Autism Can Activate Later in Life. Here's the Science.

Not all autism appears early in childhood. New research on autism is revealing that the condition may include multiple biological and developmental profiles rather than a single pathway. In this video, we break down what new research is discovering about autism heterogeneity, including why some autistic individuals are identified later in life and why their experiences may look different from traditional descriptions. Understanding these differences matters because when autism only fits one narrow stereotype, many people are missed, misunderstood, or diagnosed years later.
