1.  According to population survey data presented on prevalence, approximately what percentage of adults over the age of 50 in England with autism were estimated to be undiagnosed as of late 2018?
  1. At least 1 in 5
  2. At least 1 in 2
  3. At least 5 out of 10
  4. At least 9 out of 10
2.  When health management breaks down for neurodivergent individuals, which specific stage of the "Participation Gap" chain involves an additional, effortful step to connect a registered physiological signal to a meaning (such as "I need to eat" or "I am escalating")?
  1. Noticing
  2. Interpreting
  3. Acting
  4. Sustaining
3.  A systematic review by Bruton et al. (2025) noted that a consistent finding in individuals with ADHD is a diminished capacity in which sensory category?
  1. Tactile tolerability
  2. Interoceptive accuracy
  3. Visual processing speed
  4. Vestibular modulation
4.  According to the scoping review data on pediatric mental health studies, what is highlighted as a major limitation regarding how wearables are currently utilized in the literature?
  1. Devices are used almost exclusively for active intervention rather than baseline assessment.
  2. Autistic youth consistently fail to tolerate wearing consumer-grade devices.
  3. Wearables have been used almost exclusively for passive monitoring and assessment, not intervention.
  4. Most study sample sizes are too large, regularly tracking over 5,000 active participants.
5.  what core clinical principle guides device selection?
  1. The most effective device is always the most expensive research-grade technology available.
  2. Selection should favor standard smartwatches over screen-free rings to maximize data visibility.
  3. Caregivers should completely control the device selection process to ensure long-term charging and syncing compliance.
  4. There is no universal best wearable; it must be dynamically matched to the individual's sensory profile, occupational goal, and stage of life, and chosen with them.
