One article that really impressed me in that catalogue was this one:
My Diagnostic Criteria for 299.00 Autism Spectrum Disorder – CDC Style

The writer achieved something really distinctive in translating the diagnostic criteria into meaningful descriptions in everyday life, drawn from her experience and retrospective gaze at her struggles at various stages of her life.
This really interested and impressed me, because few articles achieve this blend of the diagnostic criteria and the experiences that the criteria alone can't reveal. Anyway, it really spoke to me. I hope it will speak to others!
