This preliminary study was aimed at developing the questionnaire and determining its content validity and internal consistency.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>METHOD.<\/jats:bold>\n                    Forty-six adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD), ages 18\u201339, were interviewed with the questionnaire.
