Need ASD screening for vulnerable/ at risk girls (eg those exhibiting signs of anxiety, depression,

disordered eating, self harm). To do this we need 

• a valid instrument for screening ASD in females
• Identify gatekeepers (school counselors/psych, pediatricians, psych)
• Educate gatekeepers on ASD in females
• Provide gatekeepers with screener 

 Where to get funding? Autism research foundation? Spectrum women?
University programs researching ASD in females ?
