In this video, I break down 10 autism traits and autistic behaviours that can look unusual from the outside, but make complete sense when you understand what autism actually feels like.

As an autistic adult, I have experienced many of these myself. Things like replaying conversations for hours, feeling exhausted after a short chat, becoming overwhelmed by background noise, or struggling to begin a simple task can be part of everyday autistic life.

You may relate to some of these autism spectrum traits:

00:00 10 Signs You May Be Autistic
00:49 Why Autistic People Rehearse Conversations
02:09 Autism Social Exhaustion and Sensory Overload
04:56 Executive Dysfunction in Autism, Task Paralysis and Overstimulation
07:34 Autism and ADHD Symptoms Adults Often Miss

10:53 Autistic Masking, Burnout, and Sensory Sensitivity

This video covers autistic masking, sensory overload, executive dysfunction, social exhaustion, delayed body signals, autism burnout, and the hidden mental load autistic people often carry.

You may have spent years assuming everybody experienced noise, change, conversations, and daily tasks with the same intensity that you do. Many autistic adults only realise later that their experience is different.

That does not mean you are broken. It means your brain processes the world differently.

Which one do you relate to the most?

Whatever strikes my interest gets researched to the point where I'm employable in the field

Conversation preparation is the most annoying thing, because the actual conversation never pans out like it has been rehearsed. It's impossible not to do it, but it's also always a waste of effort.

Checks out. And if I have a task at 6pm, I can‘t do something else before. My head is blocked by this task.

Unexpected confrontations, like being yelled at by a bus driver, stay with me and gets replayed for days and days.. and weeks later i still get the occasional flashback and rumination time

@kateS72 3 months ago (edited)

Being interrupted when on a task is highly disturbing, and background noise is troublesome unless it is the noise I chose. 100% the way to fill silence!!

My old ”friends” didnt believe i was autistic but still complained that i behaved different from them.. you just cant win

@trenth6594 3 months ago (edited)

When people say they are “bored” has always confused me. Do other people with autism also have the curiosity of how could anybody be bored? My mind always seems to be going. It might not be going in the right direction, but it keeps going. Lol.

I have autisme, i can live in a mess of an apartment for days if not few weeks at a time with minimal cleaning and upkeep done when i know i only have myself to look at it.
But the second i make plans someone is coming over, i have so much motivation and energy that my place get completely cleaned in 2-3 hours.
But also a certain amount of stress also accumulatr, because omg, they better not see how i actually live to judge me.
And if my parent drop by unanounced. I feel like i want to cry because i havent had time to make my place presentable.

Spent 65 years like this, can't even mention it to anyone.
So exhausted. I just want peace now.

1-Conversation preparation /replay loop
2-Crash after socializing
3-Background noise overload
4-Silent overstimulation and rumination
5- inertia
6-Transition time log (needing time to switch between tasks)
7-Delayed body alerts (needing alarms to remember to eat/drink/etc)
8-Task pressure
9-Intensity assumption (assuming others experience sensations as we do)
10-Masking hangover/explosion

I had to unplug the fridge, and the silence was awesome. I didnt realize how the low hum was irritating until it stopped.

One thing I have noticed about having autism for me, is how we are so tuned in to our environment.

@davidrupe7942 2 months ago

I feel called out. Sometimes I don't eat until around 2-4 pm and I still can't get caught-up on the daily chores. Those things shouldn't be the most time consuming, but they seem to take all day long. I have other health issues like, RRMS for example. I am undiagnosed, but after watching and listening to so many late diagnosed autistic people, I would have to say that I feel like I'm a level 1 autistic. Rehearsing, replaying, recapitulating never ends. I will like re-read this comment again and again to screen for errors, because I still can't figure out how to talk to someone

@tiberius5245 3 months ago

Does anyone else get nervous and irrated when eating at work and people approach them and start talking to them. I just want to eat in peace and unwind.

I find I get snappy and usually say "BREAK TIME"

I don't have ADHD, but I am on the spectrum for Autism. I used to work in the kitchen at a major corporation. The only way I could get things done was to prioritize the task and complete one task at a time. Sometimes the sous chef wanted me to drop what I was doing and work on something else. Extremely difficult.

@SueW-d8b 2 months ago

in the 1950's they schools just called us bad, lazy, stupid... no matter how smart we were. I was ADHD and now I realize I am undiagnosed High functioning autism as an elderly person. It was hard... it still is hard.

@willieweeseArt 2 months ago

I deal with rumination of thought as well, where I have to focus on something or else my intrusive thoughts will make me depressed.

Wow. Sounds can send me over the edge. I am 59 and people find it hard to believe how I hear things, they cannot. Some sounds can trigger a migraine or make me sick. There is a movie on Netflix that I could not finish. "The Silence" with Stanley Tucci is the film. Watched with my wife and daughter and I had to turn off. There is a frequency that was making me sick to my stomach and was causing pain. Neither of them could hear it. Computer coil whine, OMG!!
