I thought it could be fun/interesting to go through an autism test question by question, and see what resonates with people, and how we approach thinking about the questions. So to start, here’s question 1 of the AQ-10.

1. I often notice small sounds when others do not.

  • Definitely Agree
  • Slightly Agree
  • Slightly Disagree
  • Definitely Disagree

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 find 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.

    Thanks, that’s actually quite validating to know. I’m not sure if hearing is even the right word - I’d just notice I was flinching as if there were a loud noise, and then - hey, there’s bats outside. Getting older now, so I think I’m cured of that at least.
