Autism and Getting Older

Hey People!

Me again, I hope you don't mind because I have another question.

Do you think as you get older your autism gets worse?

As a teenager I was really bad but then in my 20's I learned to handle it better but I'm finding that as I get older I meltdown faster, get sensory overloaded much more quickly and cope less than I used to say 10 years ago.

I seem to lose it much more often these days than I used to and I'm finding myself going out less because of it. I have seen my GP who has ruled out depression or any other mental condition so it must just be autism.

What do others think?
