Was amused by this showing up fairly deep in the results on a search for "autism late assessment percent". Not sure what caused it, when I google "autism spectrum" the wikipedia result doesn't look like this.

Tangentially related - the search was because I'd seen someone claim that only 2% of people who go in for late assessment end up not being positively diagnosed, and was trying to find a source. Didn't find anything one way or another before being distracted by this (and by figuring out how to screenshot on my phone). So I welcome any citations people have relevant to my original search. Or just be amused by autistic google/wiki, that's fine too ๐Ÿ™‚
