September 29, 2006, Newsletter Issue #9: Behaviors Exhibited by Autistic Children
Tip of the Week
The signs of autism can vary widely. Children with autism are all individuals and some are more deeply affected by autism than others. While some autistic children may display the majority of the signs of autism, others may be affected less severely and display only a few of the signs. Being aware of the signs can help you to seek the treatment that your child needs. The following are a few examples of the behaviors exhibit by children with autism.
• Resisting change
• Difficulty expressing themselves
• Difficulty interacting with others
• Not wanting to be cuddled
• Rarely or never making eye contact
• Not responding to teaching methods
• Being over or under sensitive to pain
• Lacking fear
• Not responding to verbal cues
These are just a few of the behaviors sometimes displayed by autistic children. While displaying one or two of these behaviors may not be indicative of autism, you should discuss your concerns with a medical professional.
