Hello,

I'm not sure this will be reliable. I know you can diagnose yourself over the internet nowadays, this I would not recommend.

To be honest I think we all have a little Autism in our gene's. Just be careful who is providing this digital assessment. Make sure you aren't being exploited. For a true diagnosis go to your gp.

Also you may have some traits/characteristics but has this held you back in life? I think you only get diagnosed if it is affecting your day to day living.

Kind regards.

Hello Sugarsnap20

I haven't heard of the digital diagnosis pack. It can be tricky diagnose yourself.

The National Austistic Society have lots of information about diagnosis here - autism.org.uk/advice-and-gu...

It has a pre-diagnosis guide for adults that you might find useful -

autism.org.uk/advice-and-gu...

There is also information about autism diagnosis on the Mencap website here -mencap.org.uk/learning-disa...

You should talk to your GP about getting a diagnosis.

Please let us know how you get on.

Best wishes

Sarah
