This is one of a series of discussion posts based on questions from the AQ-10 autism test.

3. I find it easy to “read between the lines” when someone is talking to me.

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.

First post in this series.

    Just a heads up, I would take online tests with a grain of salt. I’ve always scored right below the threshold on online tests but I’ve been officially diagnosed by a handful of different doctors. It is entirely your choice to get an official diagnosis (mine was not my choice but I do not have it on my medical record), but at the end of the day, if you absolutely feel like you have it, you probably have it. Just use them to give you kind of an idea, remember that autism is something that you can compensate for and teach yourself how to work around, but it isn’t something you can get rid of. That’s why I’ve never really done well with online tests because they are primarily behavioral rather than mental.
