What is the point?

I recognize myself in lots of things that are described by some people having autism and out of curiosity I ran an online test once that basically said that I might but it was also clearly not definitive. But more often than not I didn't really know where to put the cursor between totally agree and totally disagree so I answered some of them very randomly.

From what I understand if you are not neurotypical there is very little that can be done and I don't think it should be considered a disease to be slightly different. I honestly prefer not to know as I don't think it would help me in my struggles regardless of the result and if I was I am not sure I would want to be labelled as such. YMMV of course.
