What Are the Signs of Autism in Adults?
“If you know one autistic person, you know one autistic person,” says Stephen Shore, Ed.D., president emeritus of the Asperger’s Association of New England, and advisory board member of the Autism Society.
Signs of autism present themselves in each person in a different way. In many cases, a person does not recognize these signs as autism until adulthood.By clinical definition, autism is a lifelong neurological disorder.
Chances are, adults who are newly diagnosed had mild or subtle symptoms throughout their lives that have now begun to affect them.
Despite the worry that a diagnosis later in life can bring, know that there are many professionals and individualized services available to help you reach your goals.Difficulty understanding the “non-written” rules of language, resistance to change, and reluctance to engage socially are signs of autism spectrum disorder.
