Level One ASD (High Functioning Autism) Test for Adults Who May Have Been Overlooked or Misdiagnosed

Were you always told you’re “sensitive,” “too intense,” or “just shy” as a child? You’ve spent years masking your struggles, adapting to social norms that never made sense and feeling out of step with others. Now, as an adult, you’re finally asking: Could it be autism?

These experiences often align with what is now classified as Level One Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)—a more accurate term than “high functioning autism,” which doesn’t respect the nuances of neurodivergence and the autism spectrum. At Adult Autism Specialist, Dr. Rebecca Martinez provides comprehensive autism tests for adults with low support needs who may have been misdiagnosed or missed entirely in their childhood.

The Difficulty With an Autism Diagnosis

For many adults, particularly those who were assigned female at birth or raised in environments with strict social expectations, signs of autism were misunderstood. You may have developed strong verbal skills and appeared outwardly successful, but internally struggled with challenges like:

• Sensory overload
• Emotional regulation
• Missed cues
• General social confusion

Additionally, what was once called “high-functioning autism” in women looked different from “high-functioning autism” in men, so that could also contribute to your experience. There is no way to accurately diagnose autism without a proper evaluation by a mental health professional, so you’ve been left with a glaring question mark… until now.
