The tests should only be used to make someone seek a diagnosis if they score in the range and it feels genuine to the person, but if someone can't afford a diagnosis or their doctor is a complete idiot (there are stories of people being told they can't be autistic because they have empathy or are capable of masking) then you can't hold someone being self-diagnosed against them. And I'm saying this as someone who has had an official diagnosis for decades (the second I found out there were forms of autism beyond the Rainman stereotype it was obvious to me and my family that I had it).
