Introduction 🧠

Welcome to my studio! Just kidding, but I used to do a radio show. The setup reminds me of that. As many of you know, I’ve been trying to evolve my content to include new technologies. I’m not sure about my setup right now, but I’m going to try it out for a week on Wednesdays and see if I can increase my output.

Today’s video is going to talk about often unrecognized traits of autism in women. This video is for everyone, as research has gone into how we have been socialized as women. I’ll be posting a video with specific traits that all women can relate to, and while each of us has our own naturalness as human beings, it’s important to acknowledge these traits.

Unmasking Neurodiversity 🌈

As I’ve been learning more about neurodiversity, I’ve realized that many responses and trauma experiences that were unseen actually contribute to the traits associated with autism in women. It’s important to focus on unmasking these traits, as they are a part of the neurodiversity in our society.

Social Overthinking and Confusion 💭

The way the mind thinks about social dynamics and interactions can lead to overthinking, confusion, and self-blame. It’s crucial to understand these aspects, as they contribute to the social dynamics and sensory issues associated with autism in women.

Sensory Issues and Disregulation 🧠

Sensory issues can manifest in various ways, such as hypersensitivity to smells, sounds, and touch. It’s important to acknowledge the challenges faced by individuals with sensory issues and how they navigate these experiences in their daily lives.

Seeking Refuge in Solitude 🌌

Many individuals on the autism spectrum seek refuge in solitude as a way to manage sensory overload and social exhaustion. It’s important to understand and respect their need for alone time, as it plays a crucial role in their well-being.

Empathic and Driven by Justice 🌍

Individuals with autism often have a strong sense of empathy and are driven by a desire for justice, especially in their interactions with animals. It’s important to recognize and acknowledge this unique aspect of their personality.

Conclusion 🌟

In conclusion, understanding the unrecognized signs of autism in women is essential for creating a more inclusive society. By unmasking neurodiversity, acknowledging sensory issues, and respecting their need for solitude, we can create a more supportive environment for individuals on the autism spectrum.
