When Jackie Schuld’s therapist suggested she might be autistic, she scoffed. She knew there was no way she could be autistic. She was in her mid-30s and ran her own therapy private practice. Everything she learned about autism in her Master’s program in mental health counseling didn’t apply to her. She could make excellent eye contact. She could engage in deep conversations. She could attend social gatherings. She could make it through abrupt changes and remain flexible.

Mental characteristicsEmotional characteristicsSensory system characteristicsBody characteristicsPassions (special interests)SocializingAlthough she couldn’t see herself as autistic before, Jackie now knows without a doubt that she is autistic.
