15 Hidden Autistic Traits You Might Be Masking Without Realising

Hi! I'm Orion Kelly and I'm Autistic. Not all autistic traits are obvious. In fact, some of the most common traits go completely unnoticed—especially in adults who’ve spent years masking just to get through life. In this video, I share 15 hidden autistic traits you might be masking without even realising it. These aren’t the traits you see in checklists or TV portrayals—these are the subtle patterns, habits, and emotional responses that many autistic people live with every day. If you’ve ever thought, “This is just how I’ve always been”—this might help explain why.
