What are some of the signs of ASDs?
People with ASDs may have problems with social, emotional, and communication skills. They might repeat certain
behaviors and might not want change in their daily activities. Many people with ASDs also have different ways of learning,
paying attention, or reacting to things.
A child or adult with an ASD might:
■ not play “pretend” games (pretend to “feed” a doll)
■ not point at objects to show interest (point at an airplane flying over)
■ not look at objects when another person points at them
■ have trouble relating to others or not have an interest in other
people at all
■ avoid eye contact and want to be alone
■ have trouble understanding other people’s feelings or talking
about their own feelings
■ prefer not to be held or cuddled or might cuddle only when they want to
■ appear to be unaware when other people talk to them but respond to other sounds
■ be very interested in people, but not know how to talk, play, or relate to them
■ repeat or echo words or phrases said to them, or repeat words or phrases in place of normal language (echolalia)
■ have trouble expressing their needs using typical words or motions
■ repeat actions over and over again
■ have trouble adapting when a routine changes
■ have unusual reactions to the way things smell, taste, look, feel, or sound
■ lose skills they once had (for instance, stop saying words they were using)
