Aspergers and Autism Podcast [The Aspie World] Unexpected Signs Of Autism In Women
Autism in women often looks very different than it does in men — which is why so many autistic women go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. In this episode of The Aspie World Podcast, I reveal some of the unexpected signs of autism in women that most people (and even professionals) completely miss.
From masking and people-pleasing to unique sensory triggers and burnout cycles, we’ll break down the subtle ways autism can show up in women — so you can finally get the clarity and validation you deserve.
