NAS autism checklist in girls

[hellokittymania]

Can someone please link to it. I am almost blindso some problems were thought to be caused by that. I am an adult and need to be assessed for ASD.

Do I take checklist to the GP? How can I do this?

Also, I can be quite talkative at times but I get "stuck" if new topics come up and have a hard time. If I meet a friend and we talk about food, I can talk slower and manage. But if you ask "what I will do tomorrow I stutter, say things that dont make sense because i didnt have time to think about the question. I have trouble with a lot of sounds (s sh ch j z) and I find writing easier.

I like routines but get stuck on order and organising. I don't predict consequences and often dont understand why things happen. It h

oops. it has made it hard to find and keep work. I like news, and other things and can spend hours finding news. I can't see so don't game.

I also am very sensitive to noise, certain fabric.

Other things too.

I don't know what a diagnosis would do, if it would help.

This isn't a checklist but its an interesting article I read on NAS website regarding ASD and girls

Does anyone have any up to date resources along these lines please?

The link above is dead.

It's an old thread.

I know. It came up in search. I thought a bump was worth a go.

Don't bump old threads - start a new one.

I beg your pardon?

I'd like to see the checklist too if anyone has a link that works....

Just the etiquette on mumsnet it to not bump 'zombie threads' - that's why there's a warning before you post. Otherwise people read threads assuming that they're current. Not an issue with a short thread like this, but very annoying when you read ten pages before realising.

If you have a question, just start a thread about it.

Oh I see. You think I'm new
