Every time. EVERY TIME somebody finds this and takes the test, their friends take it too - and then pop up with their results, asking "what does this mean"? Look. Unless your score was very high (above 35) it doesn't mean anything. There's a reason the AQ test isn't used for diagnostic purposes. It is completely possible to be NT and get a fairly high score. It's possible to be on the spectrum and score under the mystical cut-off of 32. It's possibly even possible to be on the spectrum and get a relatively low score. The numbers don't mean anything by themselves. If you're really curious about what your score means, get a book or an internet connection or something and research the autistic spectrum instead of asking "what does this mean, what does this mean". Nobody can tell you what a score of 17, or 20, or 26 means.
*sits and waits to be told what those scores mean*
