Undiagnosed for Years? Why Autism Looks Different in Women


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about why so many women go undiagnosed for years and why autism looks different in women. Many autistic women grow up knowing they feel different but never getting clear answers.

We explain how autism in women is often hidden behind masking. Many women learn to copy social behavior, stay quiet, and push through discomfort. On the outside they look fine. On the inside they feel exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed.

You will learn why autism traits in women do not always match the stereotypes. This includes strong people pleasing, high empathy, internal shutdowns, sensory overload, and burnout that gets labeled as stress or anxiety instead of autism.

We also cover why late diagnosis is so common for autistic women. Many are misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or personality disorders before autism is even considered. This delay can damage self trust and mental health.

This episode is for women questioning if they might be autistic, late diagnosed adults, and anyone wanting a clearer understanding of female autism. You are not imagining it. Your experience is real.

Key topics include autism in women, undiagnosed autism, female autism traits, masking, late diagnosis, autistic burnout, and self understanding.
