Why does autism become harder to deal with in an adult versus a child?

What will be an ideal response?


Adults are bigger. And adults with autism will lack emotional regulation and because they are adults, this may be more disruptive. Further, adults are sexually desiring, so they will lack the social knowledge of the appropriate expression of those desires. This combined makes it harder.
