Can autism get worse with age?
Autism itself doesn’t get worse with age, but challenges can change as life circumstances and expectations evolve. For example, increased social pressure at school or work may highlight certain difficulties that weren’t noticeable in early childhood. Without support, anxiety or frustration can increase over time. On the other hand, with therapy and a strong support system, many individuals grow in confidence, independence, and emotional regulation as they age.
