Is there any online assessments questionaires to help diagnose a female adult for high functioning autism?
No - autism cannot be diagnosed using on-line quizzes. Autism is a neurological condition, in order to diagnose autism a person would have to go through intensive assessment with an autism expert or team of experts - during assessments other conditions such as social anxiety have to be ruled out, they interview both the individual and their family to identify any developmental issues and characteristics of autism. Assessment can take from one day up to several months. FYI - Terms such as "high functioning" are meaningless and considered offensive within the autism community, these terms only serve to undermine the importance of individuals who are more severely effected by autism and further myths about autism.

It would be completely impossible to determine the percentage of people with autism and spina bifida who are aborted, given as they are aborted! You cannot diagnose autism until a person is born, even then some people don't get a diagnosis until well into adulthood. The two conditions are also very different so it's unlikely anyone would record details on the two specifically anyway.
