Scroll down to Scoring.
30. Color me surprised. In all honesty, I am not lending that score a lot of significance.
Edited to add: I am more curious about alexithymia now, as a matter of fact. It sounds like a better match to me. Thanks for the link.

Scored 33 on the 50 question test.
The Aspie Quiz (88 out of 200) gave me 79% probability of being neurotypical.

Just 20.
I think I'm just eccentric and unexpressive. Sometimes folks have said I seem a bit autistic, but I don't think I am.

25 for me.
I've wondered at a few points in my life if autism might explain my experiences, but I wonder if it could be a potential diagnostic overlap with OCD leading to social difficulties.
Autism seems more like several dozen conditions in a trench coat than anything specific, I guess that's why it's called a spectrum.

I scored a 30, but I want to make an essay about how this test reinforces a 'left-brained introvert' stereotype of autistic persons without a lot of nuance for how social masking and comorbidity with ADHD can change those questions about desire for social connections, empathy, desire for novelty, etc. (Perhaps the most autistic run-on sentence.) It also had only one question each about sensory differences, emotional regulation or execuitive function. Which was odd.
It's so TV stereotypical, in fact, that when I answered with all the stereotypes (basically Sheldon from big bang theory) I got a 41.
This isn't surprising from an online quiz, even one with austensibly more credibility from a medical website. But it just goes to show how out of date views on autism continue to linger.

I've been "diagnosed" with autism - only by autists. I've never even been suspected by anyone not on the spectrum.

Me too, lol... Scored 39 and would like to have a word with the quiz designers about their methods and bias

I've read we're all on that spectrum, just that some are at the neurotypical end.
I don't think I would have got such a high score in the dim and distant past, so I'm not sure about the meaning of my result since autism is not something that "goes away" - one is born with the neural wiring.

A small percentage of the control group scores 32 or higher. There could be other reasons for that. I'm thinking anxiety disorder, depression, general neurosis stuff, etc.

Nah. That's just indicative of revoltinestism. It's probably a diagnosis and mental health crisis of it's own, to be separated out from all the others.
