Do people who are situationally depressed often score substantially higher on the autism quotient index than when they are not depressed?

Because a lot of the questions on the AQ index are skill-based, like "i am good with X" - questions that a depressed person might answer "no" more often than not.

tynamite's avatar A depressed person will be still be good at those things, but because they are depressed, their outlook on life is hampered, so they will be less willing to hail their praises and seize the day.

That's not to say that they are unable to do those things, just that they can't. Depressed people spend their time in an emotional black pit of doom, rendering them with a lack of motivation for life.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
