21 autistic traits that are rarely talked about

Описание: Have you ever experienced traits that no one seems to talk about in the autism community? In this video, I share 21 uncommon autism traits that many autistic adults experience—but are often misunderstood or overlooked.

From intense emotions and unique sensory experiences to bold clothing choices, imaginary friends, and the surprising push-and-pull between wanting to fit in yet wanting to be different, this is an honest, empowering look at the less-discussed sides of autism.

Whether you’re a late-diagnosed autistic adult, self-identify as autistic, or are exploring your neurodivergence, my goal is to help you understand your experiences, feel less alone, and embrace your authentic self with confidence.

✨ In this video, we cover traits such as:
• Intense compassion & empathy
• Collecting things but not using them
• Poor or unusual posture
• Prolonged staring & eavesdropping
• A large or unique vocabulary
• The deep connection with animals
• Constant curiosity & problem-solving
…and 14 more!
