I'm Tay, a mom of two who received an autism diagnosis at the age of 31. At the beginning of my journey it was hard to find others who were in a similar situation, so I started this channel to share resources, information and products that have been helpful along the way. I am not sponsored, so everything I share is something I find genuinely useful!
I’m also not a doctor, so please talk with your provider before incorporating any suggestions I make in my videos. This video is based on my own personal experience and not to be taken as medical advice.
Help me continue creating free content by subscribing to my channel! It's free and you'll get updated any time I post a new video. And as females are highly under-diagnosed, please share with any others you feel could benefit from this information.
The diagnostic process can look different for everyone, but the main parts of my experience were:
Extensive History Background Forms (1:45)
Pre-Evaluation Questionnaires (3:03)
Pre-Evaluation Questionnaires for Relatives (6:17)
In-Person Interview (6:58)
In-Person Testing (8:52)
Self-Evaluation Write-Up (11:05) *THE MOST IMPORTANT PART*
TESTS/QUESTIONNAIRES FOR SELF
(*Even though you can take some of these tests online, it’s extremely important to have the results measured and evaluated by a professional.)
