What Is Adult Autism?
Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition that encompasses a wide range of behaviors and challenges, including difficulties with social skills, repetitive actions, speech, and nonverbal communication. While autism is often diagnosed in childhood, typically after the age of 4, some adults with autism may not receive a diagnosis until later, even if their symptoms are more pronounced. Over recent years, there has been a growing awareness of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adults, leading to more diagnoses of adult autism. Adults with autism may adapt well in specific work environments but often struggle with forming close, personal relationships.
Some common traits of adults with autism include:
- Difficulty understanding the thoughts or emotions of others, leading to anxiety in social settings
- Struggling to make friends and preferring solitude
- Being highly sensitive to certain sounds or smells that others do not seem to mind
- A strong desire for consistency, with a tendency to focus intensely on particular interests
- Reacting with frustration or distress when there is a change in routines or expectations
