Crazy.

Even layman Autism tests are pretty crazy accurate even when self administered, for those who score high.
If you score high, don't pay. You're on the spectrum. Like 97%.
I've recently learned that when an experienced doctor administers those tests you also get bonus points for being overly pedantic. As in, if you feel the need to clarify every single question, get frustrated about the questions being too vague or get annoyed at the answer options not being specific enough, that will push you towards the diagnosis even before any sort of score is counted.
Oh, and most people with a false negative on the test get there by assuming that everyone feels like this. "I'm not abnormally sensitive to any sort of material. Just velvet and styrofoam are the worst, but everyone hates those so it's normal"
TBF from what I've heard, an experienced psychologist can diagnose someone just by talking to them for a few minutes.
