@actuallyautistic "When I’m reading a story, I find it difficult to work out the characters’ intentions."
At least (!) slightly disagree. Aren't stories usually written to give quite obvious clues? Or is that an impression I transfer from scripted reality TV?
@actuallyautistic "I find it easy to "read between the lines" when someone is talking to me."
Definitely agree. I guess I can tell when something is off because the lines are not consistent - but probably not in all cases, and that doesn't mean I guess the intentions correctly.
@actuallyautistic "I usually concentrate more on the whole picture, rather than the small details."
Slightly disagree. I usually go through a lot of details, to create my version of the "whole picture". How does one "concentrate" on the whole picture? Is that something like multi-field auto-focus?
@actuallyautistic "I find it easy to work out what someone is thinking or feeling just by looking at their face."
Slightly disagree, at least. Except maybe obvious things, like chuckling to overplay insecurity, or yawning out of boredom, or rolling eyes when annoyed.
@actuallyautistic "I find it difficult to work out people’s intentions."
Slightly agree, because for some people it's easier than for others. Definitely helps if they just say what their intention is, and have a consistent history of being truthful.
"The AQ-10 doesn’t offer a lot of insight, as it outputs just a single score. According to the test, scores of 6 or higher are indicative of autism or a significant number of autistic traits."
In the past I've given "no"s only to learn more about autism and realize that my detail-oriented self was assuming a very specific interpretation of the question and that when I answered the intent of the question instead of the letter of the question, I got a lot higher score. #FemaleAutism
I did a search for clarity and a search for ambiguity on that link you shared but was unable to find what you're talking about, so I'm not sure what you're saying?
