Wow this is the most validating email I've ever received!

Hi Alice,

I'm a non-Autistic ADHDer with an Autistic family. I'm also a neuropsychologist who spends most of my time teaching other healthcare professionals how to recognize the less obvious presentations of autism. I've written two books on this topic and do a lot of talks and podcasts. Somehow I came across your research on self-identification and I'm really impressed. I just wanted to reach out to tell you that. You have done a remarkable job with a complicated topic!

Warm regards,

    Is autism self-diagnosis valid? Yep. 💜

    Hey all, after reading dozens of research papers, and meta-analyses, and living through it, I made a thing!

    I'd love it if you'd check it out! 🥰

    Update: I've added a lot of new stuff to the project.

    Someone organize gathering a committee to make questions.
    Someone organize the question drive.
    I'll do the analysis, and find a PHD to work with to write the paper.

    (BTW, I bet we could also ask ADHD questions, and find differential validity).

    Are there any survey software systems that are trustworthy and free/affordable?
