No one has 'recovered' from Autism because Autism isn't something that happens to someone or something that can be recovered from. Autism is a neurological difference, you can no more recover from being Autistic than you can recover from being an African-American.

How can people get autism by watching too much TV?

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.

A person does not 'develop' autism - a person is born autistic.
