[QUOTE="AncienMembre, post: 16325448"] [SIZE=6][B]Diagnosis of autism in adults[/B][/SIZE] 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. 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.

It can also help those around you to understand and empathize more with your unique characteristics. Better understanding the set of challenges you face can help you find new and inventive ways to work with or around those challenges. You can also work with your clinician and your family to seek treatments that may be right for you.
