@Flutterbug9 I scored 30/50.

I probably would have scored higher, but context is everything for me. Circumstances, conditions and context.

I have spent my whole life identifying and analysing systems.

So what do I do now? Ask my GP for a referral or do I ask my ADHD psychiatrist?

I don't have a formal diagnosis. Just multiple professionals saying probably

Apparently it's best not to google the test (ADOS) but it's okay to know that it's mostly designed for oung cis-het white boys. And anything other than that can be like squeezing a square peg in a round hole. Lots of toys, building blocks to appeal to young boys. The changes they make to adult it are minimal

@Flutterbug9 's AQ test

Chances are that i might score lower on a different day. I'd prefer if they had either a N/A or "No opinion" option for some of those

@tyme This is the link for the interactive self assessment autism online test I did. One that my psychologist said can be a useful tool.

So easy, the way I like things to be. Answer each question , click “score my answers” and get immediate outcome.

I got this result:

Your score was 39 out of a possible 50.

Scores in the 33-50 range indicate significant Autistic traits (Autism).

@DogMan79 I’m quite happy with the way things have been for years ie blue text for username, links with everything else in standard, non bolded black. This entire colour thing started from someone on the forums preferring to bold each and every word (regardless how many) in entire sentences to indicate the importance of all the words.

during 30+ yrs working I was taught that holding or using capitals, apart from one or two words, is deemed the words are being yelled.

@Flutterbug9 you are unequivocally correct 100%
People who write in Caps Lock in Chats Posts or Text Messages are shouting.

CAPITAL LETTERS are appropriate for technical data, acronyms and emphasis.

Bold text is better used sparingly.

I have been using blue for limited words on here for emphasis for last week or 2 @Glisten

downside is it’s the same colour that usernames and hyperlinks appear in. Only blue colour works/is suitable of colour options available
