Many of these tests were first built and tested mostly on men. They often miss autistic women, non-binary people, and anyone who learned to hide how they think and feel. If you answer one optional question, we can point you toward tests that might fit your experience best. You can take any test at any time regardless.
Do you tend to hide or suppress the way you naturally think or feel when you are around other people?
This might look like mirroring how others speak, working hard to appear calm when you are not, rehearsing conversations beforehand, or feeling exhausted after social situations in a way other people do not seem to feel.
