adult autism

I read an article in a magazine a year or two ago about a woman who was diagnosed with adult autism. Some of her symptoms included hypersensitivity to noise, a super strong startle reaction, inability to handle if she was interrupted and the list went on. Anyway, I know someone who fits the descriptions listed to a tee. Is there any way you could advise me on where I could go to research this further?
Thanks
