Are you questioning if you might be autistic?

Maybe your kids are diagnosed and you’re questioning your own neurotype, or maybe you have an ADHD diagnosis and you’re wondering if you might also be autistic. 

But when you read the DSM criteria for Autism you have trouble figuring out if those things apply to you. 

Many high masking, low support needs adults struggle to “see themselves” in the DSM criteria because they were written for a different profile of autism, one that skews towards lower masking, younger children, and especially men and boys. 

Autism in women, autism in adults, and autism in higher masking people will look differently than the DSM criteria descriptions. 

Demystifying the DSM for Autism is a free 90 minute course will help you understand what autism looks like for adults, high maskers, and women who would fall under the autism level 1 diagnosis. 

I explore what “social deficits” and “repetitive behaviors” -the two main diagnostic criteria- look and feel like for this under-represented autism profile. 

This will give you a better understanding of yourself so that you can feel confident in a self diagnosis, and if you are seeking a professional diagnosis, you’ll walk away armed with the knowledge of your own personal history to present to a professional evaluator.
