Today, society is much more aware of autism than ever. About 1 in 45 adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Thanks to improved public health outreach, increased screening, and advocacy and awareness efforts, autism awareness has increased.
However, there are likely many adults with autism who have never received a diagnosis or were misdiagnosed. If you suspect that you or someone you know may be autistic, learning about the common signs of autism is the first step to understanding whether you or your loved one may have undiagnosed autism.
