TikTok Video Sparks Conversation About Autism Awareness and Diagnosis

A recent TikTok video by KC (@bishuwish) has sparked conversation about autism awareness and diagnosis. KC, who is clinically diagnosed with autism, addresses a comment claiming 'everyone is autistic'. She explains that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) manifests differently in individuals, leading to challenges in diagnosis, particularly for women. "Women in general have an extra hard time getting diagnosed with autism because their symptoms typically show up different than in boys and men," KC explains in the video. The video highlights the importance of spreading awareness and challenging the stigma surrounding autism. KC's personal experience, backed by her clinical diagnosis, adds weight to her message, emphasizing the need for greater understanding and acceptance of the diverse ways autism can present itself.
