haha yes that’s the test I took. I give you that there are some weird phrased sentences, even the authors say it by themselves, but I think that for people interested in some kind of certainty or self-acceptance, It really is a good first tool to encounter.

Yeees, that was the main purpose of my post here, I was thinking that doing some research and maybe start to going to a doctor could actually improve my social awkwardness. I have been a loner for over 10 years, enjoyed it and grew into it, but at this point I keep thinking that I need to intentionally putting myself out there, at least just for health.

I totally get what you say about your brain kinda switching its ways when you've been doing things by yourself for so long. Thanks for the advice, I will go out more often.

Completely agreed. Over time that feeling of not being enough, or not be a good companion for my loved ones have been slowly going away. Now, I´m gonna seriously be looking for a doctor, haven´t visited a psychologist since I was 10 or so. It is time.

For sure, I´m going to take your word in that, I really appreciate it. Please feel free to do the same, I got you!

Haha it's funny you said that, because that was my same exact thought before taking the test.

I always thought of myself as someone in the middle because I don't precisely enjoy social interaction but in most cases I'm KINDA good at it, but fast enough it comes the time for my brain to retrieve a little bit, disregarding if I'm alone or not.

But I was thinking these habits grew hard in me and by now I wasn't that awkard as when younger, but ooh boy, hahaha maybe I was a little bit wrong.

I just don't exactly what to do with this info, I mean, I'm in my thirties now, I'm far of having a secured life, but been having a good time in the recent years, despite all of the set backs and so on, I believe I reach a point where I can stand strong and face whatever situation i am presented with.

But knowing the results makes me wonder if maybe I should "adjust" my view of life or maybe grab some reading about the subject, there's a chance that I would come across something useful to improve life quality.

Or maybe I just need to keep going as I have, I'm not sure.

 

Dude, just found this comminity the other day. Being honest, I always suspected and actually acknowledged some of the traits i had and have as autistic-ish; hell, even when growing up my mom and I used to joke around about me being autistic. But time passed and learned how to "act in life" and things were left only as a joke.

Anyway, I saw here someone sharing a link to RAADS test. I said to myself, naaah this is just a bunch of people seeking for validation of the ideas they already have. Fast forward a couple days, that idea never left me and took the test (I know what you are thinking) .

I just don't know what to do with the results, honestly, I was expecting the score to be something in the realm of 100. But it is a fucking 176.

I just don't know, man...
