This is autism in adults in a way you have not seen before.
Autism spectrum disorder does not stop as you get older into adulthood become fully grown adults.
In fact as you get older Autism gets actually more difficult and harder for people living independently without support or help.
It isn’t always easy to spot Autism in adults, this is why I decided to create a list of five things that you probably wouldn’t really associate with autism that you can notice in people to see if they’re on the autism spectrum.
Using this knowledge you can then go forward to help and support those people if they are presenting these specific characteristics of autism.
1 Lack Of Social Interaction
An adult who is on the autism spectrum may not have the best social skills and when it comes to talking on the water cooler or any other social gathering they may not be able to interact as a typical person would. Not knowing the right things to say and having a lack of social conversation filter.
2 Reclusive
Autistic person who is an adult may be reclusive and hold themselves back from joining social gatherings social events going to friends houses or work parties because these things are uncomfortable for them so you will not likely see them attending these things.
3 Obsessive Intense Interest
People who are on the autism spectrum will usually have an interest that is honest excessive. But in adults this will become quite intense it could be gaming reading books or researching certain information about a certain topic.
4 Strict Clock Work Routine
Autistic adults will always follow a very strict routine that they do like clockwork every day the same thing probably eating the same food doing the same tasks every day has a sense of normality and you could run this via your own watch.
5 Intense Emotions
People who are autistic in adult hood are more likely to not be able to control any part of their emotions and therefore will show high degrees of intense emotions like extreme ups and extreme downs and have a lack of communicating their emotions and feelings to someone.

The other day, someone at work laughed at a joke I’d heard three days earlier. I only just “got it,” and I couldn’t stop laughing—long after everyone else had moved on. That’s just one weird window into my life with Asperger’s as an adult. Most conversations about autism stop at childhood, but adulthood with Asperger’s? It’s a whole different ballgame—and a surprisingly underexplored one. Time to lift the curtain and get a little personal. Let’s talk about what it’s really like, quirks and all. 1. Emotions: Always Late to the Party Ever had that feeling when your emotions don't show up until everyone else has gone home? That's my daily reality. As someone with what was once called Asperger's syndrome (officially removed from the DSM in 2013), I experience emotions on a bizarre time-delay. It's like my feelings are stuck in traffic while everyone else'...
As someone who has navigated the autism spectrum personally, it's both heartbreaking and enlightening to see how many women and girls are overlooked in discussions about autism. Growing up, I often felt like a fish out of water, desperately trying to blend in, to the point that it would cause emotional eruptions later. Today, I want to share some hidden aspects of autism in females that deserve recognition. 1. The Art of Masking What is Masking? Masking is a coping mechanism often employed by autistic females. It involves concealing their true feelings and behaviors to fit into societal expectations. Why do they feel the need to do this? Mostly, it stems from a desire for acceptance.

Understanding Stimming
Stimming, short for self-stimulatory behavior, is a repetitive behavior that many autistic individuals engage in. This could be rocking back and forth, humming a tune, flicking fingers, or other repetitive movements. These behaviors help autistic individuals regulate their sensory input and manage their emotions. Stimming is often a comforting and self-soothing mechanism.
The Role of White Noise
Now, let's talk about white noise. You know that fuzzy sound your TV ...
