I wear jeans from the thrift store, and t-shirts with funny stuff on them, and sneakers until they wear out and then I get a new pair, can't be bothered with makeup, cut my hair when I can't stand it anymore.

FWIW, this describes me as well, but I scored highly neurotypical on the quiz. Meanwhile, my DD, who has a lot more ASD traits than I do, has an amazing sense of fashion, color, and style, and clothes are important to her (but she is not much influenced by trends...that is, she considers them but only adopts them if SHE likes them). Just another data point...

ETA: I just did the quiz for DD (as best as I could--I overestimated when not sure) and got:

Your Aspie score: 79 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 103 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

Well, there you go.
