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

8. If there is an interruption, I can switch back to what I was doing very quickly.

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.

          So, I don’t know if you’re criticising me, or just making an observation (either is fine). But here’s my reasoning for starting these posts, copied from the first post in the series.

          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.

          I chose this particular test because it’s a shortened version of one I was set by my own health provider, and at only ten questions it won’t outstay it’s welcome. And I chose to link to that particular website because they also include a discussion of the test’s strengths and weaknesses, and also I didn’t see them promoting any outdated ideas about autism (tho I didn’t check thoroughly). If you want to suggest any alternates, I’d be open to hear.

          And if these posts really bother you, we’re on question 8 of 10 so it’s nearly done. I’ll take any feedback on board before I do another.

          Yes, but it’s the website on the community sidebar, so I didn’t see how it made sense to advertise it.
