Autism in Adults

Understand autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from an adult perspective. An estimated 85% of autistic adults remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, particularly those who learned to mask their traits. This category explores autism characteristics in adults, the late diagnosis experience, masking and camouflaging behaviors, sensory processing differences, social communication patterns, special interests, executive function challenges, and strategies for living authentically as an autistic adult. Content includes personal narratives, research updates, and practical resources for autistic individuals and their allies.
