Ratto et al. (2023)

This article highlights limitations in current autism identification tools, particularly their lack of sensitivity and specificity for older, highly verbal, or non-cisgender male individuals. In response, the authors developed the Self Assessment of Autistic Traits (SAAT), a self-report tool co-created with Autistic researchers and individuals to better reflect lived Autistic experiences. The SAAT aims to improve accessibility, inclusivity, and clinical understanding of autism in people over 16. The long-term goal of the measure is to advance the understanding of inner Autistic life and experiences and enhancing the clinical ways of assessing Autism.
