I see why psychology tests are considered quackery so much. Being anti-social, or just not interested in other people's life is not being autistic.
This test is repeatedly asking just two questions:
A test like that can only ever be a first indication. If you score high on this, it doesn't mean you're autistic. It just means you might want to talk to a mental health professional.
Sadly humans always want to boil things down to simple metrics (or maybe we just like numbers... wait a minute!) and people can't be bothered to do the hard part after getting the number. The classic example is IQ tests, which just measure how good you are at that particular quiz (despite certain people obsessing over them like the number is your IRL intelligence stat).
