Although autism spectrum disorder is associated with a disorder that is diagnosed in childhood, many people only learn about their neuroatypicality in adulthood. Diagnosing adults is not an easy task. Adults with autism spectrum disorder often develop the ability to mask all symptoms. How does autism spectrum disorder manifest in adults? How does the diagnosis process work? Are there differences between the autism spectrum in women and men? How can we support the development and functioning of adults with autism spectrum disorder? These and many other questions will be answered by Magdalena Flaga-Łuczkiewicz, MD, head of the Mental Health Clinic for Doctors and Medical Students at the Dialog Therapy Center, psychiatry specialist, psychotherapist, advocate for combating stigma in psychiatry.
