Everybody gets one.
Is that really how autism works?
Some cases, yes. There are several kinds in varying levels of severity. I was given some 300+ questionnaire once during a smurfING EIGHT HOUR PSYCH EVALUATION (required for something that I wanted to join) and apparently I scored just 2 points short of "certain" autism out of a possible 99 for that particular range. I got a 60-something. I was in the range for high-functioning autism but apparently my high scores on the logical/deductive reasoning thing as well as the friendliness aspect, extroversion, morality, altruism, compassion, self-discipline, "consciousness," and some other stuff ruled me out. It was some weird new psychological test based on both the MBTI and the IPIP-NEO integrated with the five factors model. I'll see if I can find a copy of it somewhere (unlikely) if you guys want to check it out.
