What are the overlooked signs of autism that might lead to autistic people being undiagnosed? Is this why so many autistics (like myself) get diagnosed late in life? In this video, I dive into easy-to-overlook signs of autism from the unique perspective of an autistic adult with ADHD who also happens to be an educator. From social challenges (but not necessarily being “awkward”) to extreme exhaustion and the need for alone time, I’ll discuss things that I’ve learned and adjustments I’ve made since my autism diagnosis in the hopes that it might be able to spark ideas for others on what could improve their personal or work life after learning they are autistic. Even without a diagnosis, this can help you better understand the inner workings of autism.
