When I started looking into this and taking the tests, it was before I even knew what masking was. So everything came out "unlikely. " The second I discovered masking, though, I was able to apply my experiences as a kid plus question my own behaviors. Immediately, the answers seemed to lack the nuance required to apply what my life became at almost 47. I started answering the test questions as if I was still the kid I'd been. It came out as undeniably, "You are most likely ASD."

I, too, care what I look like in public because I hate being called weird. I've just gotten very good at avoiding uncomfortable clothes.
