> don't fret, put your mark into one of those five boxes, move on to the next question, done, over, out

That is not always seen as an option for some patients. Having observed a family member take a specific autism questionnaire, I can tell you that as for some people - often exactly the people who should be dianosed - it does not always feel possible to pick an option that to them is wrong.

In said case, they ended up getting diagnosed with autism elsewhere, because that one question on the first questionnaire was one they felt impossible to move past, and so it was never submitted.

Thankfully they had another option that wasn't being gatekept with a broken quesionnaire.

This might not be directly relevant to the article, but I think it's worth mentioning it in the general context of questionnaire design.
