Work in Progress
This will contain information on my journey to get an autism diagnosis, barriers, self-diagnosis, self-dx validity, and research on the topic.
"Results indicate satisfactory internal consistency of the NEO-PI-R, a satisfactory factor structure, predicted correlations with clinician ratings in the ASD group, and predicted differences in personality between the ASD group and controls. In conclusion, the present results support the use of self-reported measures when assessing adults with ASD."
Note: I've requested a copy of the paper from one of the authors, and will add info from it when/if I have access.
