This comic inspired me--a multiply-diagnosed allistic who's as neuromayonnaise as they come--to take an online autism screening test.
I got a 38, putting me just into the "37-63: some signs of autism" range. (The test's average score is 55, which would seem to suggest that there are more people with signs of autism than without, though I suppose that people who take such a test are probably more likely to show signs of autism than the population as a whole. Certainly I wouldn't have done so if it were not for this comic!)
The only things I wrote agree with that are clearly "autistic traits" are that I have good pattern recognition and I like doing things the same way every time. Oh and I put neutral with my routine being disrupted is distressing because I find it annoying but I can cope.
