Is this statement true for you? Can you think of any examples? Is it an easy or difficult question for you to answer?

You can take the full AQ-10 test here. Note this test is intended as a quick screener, and cannot diagnose or rule out any condition on its own.

Haha, no.

If the meal needs me to attend to more than 1 kitchen utensil, something is getting burned. If you want to talk to me when I'm doing something, the something isn't getting done. I had a job where they wanted me to talk on the phone and type a description of the call at the same time, and, no way José, not if it's important that either include coherent sentences.
