So I found this chart from help4aspergers.com after a friend had me take the autism quotient questionnaire (I got a 32 out of 50 twice). And I marked in blue all the things that I felt applied to me. I'm getting testing done in May, but from those of you who are Aspies (whether diagnosed or undiagnosed), do you think this chart is pretty accurate? I know there's a very wide spectrum with a lot of different traits that could be applicable. I just want to know whether I'm overreacting or if my self-diagnosis is fairly accurate. I'm 25 and always thought myself to be different and never fit in anywhere, and it does connect all the dots for me.

That chart was made by a woman with no relevant qualifications who self-diagnosed herself, and then later self-undiagnosed, saying autism is caused by bad diet and eating better is the cure. As such, I doubt the accuracy of everything she has to say about ASD.

Good to know! Thanks!
