I'm in my 40s and was formally diagnosed as having ASD last year. A few weeks ago, I was discussing this with some family members and trying to explain that ASD isn't just a straight line of "a little bit" to "very", and that everyone is different with their particular flavour of what they have going on, etc. I was utterly failing to communicate what I meant with my poor drawing skills, so I later put together my own autistic wheel tool to better explain to them.
Anyway, I showed it to some people, and they said they found it quite helpful, so I put it online at www.myautisticprofile.com for anyone to use freely.
This is not commercial. It's not a test or a diagnostic tool. It does not store or collect anyone's information. It's simply a tool for people to be able to describe their personal "spikey autistic profile" and communicate it to others, or simply to visualise this information for their own personal edification.
I tried my best to write a sensible set of categories and descriptions, but they are customisable if you want to tweak them just for yourself.
I would love to hear your feedback on my tool. Would you find this helpful in any way? Are there any improvements I should make to it? Is there anything which is "bad" about it that I should fix?
Don't forget to love each other. <3
