1. it does not have an inbetween/don't know option (1-5 with three being a clear don't know neither) - it is either yes or no. never a good sign in an experiment. because of that the questions are too leading. the responce "a little" is a rigged yes - it gives better results when sifting large ammounts of data 2. it asks about family life belore the questions and is skewed towards blaming the parents. an old idea that has thankfully been thrown out 3. the trick questions are "clever" questions. clever questions are ones where the researcher is trying to show how clever they are by trying to trick you up, not by assesssing if you understoiod the idea/question being asked 4. it is too long and covers so many differeing areas that may or maynot be connected with autism. such as dyspraxia and adhd 5. conversley it is too short to cover all the differing diaganosises to give a good evaluation of any single one this test is pyschobable - don't take it as any indication of a trend towards being NT or anything else.
