Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar el impacto del camuflaje social en el diagnóstico tardío del Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA). Revisión bibliográfica: Aunque el camuflaje social pueda tener un impacto positivo inicial dentro de los objetivos individuales de la persona con TEA, siempre se deben contraponer estos puntos frente a los altos costos a largo plazo en la salud mental. Es importante que el TEA sea difundido en todos los escenarios de la sociedad para que las personas tengan una percepción cultural sobre el fenómeno del camuflaje social, ayudando así en el proceso diagnóstico aunque sea tardío. Aunque la capacidad de camuflar y compensar permite una interacción social aparentemente más aceptada dentro del mundo predominantemente neurotípico, es importante reconocer que este esfuerzo puede ser agotador y conllevar altos costos emocionales y mentales, desde un deterioro sustancial de la calidad de vida hasta incluso correr riesgos para la vida. Consideraciones finales: Comprender las estrategias de camuflaje y compensación es crucial para desarrollar enfoques diagnósticos y terapéuticos más sensibles y eficaces, especialmente teniendo en cuenta las diferencias de género en el espectro autista.
