Quantifying compensatory strategies in adults with and without diagnosed autism

ConclusionsTogether, our findings suggest that many intellectually able adults, with and without a clinical diagnosis of autism, report using compensatory strategies to modify their social behaviour. We discuss the clinical utility of measuring self-reported compensation (e.g.,  using our checklist), with important implications for the accurate diagnosis and management of autism and related conditions.
