What if I'm autistic? | Sit in on an assessment
Description
Tom always suspected he was autistic, but had never been formally diagnosed. What does finding that out look like?
In this five-part special series of The Briefing, we team up with Autism Awareness Australia and Sydney University's Brain and Mind Centre to walk alongside Thomas as he discovers what the autism spectrum is, and if, and where, he might fit.
In Part Two, we travel to Professor Adam Guastella's clinic at the Brain and Mind Centre to sit in on Tom’s assessment, learn how and why neurodiversity is so varied, and how one who suspects they are autistic navigates that complexity.
Listen to Part One here.
You can find the Brain and Mind Centre here, and Autism Awareness Australia's resources in recognising autism here.
