Product Description:

This study evaluated two brief screening measures for adult autism designed to be sensitive to diverse gendered presentations. Traditional screeners can miss individuals who use masking, compensation, or assimilation strategies to navigate social challenges. The tools demonstrated acceptable model fit, strong validity, and clear cutoff scores. These brief instruments offer practical value for clinical screening, ensuring more equitable identification of autistic adults across genders.
