I tried the test. I got 24 out of 30. Figuring out what people were thinking was challenging until my mid-20s, when my ability to feel empathy grew exponentially. Even so, it looks like I could still be autistic, too. Thanks for sharing this.
John, knowing you as long as I have now - my goodness, it’s been 15 years - I would strongly suspect you may be or at least some other variety(ies) of neuro-atypical. I would say it likely contributes to you being such a thoughtful and endearing thinker. I’m so glad we’ve gotten to connect and I appreciate your perspectives.

Welcome to the family of the self-aware Autists.
I only discovered my Autism exactly 9 years ago, at the age of 55.
