[Helpful Resource] Online Self-Report Assessment Related to Autism (embrace-autism.com)

A thorough list of scientifically based assessments with descriptions and ability to complete and score. One of my favorite things about a few of these test is that they show that the spectrum isn't a continuum, but more of a web of traits that are on separate but related continua.

Feel free to share your scores to engage in discussion!

Note: A self-assessment is not sufficient to properly assess autism. These assessments can provide helpful insight, but a proper assessment includes at least a thorough interview by a licensed mental health professional that specializes in autism assessment.

The probability does not seem to correspond directly to the 0–200 scoring range, however. We found that:

A score of 140 or more results in a 100% probability of being autistic

A score of 100 results in a probability of 50% probability of being autistic

A score of 95 results in a 63% probability of being typical (so 37% probability of being autistic)

Yep, you're near close to the 100% probability. Have you considered seeking an official diagnosis?
