Everything you need to know about autism in adults

Read about Kimberly Drake's perspective

Autism in adults may present with different symptoms than in children. Many adults learn to live with the symptoms, and this can make diagnosis difficult.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most commonTrusted Source

 neurodevelopmental disorders. In most cases, autistic people receive a diagnosis in childhood, usually after the age of 4 years. However, some autistic adults are not diagnosed in childhood, even if their symptoms are more severe.Common signs and symptoms of ASD in adults can includeTrusted Source:

  • difficulty making conversation
  • difficulty making or maintaining close friendships
  • discomfort during eye contact
  • challenges with regulating emotions
  • extreme interest in one particular topic
  • frequent monologues on the same subject or subjects
  • hypersensitivity to sounds or smells that do not seem to bother others
  • involuntary noises, such as repetitive throat clearing
  • difficulty understanding sarcasm or idioms
  • lack of inflection when speaking
  • limited interest in only a few activities
  • preference for solitary activities
  • problems reading the emotions of others
  • trouble understanding facial expressions and body language
  • reliance on daily routines and difficulty dealing with change
  • repetitive behaviors
  • social anxiety
  • superiorTrusted Source abilities in a particular field, such asTrusted Source mathematics or other disciplines
  • the need to arrange items in a specific order

Autistic people will not usually have all the above signs and symptoms, and they may experience others that are not on the list.

What to know about borderline autism in adults

Borderline autism is not a diagnosis — it is an informal term some people may use to describe mild symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Social communication difficulties and repetitive behaviors characterize ASD. While these difficulties may significantly impact some people and require substantial support, others may need little assistance and lead relatively “typical” lives.

How Your Invisible Exposome Cloud Could Be Messing With Your Health

By
Further research into this topic lead me to the CDC's website and here is the introductory information about what Exposome is: "What is the exposome? Success in mapping the human genome has fostered the complementary concept of the “exposome”. The exposome can be defined as the measure of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual’s exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources. Understanding how exposures from our environment, diet, lifestyle, etc. interact with our own unique characteristics such as genetics, physiology, and epigenetics impact our health is how the exposome will be articulated.
