  • Inability to stay on topic when talking or answering questions
  • Not recognizing sarcasm or joking
  • Trouble expressing needs and emotions
  • Not getting signals from body language, tone of voice, and expressions

Children affected by autism may also exhibit behaviors that appear unusual or demonstrate interests that aren’t typical, such as:

  • Repetitive behaviors like hand-flapping, rocking, jumping, or twirling
  • Constant moving (pacing) and “hyper” behavior
  • Fixations on certain activities or objects
  • Specific routines or rituals (and getting upset when a routine is changed, even slightly)
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch, light, and sound
  • Not taking part in “make-believe” play or imitating others’ behaviors
  • Fussy eating habits
  • Lack of coordination, clumsiness
  • Impulsiveness (acting without thinking)
  • Aggressive behavior, both with self and others
  • Short attention span

What is Autism?

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects individuals’ social interactions, communication skills, and behavior. Statistics indicate that approximately 1 in 54 children are diagnosed in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is called a spectrum disorder because it manifests with a wide range of symptoms and severity levels.

People effected by autism may experience challenges in understanding and interpreting social cues, forming relationships, and expressing themselves verbally or non-verbally. It’s crucial to recognize that autism presents uniquely for each person, leading to a diverse spectrum of abilities and characteristics. While some individuals may require substantial support, others may thrive independently in various aspects of life.
