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.

  • Definitely Agree
  • Slightly Agree
  • Slightly Disagree
  • Definitely Disagree

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.

This "asking questions challenges my authority" crap can go die in a fire. Am I asking why you're the boss? Then maybe I'd be challenging your authority. Until then I'm asking questions because it would be helpful for me to know the answers.

Anyway, it sounds like you're not safe in that environment. I'm sure you already know that, and I don't know what options you have in your situation, but you'll work something out.

This weird attitude towards questions has puzzled me most of my life. People holding work presentations going "save your questions until the end" and being upset at people asking for completely necessary clarification in order to follow their presentation.

And people who ask USELESS questions at the end, which serves no other purpose than showing the audience that they too are very smart.

It's just a social positioning ceremony for some people.
