Broad Autism Phenotype Quiz

In my research I came across a term that I think fits my place in this whole autism debate swirling in my head.
The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a term used to describe a wide blanket of  social, behavioral, language, and personality characteristics that are not clinically autistic, but close enough to establish a pattern among those related to autistics. So, if you fit the broad autism phenotype, you have some problems and are perhaps quirky, but you are still normal.

I googled it and found at the ever reliable website for all your psychological testing needs (Okcupid)


Your result for The Broad Autism Phenotype Test ...

Autistic/BAP

You scored 123 aloof, 115 rigid and 100 pragmatic
You scored above the cutoff on all three scales. Clearly, you are either autistic or on the broader autistic phenotype. You probably are not very social, and when you do interact with others, you come off as strange or rude without meaning to. You probably also like things to be familiar and predictable and don't like changes, especially unexpected ones.
