Late Diagnosis in Adults Across the Spectrum

Oct 31

Wendela Marsh and US Autism Association President, Marlo Payne Thurman share their wealth of expertise on the topic of diagnosing adults with autism spectrum disorders. Using a combination of skilled clinical judgement, along with useful, standardized assessment tools that align with DSM-5 TR Diagnostic Criteria, this session provides diagnosing clinicians and adult individuals exploring possible diagnosis with both the formal diagnostic criteria and the less formal characteristics that tend to "pop out" when diagnosis is less clear. This session guides those wanting to learn more about autism diagnoses from two of the experts who have made diagnosing autism their lifelong specialty.
