Adult Autism - 50 not-so-obvious signs of autism in women and men There are some autistic signs that are not very obvious to both laypeople and many professionals, especially when it comes to autism in adults. So, today we are going to talk about 50 of these characteristics that, if added to the official criteria, can confirm the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Spectrum signs are not exclusive to neurodivergent people. In other words, if you are neurotypical, you may identify a little with this video too. PS: this list is not a diagnostic tool. In fact, this initiative aims to demystify autism and encourage the cultivation of your spectral identity! #adultautism #autisminwomen #mildautism ________________________ ????
