How to tell if an adult has autism
Differential diagnosis of autism in adults is carried out if schizophrenia or depressive disorders are suspected.
The most commonly used diagnostic methods are: EEG to detect seizure activity; MRI and ultrasound to detect changes in the brain.
What are autistic people like in adulthood
You can suspect autism in adults, the signs of which can be quite mild and seemingly erased, based on the following symptoms: Withdrawal, secrecy, reluctance to communicate and talk openly even with close people.
Many of the signs of autism in adults are similar to those in children. Examples include problems reading and responding to social cues, difficulty communicating in a way that others can understand, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests.
