Late-diagnosed autism, particularly in intelligent women, often involves using cognitive ability as a survival strategy to function, adapt, and compensate across daily life. That same intelligence can also drive pattern recognition, structural thinking, and meaningful creativity. Autism Excellence explores how autistic individuals can recognize and build on their strengths, while helping neurotypical people understand how different forms of intelligence shape perception, communication, and innovation.
