Is it autism or is it quirky? My meal deal formula will make it easy for you to know the difference. There are three essential elements that define autism that are outlined in the diagnosis guide book called the DSM 5 TR. Without all three elements it's not a meal deal! Without all 3 elements it's not autism.


For a meal deal you need 3 elements:

  1. The burger

  2. The chips or fries

  3. The drink


For a diagnosis of autism you need 3 elements:

  1. Communication differences

  2. Social differences

  3. Repetitive behaviours

Often there's a side of sensory sensitivities.


Without all three elements it's not autism. It might be quirky? Ofcourse there's more to explore in an assessment and we would do that in depth and detail. But for a simple guide to try to figure your options out, this is a simple and straightforward start.
