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

...it’s important to give full context of sites when they’re being used...and not just clip a random sentence out of context...

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 ...

I agree Ammi...I'm sure medical doctors who take years to qualify in medicine and then more time to specialise in a field are really pleased that a 5minute survey can diagnose you with suspected autism.

The survey itself is like a Facebook one to find out what Disney Princess you are most like

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.

Its not claiming to diagnose anything, no one has mentioned diagnosis and it clearly states this.

The average male is borderline autistic by default.

DO you think that is because males are more interested in "things" and females are more interested in people?

Plus the fact that certain autistic symptoms (esp. lack of empathy) are default masculine traits anyway.
