I am 49 and recently went for my autism assessment and they have rung me this week to say I don't fit the criteria as I can communicate well, understand and use body language and have good eye contact.
It baffles me that in 3 hours of questioning they can just say that.
Surly they should know that after a lifetime of masking some people can do quite well at acting the correct way.
Does the way adults are assessed need to be look at to reflect years of masking.
