Have you ever felt different from others but couldn’t explain why? Studies show that up to 60% of people on the autism spectrum are undiagnosed, often leaving them without the understanding or support they need. This video explores five common signs of undiagnosed autism in adults, based on scientific research and personal experiences, to help shed light on this often-overlooked topic.

*What You’ll Learn in This Video:*
1️⃣ Feeling different or like the “odd one out” your whole life
2️⃣ Relating deeply to autistic people’s stories and struggles
3️⃣ Connecting with fictional characters who exhibit autistic traits
4️⃣ “Masking” or pretending to fit societal norms, often at great personal cost
5️⃣ Compulsively researching autism and seeing yourself in the findings

These signs can serve as a guide if you’re questioning whether you or someone you love might be autistic. Understanding autism is a step toward self-acceptance and finding the support you need.
