There was also a Faux Pas test and it was horrible.
Nothing could really be determined, except for the control questions.
Example:
Quote:
Helen's husband was throwing a surprise party for her birthday. He invited Sarah, a friend
of Helen's, and said, "Don't tell anyone, especially Helen." The day before the party, Helen was
over at Sarah's and Sarah spilled some coffee on a new dress that was hanging over her chair.
"Oh!" said Sarah, "I was going to wear this to your party!" "What party?" said Helen. "Come on,"
said Sarah, "Let's go see if we can get the stain out."
Quote:
Did Sarah remember that the party was a surprise party?
Impossible to determine, Sarah may have had ulterior motives to say what she said.
Also, she did not try to save herself.
Quote:
How do you think Helen felt?
Impossible to determine for many reasons.
For one, I cannot see into her mind and see her emotions.
Even for non-autistics this is ridiculous.
There was also something about curtains and I remembered that saying something such as "Those ccurtains look horrible" is not something I would do, at least, not spontaneously.
First, my opinion was not asked for.
Second, I gain nothing from saying that curtains look horrible.
The second only applies if the first = true, though.
