Wow, y'all are all very high scoring.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I suspected I was on the spectrum; interesting to see it confirmed.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'd be curious to see how a more comprehensive test distinguished various factors - with the test as it is, I could see someone who is very introverted getting a moderately high score.

I'm surprisingly good at superficial small talk if I can get myself into the mood where I'm consciously attempting to deceive people I don't know that I'm a courteous person who cares about what they have to say. With people I know or people whose opinion I care about, I always feel like I'm imposing on them with inanities.

I can't even.
18. Little or no. Who knew that my lack of attention span would keep me out of something?

I was thinking this as well; like, I can do smalltalk, I just don't like it. So is that "abnormal"? Are there people who actually LIKE smalltalk? And one that was "Do your friends often tell you...?" And I thought, "No. But because my friends are nice people, not necessarily because it isn't true." So, yeah, introvert probably mucks up the scale a little.

Also, what Connie said.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Also, a lifetime of observance, mimicry, and rehearsal helps me pass as more normal or ordinary. Some recovery after a half-hour of pretending normalcy in a friendly, crowded room is expected from an introvert, but the autistic garnish on the introvert sundae adds loads to recovery time.
Several of those answers were skewed because of trained and learned behavior. Asked differently, they'd have gotten significantly different responses.

No one has ever commented on my behavior, but for all I know people get together to shake their heads and mutter disparagingly of me.

It's the nonplussed expression, the momentary silent gap in conversation, and the side-eye stare that does it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I got 35. Not entirely surprised, but I think it's more social anxiety than being somewhere on the spectrum. (Not that one can entirely disentangle the two.)
