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 see it as “Im trying my best to do the right thing here. Im new at this job and I need you to tell me what the right thing is.” I always assumed that OUR job is to make sure X happens therefore we’re working towards a common goal. So I assume good intent. Learning about aspergers for me was largely a journey in understanding my own naievete. Since it would never occur to me to gaslight, play games, shun, triangulate, sabotage, or needlessly cause suffering to others it never occurred to me that others might do that.
