How do autism behaviors present in adults?

In adults, autism may present as difficulties with socialising, intense focus on specific interests, a preference for routine, or heightened sensitivity to sensory input. Many adults mask or hide their differences to fit in, which can lead to exhaustion or anxiety. Some may struggle with workplace interactions, relationship dynamics, or changes in routine. Others may thrive in structured roles that align with their strengths. Diagnosis in adulthood can lead to better understanding, validation, and access to support.
