Autism Screening Test

I prefer doing things myself rather than with other people

I like keeping to the same way of doing things rather than changing it up

I often hear little sounds that other people don't seem to notice

When lots of people are talking in a group, I am able to follow what everyone is saying

I can easily tell what someone means by their tone of voice

When I am interested in something, I get really, really into it and feel upset if I can't do it

I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends

I find myself spotting and remembering things like number plates or train times

People sometimes tell me that I talk about the same thing for too long.

I often spot patterns in things around me (like in numbers, shapes or colours)

When my daily routine changes unexpectedly, do I feel OK about it

I find it easy to start talking to people and keep a conversation going

When someone is talking to me, I can easily understand what they're hinting at

When I look at things, I tend to notice the small details more than the big picture

I can usually tell how someone is feeling just by looking at their face

I would rather spend time in a quiet library than at a noisy party

When reading stories, I find it easy to picture what's happening in my mind

I find myself getting completely absorbed in my interests, so much that I forget about other things

I enjoy having casual chats about nothing in particular

When I’m talking to someone, I sometimes find it tricky to know when it's my turn to speak.

I enjoy doing things without planning them first

I often find it hard to understand why people find certain jokes funny

When I was little, I enjoyed playing pretend games with other children

I like collecting lots of information about specific things (like dinosaurs, trains, or plants)

New situations make me feel worried or uncomfortable

I find it hard to tell what other people might be thinking

When someone interrupts what I’m doing, I can easily go back to my task

People often tell me that something I’ve said is a bit rude, even though I thought it was fine

I prefer looking at the whole picture rather than focusing on tiny details

I find it easy to do more than one thing at once
