TW: Brief mention of eating disorders. Skip number 9!
Part 1 about social differences:

Part 2 about sensory differences:
youtu.be/36hlRsewJG4
This is the final episode of my three-part series about signs of autism (I say women in the title, but these could apply to any individual of any gender!) This one combines potential emotional differences with a few traits relevant to special interests and hyper-focus. Remember that you could experience a few of these and not be autistic (my neurotypical partner can be fidgety as hell, but is the least autistic person on earth). Equally, you may not relate to some of these points and still be autistic. We're all so different.
I really hope this is helpful/useful to you in some way. Thank you so much for taking to the time to watch! Feel free to make requests for future videos in the comments below.
