There is a lot of talk about autism in girls and what are the main signs of autism in women. I am outlining the main characteristics of autism in females

This covers all traits of autism in women and girls and helps you understand what does autism in women look like

I cover high masking in autistic females and female autism masking in general.

Many autistic women are not even diagnosed properly due to asd in females being less commonly diagnosed.

People like my friend mom on the spectrum show how adhd in women and asd in women can be understood and seen in a more understanding way.

It is true that many girls with autism and women with autism are either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. This is a huge issue for autism girls.

It is important to note that it's not just an aversion to eye contact, but also an issue of "I don't know how much eye contact is the 'correct' amount" so autistic women, who are under a ton of pressure to mask their autism without even knowing they're autistic, will learn to "make eye contact" despite the discomfort, but may have no idea how much is the correct amount and may actually stare directly into someone's eyes for "too long," making allistic people feel uncomfortable anyway.

What's weird is that between autism, adhd, and complex trauma, I pretty much don't know how to unmask or relax. It's really stressful and exhausting.

People thought I was crazy that I can hear the lights humming and flickering. The texture thing is so prevalent.

Every time I hear someone say "autistic," I hear "artistic." Don't know why I felt the need to share, but it makes me happy.

If we have to pay for rent ,food ,car, we need to work.
Masking helps sometimes to keep employment.
How else can one survive 😮

I suspect one of the reasons less females diagnosed with ASD is that girls traits don’t cause as many issues in class for teachers.

@J.Soffer 2 years ago

I know a girl who went to see about a diagnosis but the doctor dismissed her concerns because she was supposedly making good eye contact. What the doctor didn't understand is she was forcing herself to make eye contact for the sake of "normalcy".

I always thought everybody heard those long lights buzzing and flickering!!??

@Bellenickna 2 years ago

Retired nurse here. This is the same across all healthcare sectors with women. It’s only because of women becoming doctors that this has changed. They used to lock us up for “hysteria” which was period related. These are the types of things that the women’s movement was about, equality.❤

‘You go but everything inside you is dying’ 😂 perfect description 👌🏻

Wait .. the light flickering is not a thing everybody sees????? 🤨

Another problem in the past, in misdiagnosing women, at least in the U.S., is what i call the 2 minute psych eval where the psych pops her head in the door for 2 minutes and looks you up and down head to foot and pronounces you have anxiety or OCD and takes no childhood history, uses no ASD diagnostic instruments, and the only thing that natters to the psych is clocking as many 2 minute evals as possible in one day, every day to afford her mega mansion. This is a real problem.

I literally just burst into tears when I heard you talking about masking. When I come home at the end of the day, I have just enough energy to feed my cats, and then I have to go decompress, alone, laying down, sometimes crying, before going to grab dinner for myself. I don't tip toe walk, I don't talk monotone, I'm slightly obsessed with crochet and knitting, but making eye contact has always been hard for me, and I hear humming everywhere,
I just thought I was an introvert that preferred animals and nature to people, and noise.
Hmmmm.

I have a child on the spectrum and now believe I should be on it also. I’m a 45 yr old woman and can complete relate to my son in almost every way.

@barbyoungberg 2 years ago

This female AuDHDer does not like true crime drama because it's too intense! Give me fantasy - witches, mermaids or anything mythical.

@patmanchester8045 2 years ago

Masking is something I have expelled at. My parents had a small retail shop. When I had to start waiting on people at age 12, I nearly died every time. My mom explained it was just acting and that I was to make "meaningful transient relationships" to make people want to buy more and return. I worked in retail off and on over my lifetime ( I am in my 70's) and have always been tops in sales.but eventually, it would fall apart and I needed to hide out for a time. Hours to days. I am perceived as a very outgoing person but really I am not but know how to act that way.

I'm 35f. I've struggled my whole life with anxiety/depression/ocd/ptsd/bpd/adhd. Doctors never bothered looking beyond depression when I was first diagnosed. THANK YOU ♡ I hit myself in the head when I can't handle things any more. I really thought I was just fucked on the head. This is such a relief. I've hated myself my whole life and struggled terribly. Thank you for describing this ❤ I'm so glad this video was suggested.

I was diagnosed at 50. I can look people in the eye. Don't have a monotone voice. Love true crime dominates my podcast. Masking is exhausting. I have learnt to let meltdowns happen. Music calms me down. Really loud music causes me to curl up and cover me ears. I don’t tiptoe walk.
