Document Summary
A lot have amazing encyclopedic storage with the word we are saying. But kids with autism have trouble with this, and they cant tell sarcasm. Infants with autism don"t conform to you when you hold, they don"t make eye contact, they don"t respond to their name being called, they treat people like they. We communication with gestures, postures, tone of our voice, that isn"t the same. Put kids with autism tg and they don"t talk, play, they act like they aren"t there , Less sensitive to pain, or cold than others they"re oblivious to the pain they cause failure to be empathic and recognize how ppl feel. They have to have everything exactly the same. Tend to get wrapped up in repitive behavior. themselves. Exxagerated responses to bright lights, loud sounds (hypersensitivity) They use unsual senses to examining objects- smelling people. Expect this to be very early in development.
