely notice or you can be bed-bound for multiple days, but just because colds are a spectrum doesn't mean everyone is a little bit stuffy

if you can't tell you don't have autism, you're straight up retarded or normal.

What if i like and prefer being alone? does that classify as autism?

That alone is just introversion.

Generally, until you get a diagnosis from a professional how you identify is a pretty gray area. You can research common traits, lurk or participate in online or IRL groups, etc... But it'll probably take a professional diagnosis for you to quash your doubts.
