What Do People with Autism Behave Like?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects individuals in unique ways, so behavior can vary widely. However, there are common traits often seen in people with autism:

• Social Communication Challenges: Many individuals with autism may find it difficult to engage in typical conversations. They may prefer to communicate through non-verbal cues, or sometimes they may not initiate or maintain conversations easily.

• Repetitive Behaviors: Repetitive movements or routines, such as hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating the same action, are often observed. These behaviors help individuals with autism feel calm or in control.
  
  
• Sensory Sensitivities: People with autism may experience heightened sensitivity to lights, sounds, textures, or smells. Certain sensory experiences can overwhelm them, leading to discomfort or distress.
  
  
• Focused Interests: Individuals with autism may develop deep, focused interests in specific topics or activities. This intense focus can be a strength, allowing them to excel in areas they are passionate about.
