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.

I really don’t understand the question. Seams like it is missing something like context.

I mean I notice all kind’s of little things that when I bring them up with NTs end of annoying them but would not have noticed otherwise. But other times I look at things from a wider view that that might look like I lack empathy.

I feel like questions with context are easier to answer. Like what you do in situation X.
