I saw this test for Autism Spectrum online, and one of the categories was "Hunting." What is this? What does this mean? And it was NT hunting, and also Autism hunting. Does this term ring any bells?

This is the link of the quiz: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

Also, I was just wondering if anyone else can't whistle. I've tried and people have even tried to teach me and I CAN'T. It's annoying.

Put your lips in a tight O with a little gap & suck instead of blow. Until you whistle. Make sure your teeth are not blocking, the O & rest your tongue in down position. Like blowing into a bottle.

I cant whistle for the life of me either! I've had it explained to me numerous times by all sorts of folks, but its just not happening. I thought it might have something to do with how tightly my teeth are packed together? There is no gap at all in my top front 2 teeth, and they're kinda large (if that makes any difference).

Don't think you can do it through your teeth, if they straight & perfect, with no gaps.

Instructions

1 Purse your lips into a tiny O shape, leaving a small opening for air.

2 Leave a gap between your top & bottom teeth, big enough for tongue to go into
the gap. ( Jaw not fully shut. ) Think of a whistle has a gap.

2 Place the tip of your tongue behind your bottom teeth or against your inside bottom gums.

3 Gently expel air through your mouth, or you can suck.

4 Adjust your tongue position and the small O opening formed by your lips until you hear a
note.

5 Once you can sound one note, experiment with your tongue position and the strength of
breath to produce different notes.

6 Practice!
