    14, But them I’m a little to the extroverted side. I think for a lot of statements, a neurotypical introvert would fall on the same side of the agree/disagree divide as some with autism, but maybe with differing intensities. But, as this is a self reported test, there’s no real indicator what differentiates strongly agree from slightly agree.

    So, for example: both introverts and autistic people will probably might have difficulties meeting new people. But if you as an introvert compare yourself to extroverts around you, you might say you strongly agree with having problems meeting new people, when you have little problems compared to many autistic people.

    Or maybe you’re autistic. I’m not a cop.

    (And yes, I know that the concept of introverts vs extroverts has some flaws, but it works for this specific situation).
