I was assessed on line ,in two separate interviews by two different people,it was recorded and the three people together discussed if they thought I had autism.
Prior to that I did so many forms that didn't relate to me and every question I gave them feed back in writing about how it wasn't female friendly and very male orientated..there was no questions on how I coped with periods ,giving birth ,being a mum ,going through puberty,all these times caused extra stress.
The interviews were aimed at a five year old ,how do I brush my teeth...,making up a story from childrens toys ....and a baby book with frogs in ..I simply can't see how any of that could in any way diagnose me at 50 ...at 5 yes ..but at 50 no.
Why were the questions so male ,why was I asked if I like car numberplate s or trains ..why no questions on if I'm obsessed with clothes or makeup or clothes,or more clothes..but cars trains and number plates no ...
Nothing related to me ..not in the questions and not in the assessment..and I frequently told them I was 50 not 5 ..and female ,not male .
So how can they be sure someone has autism..and why is the whole thing aimed at 5 year old boys ..even the toys to make a story was a car and a football
