I would really love to get properly assessed but I live in the UK and the public option is pretty terrible (but hey it could be worse, I could also be trans! 😭).
I think you’re right though, the surveys are supposed to be a starting place for clinical assessment, rather than the ‘test’ that determines your diagnoses. On their own you can only say stuff like “75% of diagnosed autistic people score in this range”. You can’t say “you scored this therefore you are autistic”. I find the tests helpful, but I recognise their limits in the absence of a full assessment.
