Autism: Five Question Test, Hyperfocus, and Trauma-induced Autism
This chapter discusses a researcher's claim that five specific questions can serve as a litmus test for autism, addressing crying, laughter, fears, current feelings, and boredom. The chapter also explores the hypothesis that noise sensitivity in autism is caused by hyperfocus, and the suggestion that autism can be caused by trauma leading to an inability to feel emotion.
