Autism presents differently in every individual, but certain behaviors are commonly observed. These may include repetitive movements (like hand-flapping or rocking), intense focus on specific interests, and challenges with social interaction or communication. Autistic children might prefer routines, struggle with changes, or engage in solitary play. Sensory sensitivities such as being overwhelmed by loud noises or bright lights are also frequent.
Some children may avoid eye contact, have delayed speech, or use language in unique ways. Others might excel in visual thinking or memory but find social cues confusing. These behaviors aren’t flaws, they’re part of how autistic individuals experience and respond to the world.
Recognizing these traits early can lead to timely support. ABA therapy helps children build communication, social, and adaptive skills while honoring their strengths and individuality.
