Undiagnosed Autism Aspergers in Adults

Length - 8:31

Autistic children grow up to be Autistic adults. Recognising the Triad of Impairments in my experience is just the starting point, and as many people affected by Autism will tell you, Autistic spectrum disorder can be a hugely complicated condition to understand. And even though there are common symptoms that Autistic people may share, Not everyone with Autism display all the symptoms all the time.

I produced a documentary for law enforcement in the State of California on how to recognize and respond to autistic individuals. Autism is a developmental disorder that is marked by difficulties in communication skills, social interactions, other behaviors such as play or leisure activities. This training is important because in a critical situation, autistics need to be treated with compassion and gentleness.
