Hi all,
I'm still digging around trying to understand what sorts of things are counted as meeting threshold for RRBs / IS in an autism diagnosis. Please note that I don't intend to fake any at my upcoming ADOS! What I'm after is some examples that allow me to settle the question in my mind that wonders if my clinical interview missed RRBs / IS that I *do* have, but aren't the stereotypical "obvious" ones.
I don't want a positive diagnosis if I'm not genuinely ASD, but neither do I want a negative diagnosis if I *am*.
Apart from the minor success I've had in discovering the RBQ2a, I'm drawing a blank in my internet based research.
I would like to point out some behaviours that people, especially neurotypical assessors, may not be aware of. Which are repetitive computer related tasks. I have been using a computer and internet since the early 1990s, and developed these obsessions as a child. Note: Most of which are crossed-over with my OCD, in systematizing.
