∙ 8y agoGenerally speaking Autistic people improve from childhood into adulthood, but can worsen if they experience regression (often a result of burnout from pretending to be neurotypical to fit-in) and as they enter into old-age. Obviously this depends a lot on the individual and their situation, an Autistic adult going into homelessness or experiencing trauma is likely to regress for example and may end up with more severe symptoms than in childhood. Some people remain the same throughout their lives.
