An autism diagnosis can still be difficult to obtain despite the studies that have helped people better understand autism.

How is autism diagnosed? Usually an autism diagnosis is made when a person shows signs of 6 or more of 12 specific symptoms characteristic of the disorder.
The 12 main symptoms are focused in three primary areas.
There should be at least 2 symptoms present from social interaction, and at least one symptom from both behavior and communication for an autism diagnosis to be made. You should never seek an autism diagnosis if you have no idea what the condition is all about. For more information, please visit:
