Celebrations and Being on the Spectrum

Perhaps this has been discussed but this would be new to me. My love one had been given the diagnosis of autism in Mayo ER. How was this condition not been seen before as he is 35 with a bipolar condition? What determines this condition? He speaks incredibly well and has numerous degrees. Though shy and was reclusive at our family Christmas party and requested his dad take him home after the dinner. Today he said he’s finally relaxing.
I have been reading up on the autism spectrum. Where would I find additional resources.
Thank you

I am 32 and only just now being diagnosed. From what I have been learning some of us are better as "masking" then others. And since even I didn't really know about the spectrum until after I was told I might be on it, I had no way of making the connection. A personal source I have been using to educate myself has been a youtube channel called 'Aspergers from the Inside'. I really relate to the things this guy talks about, and I have been sharing his videos with some of my family.
