Those questions are just dumb, and they reflect the arrogance of the researchers, imo.

When they ask you what you do at a party, do they seriously think all of us just stand in a corner and hold drinks?

The questions that were being put forward 20 years ago (when I knew the researchers), which was when the ToM stuff was developing (and really 'mirror neurons'? what a dumb dumb concept from supposed neuroscience research groups) address apparent deficits when engaging in the NT world, but they have no room in them for coping strategies. We are supposed to be losers, suffering, and the idea that some of us think rings around the NTs that pity us slams into the ego of the researchers. rant.

Well if you're not a suffering loser then you obviously don't need help. /s
