I think it's funny that a test for autism lists a lot of questions that are virtually impossible for autistic people to answer due to the binary nature of the options.
Even the FIRST question is virtually impossible to answer with the options provided.
Can we add something like "I’m not always sympathetic, but there have been some occasions in my childhood and adult life when I think I've displayed sympathy"
@Alice Umm... autistic or not, missing the "sometimes" option is just bad design.
Maybe it's the intention to force a decision, maybe it's just thoughtlessness.
@admitsWrongIfProven @Alice To be fair, the test is intended to be given by someone who understands what each question is aiming at and can steer responses appropriately. The authors specifically say that it shouldn't be given as a mail-in or online test.
@BernieDoesIt @Alice This would imply that part of the question / an explanation that changes the meaning was left out and should be given by an instructor. Did i understand that correctly?
@admitsWrongIfProven @Alice You're probably thinking about that harder than the test designers did, but yes, you're right.
