How neurotypical are you? :) | Comments

23% neurotypical - interesting because I was never "considered" to be possibly autistic or any way not "normal" except for being a quiet person, which is often just considered being introverted (including by myself). Granted, extroversion is the "norm" in U.S. society.

I've always been considered "strange" and usually find a few people who are also considered "strange" and sometimes make connections, especially if we have similar interests.

I chuckled at the question about the spelling errors. I used to do editing so I noticed them. I didn't get irked by them but I was thinking "this could use some proofreading" :D

54% Neurotypical, yeah, people thought I was a autistic because I acted like one when I was little but never thought like one, all my past meltdowns, my old anxiety and other traits have nothing to do with bothering or loud noises.

For example, when I covered my ears in the past because of loud noises, it didn't hurt at all, I was only scared to become deaf and hear nothing.

When I had meltdowns, it happens for no reason, I was traumatized because of my dad being violent with my mom in the past, and because of my past sensibility, I had meltdowns everywhere, even where no one is there and when it's quiet, and it also happened due to my paranoia, I was scared of people insulting me and then the fact that my own fear happened, I got an emotional meltdown, I tried to kill myself by banging my head on the wall.

I know it's too much, but I want to prove that it's not autism in case some of you think of it.

41% neurotypical!

- ever since childhood, I've had trouble socializing, so unless someone wanted to play with me (I had some friends in primary school for ex), I would just continue drawing in recess, since exploring new ideas and creating things is what my brain automically does. However, I always wanted to make friends, so not being able to feel like I belong is still something that upsets me to this day

- HATE loud and sudden noises, I was hella afraid of fireworks as a kid, so I couldn't enjoy it like other people, and thunder STRESSES ME OUT!! I can support crowds tho, even if the thing that would annoy me the most of them is how to navigate to them and how loud they are. can also support bright lights and most textures

- had trouble making eye contact as a child, so I had to learn how over the years, now I kind of abuse on it :b

- can't read sarcasm, wish I could

- most things stresses me out due to me overthinking everything since I'm VERY self-concious, so I feel like an outcast most of the time

and thats pretty much all the traits that'd possibly make me at least neurodivergent :]

27%. I guess it makes sense. My humor is a bit far-fetched for my age, especially for a 12-year-old, and I seem to relate more to adults rather than my peers. That being said, I definitely feel as if the percentage could be higher considering the situations are ones I'm unfamiliar with. It shocked me to know that the grammar errors were acknowledged at the end, though! I was absolutely caught of guard at the fact they were intentional, and not a result of some haphazardly put together quiz. :)

I got 45% just took this quiz randomly while scrolling through the website and finding tests to take. I was always introverted, Ill give it that. I genuinely found it hard to make friends, more so now that Im an adult and in college - in high school, I had my old friends from elementary school I was familiar with and knew very well. Im not sure if Ive been called weird before, most of my closest friends came from online and I usually just stuck to doing my own thing. I know this is probably pretty random, but Ive always looked younger than I am too and I dont seem to mind that

25% Not good at socializing, still enjoy it,; but in small groups. Better at other things. Possibly Autistic...

Well , I do have Aspergers Syndrome (Medically Diagnosed) which is a form of Autism. It causes much more severe social anxiety than those without it; Aspergers makes social interaction for me almost as difficult as moving around for a person with Polio. Just wanted to have the confirmation and and share a little bit.

74% makes since although I was diagnosed with pdd-nos which at its core autism however technicaly I'm not on the autism spectrum disorder because apperalty those with pdd-nos lose symptoms. Also those with pddnos have excellent social communication, no repetitive behaviors and interest, so that's why pddnos is not on the autism spectrum disorder. In order to be on the spectrum you have to have deficits in social communication and repetitive and restrictive behaviors. I have never felt different from anyone until high school. I have always fitted in until freshman year. Autism is life long while pddnos is not lifelong look it up. So yeah I don't have autism but I have symptoms.

I got 17%, I haven't been diagnosed so it makes me confused to see other people with higher percentages that are diagnosed.

It makes me feel like I over exaggerated, but I know I was as honest as I could.

I have many autistic traits and have been suspicious of whether I have it for a while, but I'm not gonna take this too seriously or anything, I am in the process of getting diagnosed for ADHD which I don't think I have, so I might try to get diagnosed for autism.

I got 10%, wasn’t expecting that at all. I haven’t been diagnosed with anything other than social anxiety (I’m eleven), and I’ve been thinking about getting it tested ever since my doctors said that I “had symptoms” which isn’t really a good answer because they decided to not elaborate on that for years. I have most of the symptoms, not much. The quiz said I could possibly be autistic but I relate with ADHD more. But oh well haha

34% for me as well. Though i know i'm not autistic i'm certainly intraverted. Though I had trouble throughout school with bullies and so I tend to shy away from most until i get to know them. It can be difficult for some of

us that are shy, kind, caring and considerate. Some people

see this as being different and anything thats different

can be misunderstood. We fear what we do not understand !

I got 37%, I'm 17 years old and I have shown signs of neurodivergence, I know this quiz can't be 100% accurate especially since I used to have depression and I have had high levels of anxiety since I was 10-11 years old, I have struggled to do lots of things due to my traits that are similar or identical to neurodiverse ones, should I reach out to a doctor?

Those spelling errors. I went through the entire quiz hoping that the person did them on purpose, thank God they did. Also, I got 13% neurotypical and am still wondering if I am just becoming hyper-aware of things because I'm researching autism, which I think I might have. What should I do if I don't have the courage to tell the people around me that I need to be diagnosed?

22% neurotypical but I haven't been diagnosed, don't have the money to go through that now. People always call me odd tho and my family is really patient with me at times because they say I am difficult and extremely complicated but they love me nonetheless. Do u think I might have Asperger's?

Also pddnos is some but not all symptoms of autism its basically autism but it's also not autism because it doesn't meet criteria of autism spectrum disorder. Autism and asperger's has all of the symptoms. So technically pddnos isn't autism it's a development disorder that mimics autism but isn't really autism.

0% neurotypical..

I've always felt like I don't fit in with society, but this was an unexpected eye opener. I suspect I may have ADHD and ASD, which doctors agree with. That would make me neurodivergent, but I didn't expect my "neurotypicalness" to be that low, I in fact didn't even think that was possible.

TWENTY-ONE PERCENT? That's it?! How on earth have I reached adulthood having gone undiagnosed? Apart from never having seen professional -- actually, no, that'd do it, I reckon. And I was completely homeschooled, so it's not like I would've been diagnosed 'at school' either.

28% neurotypical. I'm not autistic, but even my psychiatrist of fourteen years says I'm "odd." She said that if I wasn't so good at picking up social cues (or rather, handling situations where I don't), I would definitely be diagnosed. I'm probably just strange though.

Asperger's, high functioning autism, autism all have all of the symptoms, pddnos has some. AS, hfa and autism have levels 1,2,3. Pddnos mimics leves 1,2. Those with pddnos lose criteria of autism spectrum disorder as they age after 2-3 years old while high functioning classic autism is lifelong however very mild.

Also let's be honest there is no such thing as neurotypical that's fake. Every humans brain is wired differently and everyone individually has there own unique brain. Nobody's neurotypical, they just created it for autistic people to have an us vs them situation.
