This is the first part 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...women are humans after all! We're also ridiculously under-diagnosed). I'm talking about all of the social stuff like playground loneliness and discomfort with eye contact.

00:55 Common misdiagnoses
02:08 How men get away with autism
03:07 Don't worry if you don't relate
04:27 Do you have social anxiety?
05:43 Everyone else is managing this
07:50 Do you have any friends?
09:17 Can you keep friends?
10:40 How we feel about female friendships
12:50 Older or younger friends?
13:50 Are you naive?
15:59 Can you make eye contact?
20:00 What do you do with your hands?
21:26 Are you constantly monitoring yourself?
