28 points (16.4 is average, 80% of autistic persons scored 32 or higher)

But it doesn't say what percentage of non-autistic persons received similarly high scores.

There is also the problem of bias when taking the test: I basically know which answers point to autism and which don't.

Yeah, I don't have anywhere near the mathematical ability of a savant (I'm above average, but average is pathetic in this country). I'm just bad with people :-)

I scored 7.

That doesn't make me autistic.

I guess that makes me weird on a whole other level, when the normal score is 16.

25. Seems about right...I like object-oriented programming partly because I can 'feel' the code (not as in textures, but kinda like knowing/'seeing' where stuff is in a dark room).
