Start here and see where this takes you. This is what I did. I’m older and don’t see a reason for a full eval. I’ve also been reading and searching to see if some things I do are autistic. If you aren’t sure, start here, or find some other online tests.
I didn’t consider that I am on the spectrum until my son and then wife told me I could be. That started my investigation. I also don’t have obvious outward characteristics, but I’ve been hiding it since I was in 3rd grade. Lots of things on my head and concealed.
I’m in the US. Not a formal diagnosis, but tested on embrace autism, and a few other sites. I’m the multiple retakes I get very close to the same results. I’ve talked with my wife (surprising to her the many things I do and things that she had no idea about) and son, and I’ve talked with a counselor (going regularly now). For me, I don’t see the value of a neuro psych eval.
60! Just now talking the time to figure out what it all means.
Embrace-Autusm.com had a test, I’ve taken it 3 or 4 times in the past 2 years, pretty close to the same results each time. I read an article that said to try different evaluations to get a better result. I tried 3 more tests online and get matching results. One reported something like autistic behaviors it something like that, heading their bet. Most ended says only a psychiatrist can make an actual diagnosis. I’m happy with the results I have. It has helped me figure out myself some, and I’ve gotten a little understanding from my wife, now that we can identify issues in having an being related to being autistic (it doesn’t stop arguments, but we get to a point of understanding quicker when my perspective is so different from hers).
I didn’t think I was, but after my wife and son said I was I took some online evaluations. Since then I’ve read more and more about it. I’ve shared some of my atypical behaviors, like being a little too literal sometimes, having difficulties in conversations, with my wife and it has given her a better perspective that has curbed things we previously argued about. I think I’m seeing more why I don’t quite understand other people, and my wife sometimes, so that helps preventing arguments.
Thanks for that. I did skim the article, but didn’t find the definitions for each of the three. I have taken other tests. I’m mostly helped to understand how I act and interact, and it helps my wife see me differently, mostly in the different perspective I have and when I’m stuck on something but she’s moved on. I’ll look at the other links, too.
I’m over the top on all, too. 4.5, 3.67, and 3.5 I’m not diagnosed autistic, but my wife and son thinks I am, and on all other tests I’m in range. Where is the details on what these results mean?
When I first heard of the Kardashians, this is what I thought of!
The Perfect Storm - the whole thing ended up being speculation from their last radio call in.

Biggest thing about Strange New Worlds is it isn’t trying to be too much, like Discovery. Discovery seemed to want to project an agenda. Strange tells an episodic story, with a little more overarching story, but not too much, enjoyable. In that regard it harkens back to the original Star Trek. I enjoy single stories encapsulated in individual episodes, and not a lot of pushing hard on some agenda.
Eon by Greg Bear. It’s interesting because it was written in the 80s, and the beginning takes across the early 2000s.
There are a few other books in that universe, 3 in that story line by Bedford, Brin, then Bear. Another series in the world, Caliban by Roger McBride Allen
My son printed one that is more funnel shaped to keep from losing any of the precious grounds.
Usually face up. If I’m somewhere I’m concerned about something getting into the screen (like on the table at a restaurant), then face down.
