Autism in women and men Autism can sometimes be different in women and men. For example, autistic women may be quieter, may hide their feelings and may appear to cope better with social situations. This means it can be harder to tell you're autistic if you're a woman. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/autism/signs/adults/ There is a relatively simple online test you can take here: https://www.clinical-partners.co.uk/...lt-autism-test |

...being assessed for autism is quite a lengthy process as it’s such a huge spectrum for diagnosis...I would personally be very sceptical of an ‘online assessment’ such as this...and it feels quite trivialising to me...

There are currently no standard diagnostic criteria for adults with suspected ASD, but they are in development.

It’s a complex subject for sure . I still regard myself as Aspergers even though it is currently’ bracketed as coming under the ASD umbrella . I rarely take things literally although it does happen on occasion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 16-11-2020 at 05:07 PM. |

...it’s important to give full context of sites when they’re being used...and not just clip a random sentence out of context...
https://www.healthline.com/health/autism-in-adults There are currently no standard diagnostic criteria for adults with suspected ASD, but they are in development. In the meantime, clinicians primarily diagnose adults with ASD through a series of in-person observations and interactions. They also take into consideration any symptoms the person reports experiencing. If you’re interested in being evaluated for ASD, begin with your family doctor, who will evaluate you to be certain that there isn’t an underlying physical illness accounting for your behaviors. Your doctor may then refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for in-depth assessment. The clinician will want to talk with you about any issues you have regarding communication, emotions, behavioral patterns, range of interests, and more. You’ll answer questions about your childhood, and your clinician might request to speak with your parents or other older family members to gain their perspectives about your lifelong behavior patterns. .... ‘online’ is not something that can ever be used to diagnose something so complex...this really does completely trivialise ...

"The above 30 questions may be useful to understand if you are experiencing some of the common behaviours and thoughts associated with being on the Autistic Spectrum. The questions are based on an evidence-based screening tool – the Autism Spectrum Quotient – but are indicative only and do not form a formal diagnosis." |
