The funny thing about autism diagnosis criteria is always “before or after masking?”

This pic says “the evaluator assigns a score from 1 to 5 based on how often a person display a certain behavior”. I for example would be a 1 in a bunch of items, but only because I force myself to do what I wouldn’t usually do/don’t do what I would, otherwise I’d be a 5 xD

At least this one has “difficulty/preference for X” for most of it, which is probably determined by asking, not observation.
