Hey! So recently, the Autism CARES bill was signed into law by the president. A lot of people were happy to hear about it, but many were also skeptical due to Autism Speaks being so involved in promoting it. So, I decided to look into the changes noted to see if this bill is actually good for autistic individuals or is something bad disguised as a positive thing for those on the spectrum.

Planning is often considered a higher-order executive function because of how many of the other executive functions are required for it to go well. Learn more about the executive function of planning in this video.

![Aspergers/Autism Checklist | Going Over the Tania Marshall Screener for Aspien Women
Bear in mind that this is based off of Tania Marshalls observations in an attempt at building a female profile of Asperger Syndrome. However, please remember that it doesnt necessarily mean that only females will have these features, etc. Its 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.
(Aspergers Syndrome is now considered to be part of the Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis in the DSM-5)
