I scored 39. I suspect I may have aspergers syndrome (now combined with autism in DSM V). You might also want to try the RDOS aspie test: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

I also learned to speak late as a child.

These tests are basically to screen yourself and see if you should go see a specialist. As for whether you should care, that really depends. Are you concerned about it? Is there any significant difficulties in life you come across?

If no, don't bother. Adults don't get much out of autism/asperger diagnoses. If yes, then you might as well go see a specialist rather than worrying about it.

I just tried that RDOS one. What did you get? I got:

  Your Aspie score: 24 of 200
  Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 184 of 200
  You are very likely neurotypical
I got 5 for the quiz in the link.

I haven't taken it recently (and thus can't copy+paste my score), but usually when I take it I get something like:

Your Aspie score: 180 of 200

Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 20 of 200

You are very likely an aspie

Or something like that. Of course, the scores fluctuate from time to time, but it's roughly the opposite of what you posted
