Did you know that many people are diagnosed with autism in adulthood? While autism is often detected in childhood, many high-functioning autistic adults go undiagnosed for years. At Autizum, we aim to raise awareness about adult autism, its challenges, and available support systems.
Common Signs of Autism in Adults
- Social communication difficulties (struggles with small talk and understanding social cues)

- Rigid routines and intense focus on specific interests
- Difficulty understanding non-verbal language (facial expressions, body language)
