You can start out in life happy and socially well adjusted and if your life turns to shit with most people surrounding hurting you then you can have less capacity to have empathy towards others and a lower self esteem.
Yeah, ofc not..but being autistic is known to correlate. Alot of the questions are correlation based in a particularly longshot sort of way. For example the "I make meticulous plans" or "I consciously work out the social rules of a group" questions. At first blush what would these have to do with social impairment or autism?
Other than compulsively meticulous planners often being oddballs and outcasts that irritate the shit out of people..not much.
It could be the case, obviously, that a meticulous planner who consciously works out the social rules of the group is the queen of the roost. The most popular person in their social group. Hard work gets results!
