Autism assessment in Sheffield — frequently asked questions
Is an autism test the same as an autism assessment?
No. A short online autism test or screener (such as the AQ-10) can suggest whether seeking an assessment is worthwhile, but it cannot diagnose anyone. Only a full diagnostic assessment with a qualified clinician — online or in person — can lead to a diagnosis, and that is what the providers on this page offer people in Sheffield. "ASD" (autism spectrum disorder) and the older term "Asperger's" both refer to what is now diagnosed simply as autism.
Why are so many women and girls diagnosed late?
Many autistic women and girls learn to mask or camouflage their differences — copying social scripts, rehearsing conversations, and holding difficulties in until they are alone. That can delay recognition for decades, and traits are sometimes attributed to anxiety or low mood instead. A clinician experienced in autism presentation in women and girls will ask about masking, exhaustion after social contact, and lifelong sensory differences.
