Hello Dr. Menon and thank you for doing this AMA. I am a woman in her 30s living in India and have been struggling with sensory difficulties from my earliest memories. The more I read about autism and masking in women the more I am convinced this diagnosis would apply to me. But i have not had any clarity from the many visits i paid to psychologists and counsellors here in India. My experience has been that my concerns tend to get dismissed. As a teen i was constantly told I'd grow out of it or to simply ignore it.
Would you be able to recommend any practitioners or institutions in India that might help me gain a better picture of my condition?
