Yes, it is very common for Autistic adults to have gone throughout their lives without knowing that they were Autistic. It was believed that Autism only occurred in boys, that a person was only Autistic if they behaved in a way common in those more severely impacted by Autism, and Autism was not widely known about a few decades ago...thus often people don't realize they're Autistic. Many adults do not realize that they're Autistic until their children are diagnosed and they start to learn more about Autism, thus recognize characteristics in themselves.
