Understanding Autism: Key Traits and Behaviors

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication. Understanding these traits can help foster better awareness and support.

Key Traits of Autism:

• Social Communication Challenges: Difficulty with verbal and nonverbal communication, making it hard to engage in typical social interactions.
• Repetitive Behaviors: Engaging in repeated actions or rituals, such as hand-flapping or lining up objects.
• Restricted Interests: Intense focus on specific topics or activities, often to the exclusion of other interests.
• Sensory Sensitivities: Over- or under-sensitivity to sensory stimuli such as light, sound, or texture.

Recognizing these traits early can lead to timely interventions and support. For more detailed information, check out our
