My Top 10 Female Autistic Traits | AUTISM IN GIRLS

I was recently diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at 24 years old. In this video, I talk about 10 autistic traits that affect me on a regular basis. I go over my sensory issues, including needing certain sheets to not eating certain foods. I also cover a TMI topic: gut issues! They're related to autism. Who knew?! I also talk about a very common autism trait: having a hard time with change.

Although these traits are very common in girls and women, boys and men can have them, too! Traits are not exclusive to one gender. Also, please remember that not everyone will have these traits. Every autistic person is different, just like every neurotypical person is! And just because you have some of these traits does not make you autistic, and just because you DON'T have some of these traits doesn't make you NOT autistic. Only a doctor can officially diagnosis.

Girls are so often misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed with autism until well into adulthood. Please help spread awareness to girls and women on the spectrum by sharing this video. My goal with this video is to help other people "figure themselves out," just like my adult autism diagnosis did. Getting young girls diagnosed could change their lives, and allow them to not deal with as many of the struggles I did growing up because I had no idea what was "wrong" with me.
