This document contains questions about feelings and personal experiences. It asks the reader how they are feeling, if they like trying new things, and if they can identify or would like to learn any of the activities shown in photos. It also contains questions about subjects the reader finds fascinating or frustrating, the last time they were exhausted and what they were doing, how they calm down when anxious, if unfamiliar social situations make them comfortable or awkward, how they react when embarrassed, and if they've ever been thrilled by a gift.
