For a long time people have been saying i have autism, so i did this test and several others and they all agree.

But as a 30 year old man with a job and house wife etc i dont think it's worth looking further into

If you're comfortable in your skin, don't worry too much about it. But looking further into autistic communities and their struggles and solutions can still help you see issues you weren't aware of or find coping mechanisms for things you didn't realize could be easier.

Worth pursueing a diagnosis? Probably not.worth looking into? I'd say yes. But go with your gut :)

That’s exactly how I feel. I always felt different than the others, but couldn’t tell what was « wrong » with me. It was by pure chance that I started to look seriously at autism a few months ago, and it offers a solid explanation to … my whole life indeed.

I don’t know « by how much » I am autistic (or even if I am really autistic to begin with), but reading about the insecurities, explanations, and solutions from autistic people helped me a lot to manage situations that were very difficult to handle in the past (and more generally, not being afraid to do things differently, which was difficult when I was not admitting that I am different, and that is not a problem at all).

Plenty autistic, I assure you.
