Autism in Adults

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects communication, social interaction, and behaviour. While often associated with childhood, autism is a lifelong condition that can significantly impact adults. Many adults with autism remain undiagnosed, particularly women, due to factors like masking (camouflaging autistic traits) and gender biases in diagnostic criteria.
