Well, if you ace the autism test it means you have autism, meaning you want it. If you fail the autism test, it means you are being troubled by the condition of having autism, and were administered the test to verify if your troubles are stemming from autism.
Usually the tests are not given to people that can successfully mask and be classified as “high functioning”. Implying that if you are interfacing with the autism test, it’s usually not to see if your excellent programming skills stem from autism.
This particular example would be the person failing the test, because instead of correctly assuming the question was to get you to match the numbers to the correct part on the image, you failed by following instructiones too literally.

My first thought was that the kid just aced their autism test, but I suppose that depends on what a failure means there
