Why are autism tests online the most vague tests ever. A buzzfeed test about what kind of bread you are would have more detailed questions

it’s funny bc autism tests are usually worded in a way that makes them difficult for autistic people to answer

probably going to get downvoted to hell for this, but it’s because any self “autism tests” are inherently not legitimate. it’s not something you can self-diagnose by virtue of the fact that self-reporting symptoms is too inherently biased.

i end up spending more time deciphering how each question is useful for the results (to better inform my answer) than i spend forming an answer

Same that’s why I can never take personality tests because I always know exactly which result the question is trying to get at and it can skew the results if I’m biased towards one or the other

most people who are seriously considering something don’t stop at surface level online tests, so while I see what you’re saying, I don’t think anyone’s self diagnosing from taking an idrlabs autism test
