Jquery: render blocking error VS not defined

If I remove the jquery.js to the Exclude scripts from Autoptimize list, Jquery becomes a render blocking script.
If I add it to the list I get rid of the error on Google but then I get this error on Chrome Console instead when loading the page:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined at Autoptimize_single_e4c886b4345291d5682832373e8c720a.js?ver=1.0.0:1

Any way to remove both errors?
I also have the “Aggregate all linked JS-files to have them loaded non-render blocking? If this option is off, the individual JS-files will remain in place but will be minified” and ” Let Autoptimize also extract JS from the HTML. Warning: this can make Autoptimize’s cache size grow quickly, so only enable this if you know what you’re doing” enabled.

Thanks.

By the way after the latest Google Speed Test update my score went down from 90/100 to 35/100. Freaking unbelievable. It says that it takes up to 10 seconds (sometimes) to load the page when actually in Pingdom it takes about 100ms.
