Goofball Raven tries to befriend Confused Owl but is Too Annoying
I think we've all been part of this interaction at some point.
Tag yourself:
goofball raven
confused owl
both alternately
both at the same time
A correct diagnosis leads to correct treatment. Our diagnostic tools help you to help others. We have a wide range of diagnostic equipment and products including stethoscopes and sphygmomanometer. Stethoscopes are often considered as a symbol ... http://narang.com/diagnostic-equipments-products/stethoscopes-spare-parts
An artsy conveniently consolidated stack of North Devon Gravel Tempered Earthenware potsherds I made while counting them to catalogue.
Note the dual tones of grey and pink in the fabric (the clay part) of the ceramic. This isn’t the best picture to see it in, but on close inspection you can spot bits of gravel baked into the fabric: that process is called tempering and is where this ceramic type gets the second half of its name.
About This Artifact:
North Devon GT is an utilitarian ceramic from England commonly found on American Colonial sites from around 1680 to mid 18th century when another type of coarse, everyday pottery came into fashion. Common uses for this type were as milkpans, jugs, “and small storage jars though the latter are uncommon after about 1720 (Ivor Noël Hume, A Guide to Artifacts of Colonial America).”
Notes:
It’s not the most dazzling ceramic type, but it’s one of my favorites for how unique the fabric coloration is, which gives a relatively easy ID! It’s also very sturdy for an earthenware which means we’ve found dinner plate sized milk pan bases still mostly intact on our current site (exciting!! Big pottery chunks!) made of the stuff. The fact that we’re finding it in good quantities also helps us confirm the probable date range of the site. Yay ceramics!!
do you know any resources (quizzes, checklists etc.) for self-diagnosing autism in adult women? all the ones i've found are geared towards young children/people who display the more 'masculine' symptoms so i'm finding it hard to apply them to myself
I would like to caution heavily against relying on quizzes or checklists to try to diagnose autism.
A quiz or checklist can provide a general sense of whether or not there’s a chance you’re on the spectrum, however, these quizzes are neither sufficient to determine autism nor reliable.
Many of these tools simply do not go in-depth enough to get enough information about a person to even start to guess if they may be autistic. Even for those that ask a lot of questions, many of the questions are repeated and a large number rely on stereotypes.
If you are looking to self-diagnose, it’s ok to use these quizzes as a first stepping stone, but these should never be used as the basis for a self-diagnosis. It is so important to learn extensively about autism and understand the diagnostic criteria to know whether or not you are actually autistic.
If you are interested in pursuing a self-diagnosis, I recommend starting here.
I know it’s so tempting to just want to find something that will give you a quick yes or no, but knowledge and understanding of self (what a self-diagnosis really is) are not that easily found.

The AQ is a freely available self-report schedule. It is used alone as a pre-screening schedule but it can also be used in conjunction with other schedules like the RAADS-R, DISCO, and generalized schedules like the MMPI.
It is important to note that schedules like the AQ and the RAADS-R absolutely are intended to be self-report. The scoring of these schedules is also standard, and there is no reason why a computer can’t do it - in fact, most professionals rely on computer scoring.
You can, however, get these scores for free because they are standardized and well known.
So why self-report tests in a professional setting? Because no single test will ever tell you if you are autistic. They are used in conjunction with other tests, and what professionals are good at is identifying consistencies and discrepancies in your scores that allow them to:
1.) confirm a diagnosis
2.) rule out a diagnoses
3.) identify comorbidities
4.) identify fraudulent answers
Taking the self-report tests online is fine as long as you understand that what you are looking at is only one small clue in a broader mystery and that no single test is going to confirm anything.
That said, paying for these tests online as individual tests is… not fraudulent per se, but absolutely skeezy at the very least because accurate versions are abundantly available for free.
These are the ones that I prefer: http://aspietests.org/index.php
Note that these are only some of the tests that might be given by a clinician, and that the actual tests they give you can vary widely based on your developmental history interview.
Where tests differ between minors and adults, these tests will be for adults. These are also versions of the tests that can accurately diagnose non-male phenotypes of autism, but that doing so also requires knowledge by a clinician on how to interpret social-emotion reciprocation deficits in those phenotypes.
Put another way, the “female” phenotype of autism still meets the same criteria as the “male” phenotype, but what changes is how it meets those criteria. The self-report tests still accurately calculate for men or women, but it is the interpretation of those results by the clinician that messes up whether or not a person is autistic.
Part of this includes interpreting the empathy and emotional clinical observation tests and the emotional and empathy self-report tests.
Point of this… Avoid paying. Its probably a scam. No one test will tell you anything. It doesn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl because criteria don’t change, only how you get there changes. Taking multiple self-report tests in which are taken in good faith with exaggeration will give you a fairly reasonable baseline, but cannot diagnose autism because clinical observational testing is still required to compare to the results of self-report tests.

The Competitive Landscape of the Automotive Diagnostics Market
The Global Automotive Diagnostics Market is defined by intense innovation, with major players constantly competing to offer the most intuitive, comprehensive, and scalable diagnostic platforms. Whether it is hardware-heavy diagnostic scanners or cloud-based software solutions, the market is overflowing with tools designed to solve the complexities of modern, sensor-heavy vehicle architectures. The Global automotive diagnostics market was valued at USD 27,578 million in 2024 and is estimated to reach a value of USD 59,226 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period 2025-2030.
The Latin America Automotive Diagnostics Market remains a vibrant sector for these competitors, as domestic market leaders and international companies vie to capture the rising demand for professional-grade equipment. As local mechanics gain access to sophisticated training programs, they are increasingly demanding premium diagnostic software that provides guided component tests and rapid troubleshooting assistance. This competitive environment is driving prices down and pushing technical capabilities up, ultimately benefiting the repair professionals who are now better equipped to handle a wider array of vehicle makes and models than ever before.
As the industry looks ahead, the focus is shifting toward "all-in-one" diagnostic ecosystems that integrate repair manuals, technical support, and component sourcing directly into the diagnostic workflow. This level of integration is designed to save time, reduce human error, and allow for a more seamless experience between the diagnostic identification of a fault and its successful repair. Organizations that successfully implement these integrated, user-centric platforms will likely command the largest market share in the years to come, setting the pace for the entire industry. This era of high-speed innovation ensures that the diagnostic market will remain a dynamic and exciting field for years to come.
