Survey Results
These results are dynamically generated and provide a side-by-side view of how autism is seen, as given by all who have taken the surveys. These should not be used for statistical purposes, but as the number of surveys taken grows, the statistics will naturally become more and more accurate. The real purpose of these surveys is to educate, and hopefully correct some of the assumptions about autism that many of us, autistics and neurotypicals alike, may make.

Additional Autistic Features |
Other aspects that may be applicable to autism:
"I think people with Asperger's can actually be highly perceptive to the moods of others, and general energy of a group of people. I know I am."
Autistic people should not be neglected or ignored. Should not hurt their feelings.
being Gay
Sensory integration
"Ticques, but not enough to receive a diagnosis of Tourette's. Mild dyspraxia of speech, compensated for by speaking slowly and clearly, otherwise frequently unintelligible."
"A doctor thought I was a savant, I don't think so."
"I have special skills: an extraordinary rote memory, superior intelligence, analytic abilities that mitigate my disabilities. "
"Tics, but not severe enough for Tourette's"
I clicked no to those I don't know much about also to ones like OCD that I consider part and parcel of my autism.
"For savant super powers have the
ability to remember all facts and
ideas I encounter in reading.
Although not precise details, for
example Columbus discovered America,
but I wouldn't remember the year.
"
I have a corpus collosum defect
There is a connective tissue disorder like Ehlers-Danlos in my family members who are the most AS like. Art is an important part of my life and so is Science. I am a very humorous person. I liked spinning things when I was a kid and I still do.
"Just core, basic, atypical and minimal autism."
"Tourette-like symptoms, but not severe"
I am right brain dominant.
Synaesthesia
"I have an undiagnose mild case of Tourrette's, or perhaps it is just a tic disorder. No one can be sure. This might be cause by autism."
"Amnesia, disorientation"
no
no
N/A
addictive personality
None
I am very talented at music and art. I don't think verbally most of the time.
hyper-focus.
immaculate memory.
visual thinking.
alcohol drank by mom
odd concepts of purpose in the world (i.e. as a useful object not a human being like other people) and liking to be around animals vastly more than humans
none
| Other aspects that may be applicable to autism:
i have been treated for depression. if you are not looking for officially dx'd then i have issues with add, ocd, and anxiety(both general & social)
I have always had problems in social situations and have a hard time with eye contact. I have always excelled in educational studies with good teachers and was thought to be gifted as a child, although I was shy and tended to stay to my self.
N/A
inability to comprehend math
see the replies in other tests.
Has sensory intergration dysfunction. Has no fear, very sensitive to touch, taste, smell etc.
Think I may have slight synaesthesia: I experience darkness as 'warm', and thus hard to sleep in.
Many of the items mentioned used to be much greater in intensity when I was a little kid. My uncle was autistic, my cousin is autistic, and several other family members exhibit features in varying degrees.
FOOD ALLERGIES, LEAKY GUT, CANDIDA OVERGROWTH,GLUTEN, CASEIN LEAKING IN THE BLOOD AND BRAIN
one child PDD-NOS, one ADD
emotional regulation issues
i feel different from the norm. as if i know more, see more, understand more.. without being or feeling superior. i feel very misunderstood.
Sensory overload tendency.
| Other aspects that may be applicable to autism:
Nope. Pretty straightforward, textbook aspie. You could add sensory integration dysfunction to your survey, though.
Amazing ability to memorize facts, esp. if it is of interest. Might possibly have mild savant abilities, but not officially dx'd as such.
for some perhaps sensory dysfunction disorder (SID)
none
stemming with repeated phrases when by herself
my son seems unable to stop requesting the same things even after the request has been answered...this seems to worsen over the past few months he is becoming more aggressive with females, and listens more readily to males
walks with limp and his left side is difficult to coordinate
not sure
no i dont
no i dont
many rituals(similar to ocd but not seperately diagnosed)
transitional issues..aggression
Father has autism.
can not express his feelings
Highly anti-social
Incredible memory. Ritualistic behaviors.
stimming-arm flapping when excited or happy

Other co-morbid conditions: I do not know what all of these are. CAPD has been suggested as an explanation of why I can't understand speach against background noise. No professional has diagnosed this.
