What do autistic people do?

Autistic people are a diverse group of individuals with a wide range of strengths and needs. Some common features of autism include:

* Social difficulties: Autistic people may have difficulty with social interactions, such as understanding social cues, making eye contact, or expressing themselves socially.

* Communication difficulties: Autistic people may have difficulty with verbal communication, such as understanding or expressing spoken language clearly. They may also have difficulty with non-verbal communication, such as understanding or using body language.

* Sensory sensitivities: Autistic people may be more sensitive to sensory stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, or taste.

* Repetitive behaviors: Autistic people may engage in repetitive behaviors, such as flapping their hands, rocking back and forth, or repeating certain words or phrases.

* Narrow interests: Autistic people may have a narrow range of interests that they are very focused on and may not be interested in other things.

* Difficulties with executive function: Autistic people may have difficulty with executive function skills, such as planning, organizing, and attention.

It is important to remember that everyone is different and everyone experiences autism in different ways.
