The "are you autistic" test are the weirdest fucking thing. Every single question I read and look at all the answers and think "well (c) is definitely the one that would be the most autistic in trait. I definitely am most related to (c) but am I choosing this because I'm trying to be labeled as autistic? Am I actually more like (b) and I'm just biasing my answers to the point of the test? Why am I trying to be labeled autistic? Maybe I should focus on finding the least autistic answer and filtering that out first. Because I'm definitely not the LEAST autistic. Fuck, I'll just choose (c) for this one. I'm overthinking it."
Next question.
"Well, I definitely don't have sensory problems. Wait, what about masking? Am I masking so well I don't even realize it? I do hate going into a grocery store that I don't know the layout of. But isn't that normal? Yeah, I wear earbuds and don't listen to anything sometimes. But, that's normal too. Wait, what was the question?"
If I could take a test with someone hearing my inner thoughts, I think I'd be diagnosed before I answered the first question.
I think every single autistic person could answer the test so that they pick the least autistic answer for every question if they wanted to. But I don't think any autistic person could answer these types of test in a way that is accurate to themselves. At least for me. I literally am focusing on how the questions were made, what they are concluding, and coming up with corner cases for each answer that means none of them apply to me.
