This is the normal test for the condition: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/

And this one tests the common manifestation of autism as a fixation on one thing

You have to essentially live the life of the fool archetype. In serious moments and funny moments. Your moments where you outshine as a great person are there along with your moments you fall as one.

>What are the signs?
Social anxiety for no reason, generalised anxiety for no reason. Easily annoyed by sounds, quickly fatigued by bright lights, and exhausted when forced to socialise. Poor ability to maintain eye contact, flat monotonous speech, inability or difficutly to understand jokes, idioms, analogies, metaphors - unable to tell the intention behind someone’s words unless explicitly made obvious to you.

Constant brain ‘buzzing’ that never stops. Hypersensitive sense of smell, or touch, or taste which leads to disliking certain foods, or having a specific comfort food you always go back to.

‘Restless leg’ syndrome, constantly feeling a need to move/spasm your leg especially in bed. Often the leg does it automatically.

Having a specific fascinstion or interest that has dominated your life for years.

Finding it hard to connect with others/cant feel emotional understanding with other people as a constant.

Highly prone to catastrophic thinking, whenever a problem happens, mind always assumes worst case scenario as a default.

Constant need for routine or order. Organising things by size or colour, being upset by things that are unorganised.

Being upset or irritated by surprises, delays, or any suddne or abrupt changes of expectation.

your parents might notice it. Or nobody likes you at school, and you don't know why.

Fuck you bitch. Why are autism rates going up then?

I got diagnosed at the age of 12 after throwing a fit at school upon getting 60% (and not higher) in a maths test.
Went around punching everyone I came across.
Luckily, now as then, I don't have any upper body strength, so no one was hurt.
Before that, the running theory amongst parents and teachers was that I was a plain flavour of retard.

>Poor ability to maintain eye contact
Can attest: Eye contact is very uncomfortable; activates fight-or-flight.
I found it helpful, practising eye contact with a photo; although eye contact still requires conscious effort on my part.

>Easily annoyed by sounds
Met a poor guy in some service station toilets a few weeks back, who was just stood in the corner with his ears plugged with his fingers.
Some school trip was also making a stop there and making quite the racket.
Poor lad was just overwhelmed by the noise.

Kids with autism will still have friends in highschool if their parents are competent and know what they're doing. If they don't, their kid will become a 30 year old neet with no highschool diploma living in their basement.
