I’ve never seen this written about before but it’s my exact experience as well! So unsurprisingly I didn’t think I was autistic or ADHD from doing all the online questionnaires. Thankfully I have read about the broader experiences which match far more closely with my own but I completely agree, these need to be adapted asap.
Amen, amen, amen

Related to being called a smartass... I have a vivid memory of being about 7 and getting a maths question in a test incorrect.
The question was ‘subtract one quarter from four.’ I answered ‘3’ instead of 3.75. It’s that darned literal thinking again!
Not your fault they worded it ambiguously!

Yes! Wth are people doing NOT consulting autistics on assessments about them? That's like writing a guide to dating based on conversations with cats.
