re: last post, I revisited(& retook) some online dyslexia tests out of curiosity

on one (ADDitude), tonight I got 32/52 but the results I have saved to print for my ASD/ADHD/dyslexia binder are 38/52 and I have no idea what that indicates lol

my biggest complaint about this test is that it only says "the higher the score, the more likely you're dyslexic" but gives no threshold for what is considered "high" like is 32 or 38 considered a "high" score? what is considered "low"?

but the other one (Teeside University) gives thresholds (under 45 is unlikely dyslexic; 45-60 is possibly maybe mild; 60+ is probably dyslexic) and guess who scored 61

#obv this is purely anecdotal & not a diagnosis or self-diagnosis #(especially since the scoring systems & risk thresholds are so wildly different)#(also there's some overlap between autism & dyslexia so that muddies the water a bit)#but this has been a tab in my diagnosis binder for a while so...#there's also one i have saved where the threshold for “significant risk” for women is 39. my score is 49 whoops
