Autistic individuals frequently mask their traits to conform to non-autistic social norms, which can be both mentally and physically exhausting. One in 36 people have a diagnosis of autism, a prevalence higher than many realize. As a result, countless individuals particularly those from marginalized groups have gone undiagnosed until adulthood or not at all. Nearby, a man studies a list on his phone while a cashier rings up a customers order with precision. At the grocery store, a mother guides her child down the cereal aisle. Amid these ordinary scenes, there is likely someone who is autistic. But for many, its a hidden diagnosis.
