10 More Female Autistic Traits | AUTISM IN GIRLS

Video Description

I'm Olivia Hops and welcome to my channel! Today’s video is about another 10 Female Autistic Traits that affect me on a regular basis! In this video, I talk about 10 more autistic traits that affect me on a regular basis. I go over needing a routine, my bad habit of burning bridges, masking, and special interests. Many times when boys and girls have similar autistic traits, males get diagnosed, but females often do not. Females tend to get diagnosed only when their autistic traits are significantly and visibly debilitating. Clinicians are missing many girls who are on the less disabling end of the autism spectrum because we are often so good at hiding our autistic traits. Although these traits are very common in girls and women, boys and men can have them, too! Traits are not exclusive to one gender. Also, please remember that not everyone will have these traits. Every autistic person is different, just like every neurotypical person is! And just because you have some of these traits does not make you autistic, and just because you DON'T have some of these traits doesn't make you NOT autistic. Only a doctor can officially diagnosis. Girls are so often misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed with autism until well into adulthood. Please help spread awareness to girls and women on the spectrum by sharing this video. My goal with this video is to help other people "figure themselves out," just like my adult autism diagnosis did for me. Getting young girls diagnosed could change their lives and allow them to not deal with as many of the struggles I did growing up because I had no idea what was "wrong" with me. 10 More Female Autistic Traits: • Masking • Burnout • Bridge Burning • Few Friends/Prefer Males/Prefer Adults/Prefer 1 on 1 Time • Special Interests • Overshare • Struggle with Hygiene • Confused About Sexuality • Superior IQ • Need Routines Aspergirls Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Aspergirls-Empowering-Females-Asperger-Syndrome/dp/1849058261/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=aspergirls&qid=1635905498&qsid=139-5617070-2218953&sr=8-1&sres=1849058261%2C1849857911%2CB0085GW6EE%2CB01LEXUKGU%2CB07Q1G76NY%2C1849055475%2C1510732845%2C0989597113%2CB07BYFDFBP%2C1647397243%2C1843106698%2C1849057575%2C1849059152%2C0997504528%2C184905634X%2C1732638101&srpt=ABIS_BOOK Autism spectrum disorder is a condition that affects the way people behave, socialize, and communicate with others. This disorder is commonly referred to simply as autism. It used to be broken down into sub-types, such as Asperger’s syndrome, but it’s now treated as a condition with a wide-ranging spectrum of symptoms and severity.
