So, because I feel awkward at school. I wondered if I should consider getting tested for neurodivergence. Looked at the NHS criteria. It suggested a test to decide if a referral is required. Did the test and then some other tests lol. One section I scored 0.2/ 20 and the result apparently suggests intimacy issues.
Out of how many possible for each? And do you want high numbers or low numbers?
AQ10 is out of 10... Above 6 suggests autism. I scored 8.
CAT Q is between 25 and 175, above 100 suggests masking autism. Neurotypical females score about 90 (according the the table). Autistic females score on average about 124. I scored 127.
Raads range is 0 - 240. Above 65 suggests autism. I scored 157.
AQ range is 0-50 with higher than 26 being autistic (but I've just seen this isn't for adults). I scored 34.
Aspie quiz was out of 200 but it's a picture and it works out probability of having Asperger's by percentage. It scored me 75% likely to have Asperger's. The chart in my next post shows how I scored. So on the social side I scored pretty low.
Edit: how I interpret the chart... Perception and talent are both typical and atypical, both slightly more typical. relationships a lot more atypical than typical and communication slightly more atypical than typical. Social about the same.

Setting off soon to see if the Dr will refer me for an assessment. Also, something going on with my skin. I have hypersensitivity, erythema and dermagraphia. Something like that. Can't remember exactly. Anyway. Hoping I don't need to take my top off. Hopefully they will just look at the skin that's not under my top and trust that it's the same lol. Nothing noticeable to other humans but noticeable to me.

Oh good. I was reluctant to put this here but I'm going straight on the limb and doing it anyway. When you get to the appointment tell them that when you were 14 some stranger lady on the internet said you were gifted and she's never taking it back.
I hope we get to see the final result of your eval! High end of the spectrum and she's not taking that back either.

Lol. I had my appointment. She wouldn't let me talk about my skin. I'll share what they say but I don't expect to be seen anytime soon. It's the NHS. I think for adults there is less wait and I believe they message every 12 weeks just to remind you that they are still planning to assess you. So that kinda says how long things take.
Spoke to Oliver and told him I was going to get assessed too and I asked how he felt about that. He said that it made him feel better because we are doing it together and he said what happens if we do have autism. I was like, I don't know. I guess we will look at what it means and go from there. But I realised he was worried about it and I didn't know.
Aw as it someone here that recommended the big orange splot book. Not sure where it is but I bought it.
