After ten years in the autism-world, i've seen probably more causes for nondiagnosis across the spectrum of autism.
Sometimes it is due to age, severity of symptom as well as the doctor you see. The average doctor (whether pediatrician, psychologist or neurologist) is not trained to evaluate or diagnose autism.
So,people with autism should learn more by themselves,like me. : )

I agree completely - so many
I agree completely - so many have no idea what they're doing when it comes to autism. It is so important to get the right doctor when it comes to assessing autism. I talk about this a bit on my blog http://www.managingautism.com with some ideas and tips to remember when choosing a doctor. And of course, we should all learn more ourselves so that we can deal with medical professionals on more of a level playing field.
