I hated that question, it's a simple yes or no on a factual statement - either people do tell you or they don't, there's no degrees of agreement. Anyway, turns out I'm autistic.
Just asking for opinions on these forms and questions would probably be a more accurate way to gauge autism anyway. Never met a fellow autist that didn't have something to say about how annoyingly imprecise these forms always are
Evert thought comes with Bonus Context
Maybe complaining that they are imprecise is actually part of the diagnostic test....
I am wondering what you guys think about this one:

27% German 53% Autistic
But those are bad, those are always missing crucial clarifying details that could change the answer.
