Why Autism Hides in Women

Turns out, autism is way harder to spot in women than men—and it’s not just doctors missing the signs. Many women with autism learn to “mask” their symptoms early on, basically camouflaging to fit in. This means tons of women go undiagnosed for years, sometimes forever. The classic signs? They’re not always obvious, especially since girls often have interests and behaviors that blend in. Society’s outdated stereotypes don’t help either. Makes you wonder how many people are slipping through the cracks! #AutismAwareness #Neurodiversity #MentalHealth #Health
