Agreed. Online assessments of any kind are of no diagnostic use whatsoever. Better to see a reputable neuropsychologist and get an ADOS if one is concerned about the possibility of autism.

The pop-culture appropriation of "Aspie" is troubling; it reduces autism to a kind of personality quirk, instead of the lifelong disability it is.
