Autism Diagnostic

I am a sympathetic person.

I often use words and phrases from movies and television in conversations.

I am often surprised when others tell me I have been rude.

Sometimes I talk too loudly or too softly, and I am not aware of it.

I often don't know how to act in social situations.

I can 'put myself in other people's shoes.'

I have a hard time figuring out what some phrases mean, like 'you are the apple of my eye.'

I only like to talk to people who share my special interests.

I focus on details rather than the overall idea.

I always notice how food feels in my mouth. This is more important to me than how it tastes.
