Autism traits in adults can look very different from those seen in children. Many adults learn to mask or adapt their behaviors to fit social expectations. Because of this, their autistic traits may stay hidden for years.

Understanding the most common symptoms in adulthood can help people recognize patterns that may have been present throughout their life.

In this episode you will learn:

• Nine common Asperger’s symptoms seen in adults
• Why many adults are diagnosed later in life
• How masking hides autistic traits in work and social life
• The connection between sensory sensitivity and daily stress
• How recognizing these patterns can support self understanding

This episode explores the adult autism experience and explains why so many people only begin to recognize these symptoms later in life.
