Question

when you think of autisim you often think of a child,
hence the tests you come to see in documentarys or articles.

but could an adult be autistic without knowing about it.

and are there any prooven tests to help adults find out online.

Answer 1

Absolutely, because there are so many degrees of it!

If you have difficulty socializing, or if you have extreme reactions to touch or sound, are two biggies.

If you're easily over-stimulated is another. As a mom, I think they will someday discover that autism and ADD are intertwined.

Evelyn, not all of that is true. My son is severely autistic and he is the biggest slob you ever saw. You are right about routines though.

Answer 2

autistic people have certain traits. most are neatness, they need to put things in the same place each time. They tend to seperate their food on their plate,they have to have neatness all over the house, nothing can be out of place.routine is very important to them
