How does it explain why women struggle to get an accurate diagnosis?

Well, I think that, um, you know, I did a little, uh, linguistic experiment a couple of months ago, and I think that really illustrates things.

You know, the, um, the Millon, uh, Clinical Multi-axel, M- Multi-Axial Inven- Inventory, the MCMI-4, that's a personality assessment that is often used in psych evaluations from time to time.

I use it, um, when I'm looking for certain traits and patterns that I have recognized as, uh, quote, "autistic." The MCMI was not designed to look for autism, but I happened upon a client who shared with me an MCMI she had had done, and she gave me permission to de-identify it and analyze it.

And I looked at all of the language that was used in that report to describe her, and then I did a re-analysis of the report, articulating the concepts in a way that was more in line with an autistic presentation, and the results were extremely different.

So in her report, we would see words like morose, bizarreness, peculiar, idle, meaningless, sluggish.

It, it described the client's perceptions as erroneous, distorted, and compromised.

Can you tell me more about schema therapy? What is that?
