Ugh, why do I see your comments after I typed it. You are the hero we need.

  1. When I was young, I used to enjoy playing games involving pretending with other children.

Well my favourite activity is D&D, so forget the "when I was young" part

I guess children's imaginations are autistic now? Lol.

The exact opposite. Autistic children have difficulty engaging in games with collaborative imagination.

[–] HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assumed the opposite. D&D is cooperative imagination, something I would think would be difficult for an autistic individual. If you strongly agreed with that, your score would be lower. The 40 is not the person's score but the number of the question.

That's fair, I don't know why I assumed the opposite, but youre probably correct.

It's just a potential indicator, that's the whole point of the quiz

[–] Stuka@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Normal childhood behavior isn't an indicator, that's my point.

[–] smeg 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I'd assume that the people who came up with the quiz have identified that it is an indicator

[–] Stuka@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And clearly I'm voicing disagreement.

[–] smeg 1 points 1 year ago

The question is about kids on purpose because children play games of pretend differently than how adults play D&D. You can be VERY autistic and find D&D to be rewarding because it's not JUST about collaborative imagination.

I was about to link it too if someone hadn't already.

40/50
