Is this statement true for you? Can you think of any examples? Is it an easy or difficult question for you to answer?
You can take the full AQ-10 test here. Note this test is intended as a quick screener, and cannot diagnose or rule out any condition on its own.
I am not to my knowledge on the autism spectrum.
I think there’s a big difference between what someone’s thinking and feeling. Like, I can tell if someone looks like they’re deep in thought from their face but there’s no way without more context to know what they’re thinking about. If they’re looking at a restaurant menu it’s probably what to order, but they could also be thinking about anything.
