Can you add two extra questions to make it an even 10?
- in the explanation for question 2, "its" needs an apostrophe: That is why it's called a spectrum.
- in question 4, the question would be better phrased at "People with Autism are eligible to join the U.S military" (since it's true or false)
- question 5 should say "by maternal coldness" rather than "my"
- the question 6 explanation states that Elon Musk was diagnosed with Aspergers, which (as stated in question 8) is no longer an appropriate diagnosis. Perhaps change it to Autism or ASD?
- question 7 could be better phrased as "Leo Kanner, the person who first diagnosed Autism, initially called it Asperger's - a term now used to describe mild Autism"
- in question 8, Aspergers doesn't have an apostrophe, but you used one for it in question 7. For consistency it would be better to use the apostrophe again.
