Autism Identification measures the extent to which an expression centers on autism-spectrum status, recognition, diagnosis, or autistic self-reference. It encompasses both formal diagnostic framing and informal identity-based language used to describe autistic traits, labels, or suspected autism.

Bands

Absent Autism Identification

Expressions activating this band contain unrelated administrative, disclosure, or situational content without a recognizable focus on autism-spectrum status, traits, or diagnosis.

Low Autism Identification

Expressions activating this band refer broadly to developmental, psychiatric, communication, or social difficulties that can overlap with autism-related concerns, but autism itself is not the central identifying frame.

Moderate Autism Identification

Expressions activating this band emphasize diagnosed or assessed neurodevelopmental and related conditions, including learning and attention differences, in a way that places autism within a broader diagnostic context.

High Autism Identification

Expressions activating this band explicitly foreground autism-spectrum labeling or autistic identity, often through direct mention of autism, autistic traits, or community-specific terms.

Intense Autism Identification

Expressions activating this band make autism the dominant subject through direct diagnostic reference, explicit autistic self-reference, or highly charged language about being on the spectrum or being suspected of it.
