They believe that once you’ve interacted with an autistic child, you’ve interacted with an autistic child forever. And that adage is true, for better or worse. An autistic child’s symptoms may not be visible to the untrained eye. Young people with autism don’t appear any different than anyone else. Autistic children might range from being completely mute to being quite verbal.
Characteristics of a Person with Autism
Here are some of the ways in which autistic people differ from the norm. Now, then, let’s investigate this more.
Autistic Children will always have Trouble Expressing themselves in Social Situations
There is typically a delay in language development in autistic children. They might be completely mute, develop language slowly, speak with an atypical prosody or even just verbatim recite dialogue from television. Once more, there are a wide variety of possible manifestations.
Children with Autism often Exhibit Unusual Behaviors Compared to their Typically Developing Classmates
Autistic children undergo breakdowns or tantrums due to being overwhelmed, upset, or incapable of communicate their needs.
Sensory Issues are Common among Autistic Children
They may like or shy away from extremes of touch, sound, flavor, or aroma. They could be hypersensitive to light or quickly startled by even the slightest noise or motion. Some autistic children are extremely sensitive to sounds and other sensory stimuli that may not bother typically developing kids.
