This is a screenshot from one of my current degree modules, the SK124 course.
I winced a bit when I read this. I think I have established that I probably squeeze nicely into the middle of the Broader Autism Phenotype category and narrowly avoid coming out the other side of with a diagnosis. Even so, seeing the description above pulled me up a bit because it's just, well, so exactly me. I know I am doing it, I see what I am writing in emails and moderate, edit, delete, try really hard not to be this person but even after the tongue biting this is me to a T.
Imagine the CDC next week:
"So are you doing ADOS or ADI? Did you train at the ARC? Do you believe the CHAT would have led to an earlier intervention? What are you scoring him at? High 30's? Low 40's? I say PDD-NOS, do you agree? Will you advocate PECS or SPELL?"
Oh dear! Must. Bite. Tongue. Hard.
