Why Am I Feeling More Autistic As I Get Older?

As we age, many of us begin to notice our sensory limits, emotional needs, and autistic traits with greater clarity. In this episode, Ashra explores why it can feel like autism becomes more intense over time—not because we’re becoming "more autistic", but because we’re finally able to notice what’s always been there. Through personal reflection and research-backed insights, this episode offers language, validation, and a reframing of what it means to grow into your autistic self.
