This is one of a series of discussion posts based on questions from the AQ-10 autism test.

8. If there is an interruption, I can switch back to what I was doing very quickly.

  • Definitely Agree
  • Slightly Agree
  • Slightly Disagree
  • Definitely Disagree

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.

First post in this series.

Not very quickly, no. If the task needed working memory (keeping count or something), that will be gone. I'll need to take a moment to reassess what I was doing and where I'm up to. If there were X,Y,Z subtasks, I'll need to check which ones are done and which not. A long enough interruption and I might forget entirely and not return to the task at all. If someone interrupts me by trying to help, and I don't immediately understand what they're trying to do, I find that very irritating.

Disagree. I'm leaning towards Definitely Disagree but it's not a definite definitely haha.
