What is Autism in adults - 3 Common Sign (You NEED To Know)

What does autism in adults look like? Here are 3 common autism signs in adults you need to be aware of.

Autism is a spectrum and there for presents itself in a variant of ways within a vast verity of people.

Autism has different levels of support needs, as some people may need more support than others etc.

For the sake of typical autistic behaviour I have outlined 3 of the most common sings that you probably wouldn’t think are autism traits in adults.

1.Socially Awkward
Issues with social boundaries and social situations, for example not knowing when it is their turn to talk or what is appropriate to say.

2.Difficulty Communicating
Communication is typically at the heart of an autism spectrum disorder and this causes lots of autistic people to have difficulties in communicating their needs and emotions to other people.

3.Quirky Behaviour
Autistc people love routines and repetitive Behaviour, this may include but not limited to: following the same route on a walk, eating the same food every day, sitting in the same spot every day.

Not knowing when to talk, worse when there is more people. Want to say something, not sure when to say it, then before I know it the conversation has moved onto something else.

The listening to music, stopping and then rewinding to hear the same part is something I do all the time, when I hear a part of a song that I love, the constant stopping and rewinding to hear it again I could literally spend hours doing it.
Glad to know it's a trait that other people do it as well!

My job is great because I'm left alone to do it, I can manage a 5 hour shift, and I've learnt to deal with customers in a light way with routine phrases. I remember where nearly everything is in the store so I can easily help people and get on with my job quietly, leaving me to my own thoughts and interests. 😊

Recently diagnosed at age 54. I cried when I found out that I'm not just weird

[gersongomez]

I follow the same routine everyday in the morning my job is the same thing every day no surprises so I'm comfortable I avoid crowds I'll go to supermarket early in the morning or late at night to avoid people I park far away always aware of my surroundings have two friends including my dog it's hard to show emotions I like to be alone 😔

[lordwarryl]

I am so thankful of crossing with your channel, been struggling for 30+ years and now at the moment in my life that my failures are piling up together with disappointing my family and peers, i feel relieved that i can make things better for me and for everyone. I just hope its not too late.. still, thank you

I like how when you could be explaining behaviors with words, you usually use clips of yourself acting it out. It could be for saving time, but it's also just really good visual storytelling. Some of the best I see on YouTube.

[TheKjoy]

I have found that I really enjoy making things out of paracord. Making bracelets, key fobs, a walking stick hand wrap, and such is soothing because the pattern of knots or weaves is repetitive and I like the feel of paracord. Some of my favorite fidgets are things made out of paracord.

[matcha]

3:40 also, a positive to the quirky behavior is that I read a lot of us have really unique styles (like cartoon characters in my mind) which is really cool:) I like to use fashion accessories that are also good stims for example I have Pearl dangle earrings i wear 27/7 that I can feel the gentle weight and movement of whenever I’m doing things+ I spin them whenever I get bored or people are saying things I don’t like (it’s a way to bite my tongue) I feel like our quirkiness results in us not being technically “fashionable” every year but having a very distinctive style that feels like our own brand like a cartoon/comic/anime character which gives me so much dopamine

[zadekeys]

Glad i watched this!!! Since i was a child I was diagnosed w/a.d.d and other learning difficulties. As an adult im not fussy wirh food and find great comfort in habing a meal schedule / meal prep program of sorts. I have no issue having rhe same breakfast 4-7 days in a row, it makes things easier for me. Never knew that it was a sign of possible autism. The more i learn about autism, the more I think i may be affected by it and undiagnosed.

[marklarsen]

This explains why the counselors I've talked to have been so confused by me. I'm high functioning and express myself well but that was a learned skill. I don't do the people thing often due to past trauma, and I have to speak carefully to stay on topic. I am also prone to going off and controlling that is a difficult learned skill. I have not considered autism to be the cause till lately. Maybe I'm not just crazy!

[PsychicPhoenixAngel]

True. And someone like me or you who seems /or are high functioning even at least sometimes or more. Many might for example have a prejudice saying u can't possibly have aidtsm cause you're seeming to talk just fine and communicate just fine on YouTube but they don't see what's happening inside the mind, how much a struggle or especially HAVING ADHD too!! Double whammy for neurodivergence, I have ADHD, autism, C-PTSD, anxiety and depression for mental health diagnosis, a whole lot of sensory issues oh my friend, don't forget last but not least, toss in the fact I'm an empath and medium and clairvoyant, so I often feel like I'm on a rollercoaster of cookoo is sensory sensitivities. Thanks for the video. It made me want to make a video about autism. Also many outsiders not knowing about autism or what it is or especially I they can't differentiate or if don't know the difference between things like bipolar, borderline personality, and other, whose traits have some overlapping/similarities and so many unfortunately who struggle with these types of mental health get misdiagnosed with the wrong thing. I was misdiagnosed as borderline a long time ago and was put on medication that more than once I could have died from ideation or suicide attempts. They had me taking lithium and tried me on a bunch of other stuff. Lithium is supposed to be for things like schizophrenia to my knowledge. If you're reading this and think that after the video you might have autism instead of sleeping else you were diag with, definitely don't fear getting more professional opinions of assessments or testing.

I've just gotten my diagnose, a week ago, at the age of 35.
Though I can tell I show some traits - now that I delved into this topic - I still have doubts, because I keep seeing others stories, examples, how stronger traits they have. But I also don't know if I just somewhat learned to live with it throughout the years, when I knew nothing about autism.

The first two of these signs are very likely present, I've struggled in many many social interactions in my life, and inside I felt rather awkward most of the times.

[TheValkyriekat]

My psychiatist and case manager/social worker say I'm untreated ADHD, ASD and Schizoaffective, and that makes so much sense that I couldn't see before because I didn't even know how different I am despite feeling it. The missing component is that i don't have meltdowns. I just go rigid (more than usual.) I do dress and act and eat pretty much the same every day. I do stim. I don't get robotic but analyze the crap out of Star Wars. Obsessively. But now my case manager is moving on and i am stuck. From Westy Coasty Canada.

[Torby]

I like a little variation. A school field trip was a welcome bread in the everyday. But I do eat pretty much the same thing every day.

[ceciliasoderman]

Talking about emotions. My son (45 with ADHD and aspergers) has finally explained to me why he hates folding laundry. Fabric is to unpredictable. If you fold a piece of paper you know that it will behave a certain way and do what you want it to do. That is not the case with fabric. I have helped him do his laundry for ever and now I understand why the washing and drying is no problem but the folding and putting away is!

[kaiwandres]

Thank you Dan! your videos have helped me to understand myself better and my partner, I have only worked out recently at AGE 63 why I always felt different and also why my partner who is on the spectrum as well is different to your neurotipycal person .Thanks again keep up the good works 🙏

[leosthrivwithautism]

Very well explained! And relatable too. I experience a lot of this myself. And it gets to the point people call me anti social because I run away from social settings. My communication just confuses people when I talk. This is really informative! Very good video indeed!

[lukeshirley]

It these couple of things that just lost me my job the other week to which I’m trying to argue with the employment authorities that these social problems actually exist. I might have to share this video with them. Thanks🍻

[adamkownacki]

That bit with listening to a short piece of music over and over resonated so much with me. I have been doing that for ages xD
