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.

    Dude, I lost my job and ran out of contacts at the same time. Living with my parents while I get back on my feet, and they fucking accused me of faking not being able to see without my contacts.

    After a month, a friend offered to buy me some contacts, and my mom’s response was to get all defensive and say she would have helped, she didn’t want to “enable me”.

    I’ve worn glasses and contacts for two decades… Some people are just plain stupid and so far up their own asses, that they’ll think and say anything as long as it lets them tell themselves they’re not wrong.

      This is so bad that I thought it might be satire comparing an obvious and typical physiological issue to autism for effect. I’m very sorry you had to deal with that.

      Person 1: I need glasses to see.

      Person 2: No you don’t, that’s nonsense. You just need to try harder.

      Person 1: No, I have to strain hard and get a headache if I have to read without them. It’s especially problematic given how important reading is on a daily basis.

      Person 2: You’re just doing this for attention.
