Autism Spectrum Quotient

Last updated on July 26, 2026

I generally skip the Facebook app nonsense, but after a few friends took the “Autism Spectrum Quotient” inventory, I thought I’d complete it again.

From the ASQ app:

I’ve calculated my Autism Spectrum Quotient as 45, which is very high. Most women score about 15 and most men about 17. Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35. However, many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger’s have no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives.

I’d have to look up what my original score was. I think it was 42. So, I’m more withdrawn after four years in Minnesota. There’s a shock — cold winters and a miserable city leave me alone at home. Duh?
