Are you autistic? Have you ever been diagnosed by professional means?
As many know, Tumblr is one of The Autistic sites, and we discuss it here a lot. But recently far more people claim autism than merely a year or two ago, so I wonder on what basis they claim it.
By official tests I mean big basic ones like RAADS-R, AQ, Aspie Quiz, ASSQ, TAS20.
