"Formerly Undetected Autism: A Young Woman's 10 Missed Signs"

A young woman named Zoe is using her TikTok platform to raise awareness about the signs of autism in women that are often missed during screenings. She shared 10 signs of autism that were overlooked in her own childhood, including masking, sensory issues with food, hyperlexia, sensitivity to criticism, hyperfocusing on hobbies, discomfort being the center of attention, difficulty regulating body temperature, laughing at inappropriate times, hypersensitivity to others' emotions, and an obsession with music. Zoe hid her autism due to shame and stereotypes, but after being diagnosed in 2017, she became an advocate for other autistic women, sharing her experiences to help them feel less alone.
