Autistic Behaviors - Helpful Ways to Identify and Support

Autistic behaviors can present themselves differently in each person, which is why it is termed a “spectrum.”

Having said that, many behaviors listed below are more common than not. If you have autism, more than likely you have some social and interaction challenges, may have repetitive behaviors, and may have some obsessions (hyper-focus) on some topics as well. And many with autism spectrum disorder also have anxiety.

Of course, it doesn’t mean people are on the spectrum are less than anyone else. It just means we may come with some extra challenges that are deserving of awareness and acceptance. Remember, autism can also be a super power!
