  2. Understanding the ASD Diagnosis Process for Adults One of the challenges in diagnosing ASD in adults is that symptoms can manifest differently than in children. While children may display more obvious signs of social and communication difficulties, adults may have developed coping mechanisms that mask these challenges. Some common signs of ASD in adults may include difficulty understanding social cues, maintaining eye contact, or engaging in small talk. They may have a hard time with changes to their routine or surroundings and may exhibit repetitive behaviors or fixations on specific interests. Seeking a Diagnosis If you suspect you may have ASD, the first step is to seek out a professional evaluation. This may involve seeing a psychologist, psychiatrist, or another mental health professional who has experience diagnosing ASD. The evaluation process typically involves a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, behaviors, and medical history. You may be asked to complete questionnaires or assessments, and the professional may also speak to family members or others who know you well.

  3. Getting a Diagnosis and Accessing Support • Once you have received an ASD diagnosis, you may be eligible for support services such as therapy, behavioral interventions, and assistive technology. These services can help you improve your social and communication skills, manage sensory challenges, and address any co-occurring mental health conditions.
