This is one of a series of discussion posts based on questions from the AQ-10 autism test.
9. I like to collect information about categories of things.

- Definitely Disagree
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.
Information about categories of things
Does this mean, having an in-depth knowledge about a certain topic (category) - the ‘special interest’ question?
It doesn’t look like ‘do you like to categorise and structure things’, or does it?
Slightly agree to the first: movie quotes, car makes and types, x86 CPUs of the 90s and early 2000s. Though I wouldn’t call it special interest.
Agree to the second. Finding categories for a given set of items feels natural and makes life easier for me.
