DSM-5 vs Unofficial Checklist for Autism in Females | Checking the Checklist

“The Samantha Craft Unofficial Checklist for Autism or Asperger’s in Females (I’ve seen this re-named a lot online!) or Autistic Checklist is one of the first checklists I reviewed with you on my channel. Something that has been of interest to me lately is how much these unofficial lists can hold up to the criteria recognized by diagnostic manuals. So, I thought it might be interesting to start here with this checklist and compare it to criteria in the DSM-5. If you all are interested, I may also compare it to the ICD-11.”
