To elaborate, many individuals on the spectrum have complained about exam papers being confusing due to long winded questions that probably require a 2 sentence answer. I too, find it utterly ridiculous that I have to sift through a load of confusing rubbish in order to give a simple, 2 sentence answer.. A seemingly simple answer I will get wrong because I have misinterpreted the question as a result of the convoluted and long winded nature of the question. I do think that there should be exam papers for aspies, unfortunately my brain interprets things literally in that given moment and I will give the wrong answer, to a question I would otherwise get correct. Exams should be straight forward and straight to the point. Of course they shouldn't be made easier or anything like that. But I do think we should be given an equal chance to success.
