You can probably take a 100-question online test to see if you're autistic but really you only need the first question to be "did you look for a 100-question test instead of a 10-question test because of the greater accuracy that promised?"

Amazon Pharmacy has a huge pile of software that reliably informs me once a month that it is "time to refill my medication" exactly 2 days before it's possible to do that, which they know, because they are the ones who tell me I can't order it yet when I click the "time to refill" link.
