When should you be tested for autism?
Many people consider seeking an autism diagnosis if they experience repeated challenges in social situations, have difficulty understanding other people's feelings or intentions, or feel that they constantly have to compensate in order to "fit in." Other typical signs may include a strong need for structure and predictability in everyday life, heightened sensitivity to light, sound, or touch, as well as challenges communicating one's own feelings or understanding social rules.
Autism is often seen in varying degrees of severity and forms, which is why it is referred to as autism spectrum disorders. Some people have noticeable symptoms from childhood, while others only discover as adults that their challenges can be explained by an autism diagnosis – this is called late diagnosis.
