What to Do If You Think You Might Be on the Autism Spectrum as an Adult

Adults with autism usually do not seek out normal social interactions, play games more suitable for younger people, and may repeat simple phrases back to speakers. Behavioral abnormalities include extreme daily rituals, obsessive organizational skills and systematic actions with the same object. For instance, someone may tell an adult with autism "Look at the airplane" and then the autistic person responds with "at airplane. An example of ritualistic behavior is when an autistic adult requires the exact same amount of bath water every time. Another way this symptom manifests itself is when an adult lines up clothes, repeatedly and systematically, by moving each individual piece in the same manner, according to MedicineNet.
