AUTISM AMBASSADORS CORPS’ GOAL #7: Work with the medical/psychiatric communities to bring more uniformity in how the diagnoses autistics, especially when it come to diagnosing previously undiagnosed adults

I know autistics who have been diagnosed with more than a dozen different aliments.  Autism, something else with autistic features or just something else altogether.  Some have been diagnosed as autistic by one counselors only to have the next counselors say its something different.  There is just too much subjectivity to how autism is diagnosed and its causing a lot of frustration and confusion amongst us who identify as autistic, but may not have the official diagnosis.  If we do have the diagnosis, a change of counselors can change all of that.  This needs to stop!
