Bear in mind that this is based off of Tania Marshall's observations in an attempt at building a female profile of Asperger Syndrome. However, please remember that it doesn't necessarily mean that only females will have these features, etc. It's something interesting to look at, but it is an anecdotal screener, not a diagnostic tool.
In this video, I go over the TM Checklist and add my own commentary and perspective on many parts of the list, sharing if I relate and how so to give better information for how this might look for autistic people.
NOTE: There is a portion in the screener that mentions Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria and suggests that *some* autistic people may be searching for identity and find it in certain groups/categories. This is a controversial view and from my understanding many disagree with.
(Asperger's Syndrome is now considered to be part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis in the DSM-5)
