I'm diagnosed with Asperger's but I've overcome a lot of my problems.

I can 'fake' social interaction very well but internally I apply to a lot more of these questions than I actually answered I did. In the past, I think I would have been much higher up on the Autism scale.
so not trying to be stereotypical, but are you really good at speedy computations in your head and can you memorize long patterns of numbers? ive never met someone whos autistic so im curious how much they show on tv is true?

Not in the slightest; on the contrary, I'm absolutely horrible at that. However, I'm extremely good at logic, patterns, and abstraction, which are more in-depth skills that they're not allowed to show on TV.
Because 90% of the world's population would not be able to understand any of it, which would lead to them not watching it, which would lead to loss of advertising revenue, which would lead to loss of profit, which would lead to people getting fired. It's just against the rules. Showing that kind of stuff on television would be absolutely absurd.
Unless I'm reading this wrong the lower the score the less likely for autism
In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.
37 for me. Most people consider me awkward socially, and I can only carry on conversations if I am really interested. I can't pretend very easily to be interested in things that I am not... probably a bad thing, and I am trying to work on it. I often say words in the wrong order, or can't put words to my thoughts.
Those are just a few out of many qwerks I have.
On the bright side, I could learn really easily and actually get pleasure from learning. I wouldn't say that I am more or less intelligent than most people, just more 'lop-sided' in the areas of my brain development.
I haven't gone for a diagnosis of autism or aspergers. But I wouldn't be surprised if I were.

That is weird, I didn't notice that. I wish the questions on these kinds of tests would be more straight-forward, with fewer adjectives so I'd be more comfortable just saying "yes" or "no".
