Autism Symptoms in Adults

Executive Dysfunction

Some autistic adults might hair their executive functions impaired. These are the ability to manage time, stay organized, or transition properly. The disorder makes them struggle with basic skills and might have to find special ways to adapt. Some specific signs of executive dysfunction include losing items, forgetting to eat or brush their teeth, not remembering home assignments or conversations, difficulty keeping the space clean, as well as trouble starting a project. These problems make it challenging for people with autism to handle complicated situations in life. [4]
